At Monday nights Practice while running in a wet muddy area i slipped and had pain at the top of my knee. After getting home i had a lot of swelling and some pain in the Knee area. I went to the Dr Yesterday and was sent to a orthopedic specialist. It was determined that i have a Torn Quad Muscle at the top of my knee. I have been told to stay off it and keep it elevated. I will be fine, But my dream of running on the the football field one more time is over! I hate it, I have worked really hard putting this together with 2 goals, playing football and raising money for our charity. This is a GREAT thing we are doing, I have had a lot of fun and would not trade the experience our friendships for nothing in this world. I will still run the program but will need A TON OF HELP THIS WEEK! I know that i have given Fuel to our fire and police chiefs and their suck ups, I will catch holy hell for getting hurt, and hear a lot of I told you so. But I am not worried about that, I have seen this team grow and i know the good we will do for Cancer Research. It has been worth it to me and that is all that counts in my life! I will see you on the field soon, But in a coaching uniform lol!! Todd Stone.

Thanks Sarah. Its ok, I will be fine. i just wanted to play football. But the team will do fine and it gives me more time to run things.
Todd,
I think i can speak for this team in saying thank you and i am really sorry about your injury but the good news is there is always next year for that dream. Thanks for all you have done i hope we represent you and roanoke well this weekend.
Todd sorry to hear that but I feel your pain. My knees are back to about 80 percent right now and if you will still have me I plan on playing Saturday but I will only be able to practice Thursday due to work this week. I will be at practice not sure how much I will practice in order to save the legs for at least one game. LOL. And I would also like to thank you so much for all you have done and all your hard work and if you need anything let me know.
Dag Todd, sorry to hear the bad news I know you wanted to play so badly.. I’ll try to put one in the endzone for u

Todd,
The hell with them if they give you a hard time about getting injured. It happens and we never know when it will happen. If it were a big deal about getting hurt ask them about Fichtner. He got hurt on the job and look where that got him.
You guys know the risk, much like I do when I play sports, go to work, or work around the house.
I am sick of hearing about “those guys are stupid for playing football”. Do those guys who say things like that live in a freakin bubble?
I hate it that you injured yourself…just get better and get ready for the next game when you are healthy.
One more thing Grace…As for the other players giving you a hard time…I can’t help you with that.
Gosh dang it. Man that really sux. If one guy on the team deserves to play its you man. But we wouldnt be able to either if wasnt for all your efforts. Its amazing how this team has been put together and we owe it all to you. Keep your head up brah. And the heck with the critics. We know why we do this and its for not money or fame.
Todd I am sorry to here about your injury, that sucks. If there is anything at all I can do to help out please let me know. You and Chris have got something going that a lot of good will come out of.
Ray call Shane Duncan Or Bennington they might help RT Flora Doug Hurd also
You better put 2 in for me lol, I am doing good. thanks J
Thanks Brad, It pains me to say anything nice about you! (lol) But i have had a blast, I love football and wanted to play again, and i might just do that. But being a part of this has been very special to me and alot of fun. I have got to meet a lot of good people and make friendships that with out football would not have been Possible! We are going to help some very special people fighting cancer. Again its all been worth it. Brad thanks for all your help. Todd
