Well, good chance it's coming to Boulder as SJSU is one of the four programs that confirmed it uses Toradol on a regular basis.

After this report it isn't!

you mean football programs inject pain killers in their players so that they can play through injuries that would make ordinary grown men cry like small babies?

That's my reaction as well.

My recently retired NFL buddy said that they all popped Toradol tablets like Tic Tacs.

Put a Toradol tablet in your mouth and get a ZING out of life! The clean, fresh explosion of meds!

Been going on for years. I remember a game when CU knocked Tommy Frazier out of the game like 6 times, only for him to come trotting out of the locker room, with bounce in his step and a smile on his face. Our defense did everything but tear his legs off. It was in Boulder.

Just ran this by the doc I sleep next to, she says hydration is important when taking the stuff so the liver can process it, but it's in the same family of drugs as Motrin, but the normal dose is equal to about 2000 mg. Like any drug, ya just have to be careful who you give it to and how.

Maybe its just me, but as a lawyer, I think there is a HUGE difference between giving these BEFORE a game than after.

should have and would have, if it wasn't for those pesky pain meds

 

[DBT]

This stuff is nothing compared to Krokidil

 

[Liver]

was 1993 the year that frazier went hurdling out of bounds and gashed open his leg on a metal bench? they worked on him really quick and bandaged it up and he went back in?

 

[BuffLuke80]

Pretty sure Kordell threw some awful picks in that 1993 game, wasn't it like 21-17 or something?

 

[GregInArlington]

Just put some tussin on it

 

[The Ogre]

Cider works pretty well, too, but ya have to soak it.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

hmmmm, this could get painful

yes... Kordell couldnt hit the broad side of the barn that day and we still had a chance to win in the last few minutes.

They give 'em to people who felt great?

To me, if you give the kid this medicine before a game, then he can't play naturally. If you gave it after a game due to an injury, that would be its intended use in my opinion.

This behavior is reprehensible to me.
