What are you asking me? Who broke their leg? Oh, [Leon Washington] fucked me in Fantasy last year!...

What are you asking me? Who broke their leg? Oh, [Leon Washington] fucked me in Fantasy last year! Well, I don't know what kind of dog-shit prognosis ESPN gave it, but all he did was break his Fib-N'-Tib. I know that sounds gruesome at first blush, and for Johnny American it would be, but this guy belongs to the NFL; he will have top medical treatment. I would be surprised if he had any pain left in his leg at this point...A layman would say he had a "rod" put in his leg, but in reality an internal fixator is a thin piece of titanium...Speed loss? A fibula isn't a ligament jack ass, once the bones heal, it's solid: no weakening of structure, no loss of strength. Any lessening of speed would be purely from atrophy, and he would regain it through training.

— Dr. Jon Hobson, orthopedic surgeon, on the nature of Leon Washington's injury, via my phone's Voice Memos. I asked him about it over a beer at Jake's Crawfish. Thought you fellas might want to hear it.
