In 2005, while playing safety for the Rams, he was awarded the most bogus interception I’ve ever seen. It was a game against the Saints during the hurricane katrina year. He tackled tight end ernie conwell to the ground then ripped the ball out of his hands and ran it back for a score. Put them in front late and got them the win, totally bogus, don’t care about his career. Saints should have been 4-12!

Furrey had to retire from the NFL early because of concussions. I would think the damage is measurable.
============

Had to? You sure about that? He had one great year, which by the way would have been 5th best this season, and had declining production over the rest of his “career”. The Lions let him walk, and teams weren’t exactly falling all over themselves to acquire him.

He was a physically limited system pony who got lucky. The fact that the “concussion related concerns” hyperlink on this article links to “mikefurrey.net” should tell you all you need to know.

If Mike Martz got Jon Kitna and this bum to connect for 98 receptions in one year, then he can’t be as bad of a coordinator as people say.

Umm…….How does someone who has shown measurable success in his post football life show damages in a lawsuit?

Not being able to find your car keys as quickly as you could before doesn’t impact your possibility for future earnings, which is what civil litigation is supposed to be for.

Civil court is not like criminal court. You don’t just have to prove the defendant did something wrong, you have to be able to prove it caused measurable damages.

Completely forgot about this guy and I was a huge fan of him.

Good to see him moving up the coaching ranks.

So he’s coaching the same sport that caused the concussions in his life?
