It was fun while it lasted.
Arian Foster’s tweet of his MRI may just be the last chance ESPN has to make quasi-definitive judgements on a Twitter picture without knowing first-hand knowledge of the situation.
“We are aware that Arian tweeted a picture of his MRI,” the Texans said in a statement. “It’s a violation of team policy to disclose medical information via social media and he is aware of that. We will handle the situation internally.”
Our favorite line of this whole saga came from Greg A. Bedard of the Boston Globe:
“Contemplating what Bill Belichick’s reaction would be if one of his players Tweeted an MRI of his injury,” Bedard wrote: “Spontaneous combustion?”
UPDATE: Here’s Florio’s take on the Foster situation.
