Based on Nick Caserio’s press conference yesterday, we now know a few things about Joe Mixon’s mysterious injury. Apparently it was a “medical condition” and a “unique situation” and “just a freak thing.” Moreover, it was definitely NOT…

  • a snowmobile accident
  • a cliff-diving accident
  • the result of jumping off a building
  • anything “irresponsible”

As such, I hereby decree that today we will engage in ridiculous, irrational, baseless speculation about what actually did happen to Joe Mixon. So here are a few potential explanations I came up with on my own:

  • He was unexpectedly struck by a falling anvil (a la Looney Tunes) and smushed like an accordion.
  • He was attacked by one of those tiny little fish that swims up your pee-hole and makes your dick fall off.
  • He was abducted by Chinese organ thieves, who sold his kidneys on the black market.
  • He was shrunk down by a mad scientist, placed inside a glass bottle, and thrown into the ocean.

* My 13-year-old stepson actually came up with that last one.
