The Redskins must pay former punter Tom Tupa workers' compensation for a back injury that ended his career in 2005, the Maryland Court of Appeals has ruled. A 17-year veteran at the time, Tupa was injured while warming up during a preseason game at FedEx Field in August of 2005 and did not return to action after that injury. Tupa, who punted in all 16 Redskins games in 2004, filed the claim with the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission in 2007, according to court documents and won the claim. The Redskins appealed, however, but lost their appeal Feb. 28 and must pay partial disability and medical expenses to Tupa. "I am happy for Tom and feel like this is a well-deserved victory," said Tupa's agent, Neil Cornrich when reached by phone. Source: Washington Post
I remember him from Madden. Never was very good. I guess the injury explains why he hasn't been seen on a Madden roster in a few years. Enjoy the money, Epic Fail.
...What? 1. He had an 18 year career, and started in two different positions 2. He was a pro bowler 3. He was a damn good punter 4. He got compensation that he deserved Now that's a far more reasonable argument than "he was low rated on Madden so he must be crap, and therefore doesn't deserve compensation and epic fails". A moronic post.
a botched punt lost me a game AND $500. I guess you could say I think that because he hecked up for me, he's a heckup.
