Thanks everyone who apologized and all that. I just wanted to get the info out. Like i said in my first post, I would never waste my time and go out of my way to post some fake information just to rile people up. But I guess it's natural for people to think that about just a name they see on here without knowing the person. It's nothing personal because nobody on here knows me...but I do appreciate anyone who has apologized. It's all good.

Side note: I actually tweeted at Reiss a couple days ago and told him and asked him if he knew. He never got back to me. I think he stole my info!! haha.

Gotta give the OP credit, never backed down from the barrage of doubters. Kudos OP. That being said, that doesn't seem that serious. and there was a pic of him and others at the Kentucky Derby last Saturday, didn't seem to have a walking boot on, so obviously very minor. They said they had to adjust a screw, I always thought Edelman had a screw loose ;-)

Apparently off topic:

When did having to re-insert a bone screw become just a 'cleanup' procedure?

Not trying to start another string of questioning our posters so I choose to believe you but is it fact the procedure was to replace a screw?

“The soreness that he’s experiencing is unrelated to the fracture,” Presti said. “The soreness that he’s experiencing is in relation to the screw itself, touching an area of the foot that more often than not doesn’t create soreness. In Kevin’s case it was creating some soreness. We looked for ways to manage the soreness proactively and we exhausted those measures. We then consulted Dr. Anderson and another outside physician, and the decision and recommendation that was conveyed to us was he’s in a stage now in his healing process that would allow us to transition to a different screw, which should relieve the soreness while still promote the healing of the initial fracture site. So the prognosis of the initial injury continues to be very positive.

Very similar to how conservatives like to bring up the liberal media, Obama and the degradation of the country in topics that have asolutely nothing to do with politics. Both speak to the mindset of whiny, easily intimidated man children.

He had surgery on the right foot in 2012.

Ivan said:

I based my comments on two things, the first was that I have never seen one of these first hand reports that was actually true and the second was that in this day and age of social media any instance where a pro athlete is in public sporting an injury or a bottle of champagne is usually all over the place. Mack Herron cited a report that Edelman was hurting and I asked where he got the information and he cited Christians post, which I denounced as a troll for the reasons above. As it turned out he was telling the truth and I was wrong, so I apologized to him both publicly and by PM.

Like anything else if you make a mistake you own it, apologize, learn from it, and move on. Next time I will give more weight to the posters history and I will let others deal with the trolls who come in here instead of jumping on them myself.

I am not positive on the details but from what I heard this was a "cleanup" procedure so I would assume that it is the same foot.

Clearly you have a successful marriage

If any of the padwans out there who aspire to be married for a long time, that is rule #1.

Good stuff, Ivan, although I wasn't meaning to single you out by any means. Most of us were skeptical to some degree.

Thank you for the response, however, I was referring to the last time Edelman broke a foot and needed surgery. I believe it was '12 or '13. He's certainly had some issues with the wheels.

Danger Zone said:

Oh please.

This whole schtick of calling homers blind and dumb (at a fan site none-the-less) gets really really old. You guys attack at least as much as you get attacked. And pretending that you can summarily dismiss people's opinions because you have some precognitive insight into their motivations only makes you look like the kind of close-minded idiot you are accusing the other side of being.

As with any forum.. some people went a little overboard here.... but as Ian rightfully pointed out, there was plenty of reason to doubt the OP if for no other reason than the odds.

Trolls happen daily.

Stories being broken by a newish poster a full week ahead of the press catching on.. happens very, very, very, very rarely.

That all said.. the OP absolutely deserves to see some crow being eaten.
