re: Gary Patterson makes some pretty good points IMO

Turf toe is a sprain to the ligaments around the big toe joint, which works primarily as a hinge to permit up and down motion. Just behind the big toe joint in the ball of your foot are two pea-shaped bones embedded in the tendon that moves your big toe. Called sesamoids, these bones work like a pulley for the tendon and provide leverage when you walk or run. They also absorb the weight that presses on the ball of the foot.

Maybe you made a stupid comment on purpose. But I just thought I should fill you in.

I was also a strength and conditioning coach who worked with injured athletes often.
