    The saddest part of this story of course, is it's dire implications in regards to my Fantasy Football team, of which Julio is a part.

    Broke screw in his foot.

    Julio Jones - WR - Falcons

    A Falcons source tells the National Football Post's Jason Cole that Julio Jones (foot) "broke the screw that was put in his foot in his 2011 surgery."

    We're not doctors, but it can't be good news that Jones' injury is (reportedly) related to the foot operation that clouded his pre-draft status in 2011. It would complicate any further surgery, and have the makings of a chronic issue. Jones is receiving a second opinion on Wednesday, where hopefully we'll learn more. Nothing will be for certain until/if Jones lands on injured reserve, but things are not looking good.

    I had the same operation on my foot to put the screw in about 20 years ago (wow, had to think on that - time flys) and it's been good. I'm surprised in failed and hope it can be redone. Thinking about the actual failure is scary but it's probably not as bad as I picture. I'm thinking of a screw failing and pulling out of a piece of wood.

    The NBA Bball player Zadrunus Ilgauskas has numerous foot problems and surgeries before finally going on a pretty injury free run at the end of his career so it is possible to recover and be productive. I'm sure many more details will come out in the days/weeks ahead.

    As for ATL in the short term, forget it. Even with him they sucked. Betting wise? Regardless of this news I'm personally very skeptical of them and now even more so. Not even so much up or down, just unpredictable. "Bi-Polar" teams are the worst to bet on. I'm pretty much through with ATL this year.
