Antonio Brown badly wants to play in the NFL again, but the former Tampa Bay Bucs star wide receiver says he'll only have surgery to repair his busted ankle if an NFL team commits to signing him.

Is this guy nuts?

(57,920 posts)When a broken bone has healed incorrectly, you don't want to know what the surgeon has to do to fix it.
(I know personally as I broke my leg and ankle at the beginning of the covid pandemic 2 years ago, when most of the surgical centers were closed. Surgeons and ER docs let me what would happen if I didn't get surgery repair in a timely fashion.)
This guy is an idiot.

(57,920 posts)I had a really good surgeon, rods and pins holding the bones together.
And really strenuous physical therapy.
I can walk fine. But if a football player has to squat down and get back up, this could take awhile to do it without pain. I still cannot do it even with all the PT.

(176,879 posts)They did fusion surgery on it. It will never be quite the same, but it improves all the time.
Brown needs to have his head examined, too.
