someclown Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 whats the difference?Not being a smart ass just wonderingThere is no difference. A "broken blood vessel" is a brain hemorrhage, which is a stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great player and seems like a decent guy. I can't see how he could play again, though. I don't think any insurance company will insure him if they think for a second that one good shot to the head could potentially kill him.

kfitz73 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 whats the difference?Not being a smart ass just wonderingA broken blood vessel doesn't always cause a stroke. A stroke only occurs if the broken vessel starts to deprive the brain of oxygen. There are many possible causes for strokes. My uncle had one 4 or 5 months ago and they have no idea what caused it. Everything in his head checked out perfect...ESPN updated the story and he did in fact have a mild stroke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
