Apparently he got frostbite in a cryotherapy machine because he didn't use proper footwear. He has 3 years left on contract for $50 million, with $30 million guaranteed...

I went skiing in Maine one winter and I had some serious cryotherapy.

Me too. I was at Sugarloaf Mtn and I think I reached that point just before frostbite sets in. Chin and toes.

I’ve heard of a hotfoot but...

I was sure it was going to be foot in mouth disease

Cryotherapy is a fad I guess. All controlled trials I have seen find it worthless, but guys like Lebron swear by it.

Steelers fans must be loving this.

What is proper footwear for this icing system?

dry socks

It is cold N2 vapor that you are exposed to, and you don't want anything to be wet.

Since vapor is not a great heat conductor, it doesn't affect much more than your skin, which also suggests that there is no reason that it should do anything for deeper tissues, like muscles and joints.

Working for Lebron...he cries a lot.

This is so surprising. AB is such a heady, common-sense guy...

In cases of extreme frostbite people lose their toes. I’m not an AB fan but I sure wouldn’t wish that on anyone

Spoiler Alert! The next episode of Hard Knocks will be broadcast from Antonio Brown's favorite restaurant - IHOP.

I, your intrepid old coot, Joe Kerr, suffered from frostbite for over twenty years!

I finally got a divorce though and I'm fine now

I hope he has as full a recovery as possible, frostbite is nothing to f.ck with.
