Clinton Portis' answer to us

Well, I remember when I criticized him for going to the Pro-Bowl instead of getting surgery a lot of people said the surgery COULD end his career.

Do we have some doctors in the house?

I'm sure Coles consulted all the physicians he could and made a decision based on the medical advice he heard.

Does it make sense to anyone that he would turn down routine surgery that would help improve his toe? The key here being routine, which the surgery reportedly wasn't, and Daseal is right there was a chance he wouldn't be able to play again so that's a chance he didn't want to take. Go figure.
