00:00Because it just came across my desk at the Spew newsroom, and I wanted to let you know.
00:08Of course, injuries happen all throughout NFL training camp.
00:13But when they happen to big time starting quarterbacks, Scotty, we usually take a little
00:18bit more notice of it.
00:20The Chargers just announced that Justin Herbert was diagnosed with an injury to the plantar
00:26fascia in his right foot.
00:30Per the team, doctors have recommended approximately two weeks in a boot, followed by graduated
00:35return-to-play protocol, with the expectation he'll be ready for the start of the regular
00:40season.
00:41All right, Scotty, plantar fascia, two weeks in a boot.
00:43Is he going to play the first game?
00:45Well, I'll tell you one thing, it is the most aggravating, painful, you know, injury.
00:54It drives you nuts.
00:55I mean, it's the weirdest thing.
00:58When you play, it's not that bad.
01:01It's when you stop playing that it gets bad, like when the game's over, right?
01:07So I used to have both feet.
01:09I used to have double plantar fascia, and I'd have literally, when I wasn't playing,
01:15like when I got out of bed or whatever, I could barely walk.
01:18I mean, you're in agony.
01:20You're like walking like you're a hundred-year-old.
01:23I mean, you're literally crippled.
01:25It'll bring you to your knees.
01:26It hurts so bad.
01:27It's like having a piece of steel in your foot.
01:31But when you play, it loosens up.
01:34Like, you can actually play with it, and you're like, oh, it doesn't hurt that bad right now.
01:38So it's like a tongue in your, the muscle under your foot is like a giant dog tongue.
01:45And what happens is, when you play, it rolls out and it loosens, and when you stop playing,
01:51it hardens and tightens back up like a, you feel like you have a piece of steel in your
01:55foot, and you can't, you know, it's unbearable.
01:59It is literally unbearable, and you see guys all the time talking about having plantar
02:04fascia, and it knocks guys on their ass.
02:08It's that simple.
02:09Like, it kills.
02:10It's agony.
02:11It hurts so bad.
02:12The only way I got rid of it, I tried everything.
02:15I mean, I tried everything.
02:16I had cortisone shots.
02:19Some people get them snipped in half, the plantar fascia muscle.
02:24They'll operate on it and cut it in half.
02:26They just snip it in half, and then you don't have it anymore.
02:30That is crazy, if you ask me, to do that.
02:33But the thing that got rid of it for me was rolling nodules, and some people just use
02:37like a tennis ball or a baseball, but I used a nodule roller.
02:42You remember, I used to do entire shows.
02:44I'd sit here for three hours rolling my foot with a nodule just to get rid of the pain.
02:50So listen, to act like this is nothing for Justin Herbert is a lie, because it is the
02:56most aggravating, nauseating, painful, irritant type injury.
03:02It drives you nuts.
03:03You can't get out of bed.
03:04You can't walk like walking in your house.
03:07You walk like you're 100.
03:08It's awful.
