Has anyone seen this yet? Arian Foster tweeted a pic of his MRI. I hope for his sake that that nine digit number above his birthday isn't his SS #, otherwise he just gave identity thieves a key to his millions.

SS #s are 10 digits, but yeah, that wasn't smart.

Im pretty sure it is, Colin Cowherd posted this earlier saying how he was much more interest in the info on the xray than the xray.

SS numbers were originated by state of application. There are numbers that start with 0, but New Mexico (where he was born) is not one of them. It is highly unlikely it is his SSN, just a hospital ID that happened to be 9 numbers.

He's an idiot for putting his injury x-ray out there for everybody to see. I'm sure that the teams on Houston's schedule appreciate it though. Herm Edwards and Tedy Bruschi went off on him yesterday.

From everything I have seen on this story, this seems to be the case

Maybe its my detest for BSPN but who cares what Herm/Tedy says. Herm couldn't hack it in the NFL and Tedy is just a guy. Have you ever listened to Herm try and talk about football from analyst spot? Its down right painful.killer_ewok;879022 wrote:Herm Edwards and Tedy Bruschi went off on him yesterday.

I saw this when he tweeted it yesterday and thought nothign of it.
Still don't see why its such a big deal; everyone knew he has hamstring issues.

Mine starts with a 0. I believe its mostly states around the NE that have them start with 0. Would be crazy if that was his SSN number and would show how much more of an idiot he is.hoops23;878983 wrote:Never seen a SSN that started with 0

An opposing team doctor can take a look at the MRI and let his team know exactly what the condition of his injury is. Very useful info.

I dont think its that cut and dry. How many times do you hear about someone going for a second opinion? I think 3 different doctors can look an MRI and see 3 different things.like_that;879103 wrote:An opposing team doctor can take a look at the MRI and let his team know exactly what the condition of his injury is.

They can bring in another doctor to see if he concurs. It's not that hard. I guess you never seen the movie catch me if you can.

I assume you're kidding on using a movie as an example to support your arguement.

If you know the extent of the injury then it's very helpful imo.

Yea I guess it could be, they should go the Hockey route and just call it a lower body injury. It's pretty unavoidable not to get hit in the hammy being a rb and all.like_that;879127 wrote:If you know the extent of the injury then it's very helpful imo.

Exactly why this is a big deal. Pretty sire the Colts DRs can look at this and get a pretty accurate reading on if he will play or not.gerb131;879122 wrote:I dont see the big deal like someone said its been known for awhile he's got hammy problems. Just hope he's back for week 1.

Doesn't the NFL force teams to list a specific injury?
