Seems like Joba just has some bad karma surrounding him...

Other athletes get injured in fights, motorcycle wrecks, shooting themselves in the leg, conducting drug deals, and assorted nefarious situations............

While Joba gets it PLAYING WITH HIS SON.......!!

Hopefully he gets healed quickly and starts catching some positive breaks down the road...
