Headline on ESPN for Notre Dame's starting quarterback Jimmy Clausen. No one gives a crap about Notre Dame or Jimmy Clausen. My focus is on the turf toe part of the headline.
Nothing serious, huh? Tell that to Ladainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers. When they got turf toe, the poor guys could barely run their routes and struggled to gain a couple yards!
Nothing serious? Tell that to Darren McFadden of the Oakland Raiders. Ok, so the Raiders weren't going anywhere last season anyway, but that doesn't mean that this young rook couldn't have had a great year. Turf toe basically ruined his season.
Nothing serious? Tell that to Lions back-up quarterback Daunte Culpepper. He tried to make one last hurrah and was trying to beat out rookie Matthew Stafford for the starting spot, then BAM! Turf toe hit. Matthew Stafford is now the starting quarterback for the pitiful Lions.
Nothing serious? Tell that to Shaq when he hurt his 3 ft. toe with the Lakers. (Maybe it wasn't turf toe, I'd like to call it Court Toe. It kept him out either way)
Turf toe has ruined the season of several athletes and fantasy football owners alike.
I'm sorry, Clausen. Good luck next year becuase I can almost guarantee the fighting Irish will have to fight without you for the rest of this season. You can give it a shot like the rest and get the life tackled out of you, but I'd let the back-up go in for you.
The agony of the feet. Very serious.
