My source just informed me through some real sick insider information that Wes Welker will be out for the 2010-2011 NFL season with a torn rotator cuff. His contact has leaked that Wes has been to Mass General Hospital within the past few weeks and saw the same doctor that treated Laurence Maroney for his torn labrum
Wes will not see the field in the upcoming season, let the Julian Edleman era begin
This is such good insider information that Yahoo sports, Barstoolsports.com, ESPN, John Clayton even Peter King don’t know this yet. Bigrips.wordpress.com might finally get the street cred it deserves.
P.S. I also called the Sports Hub and WEEI to inform them, so when they break the news and do not give me the credit, I’ll start a smear campaign. Even if it is untrue, what do I have to lose…maybe 7 of my fifteen readers?
Let’s see how long it takes for this to become the headline on ESPN.com

Seth, get ready to be mentioned by ESPN and every other sports media outlet. You’re going to be big after this turns out to be true.
Nice work Seth!
This is going to be huuuuuuuge
Just be prepared to answer why a rotator cuff will keep him out for the season and not his knee .. rotator cuffs heal pretty quickly dont they?
they could, but i am sure when he has the surgery, it’s gonna to set him back with the knee recovery. will he be able to rehab his knee with his arm in a sling.
my source was connected to you..i posted one hour after you did not through seeing your site. I have sourced you on my site as well…you are first i am second!
I had rotator cuff surgery in the past year and it took one year to recover. I am 55 years old. Phil Kessel of the Toronto Maple Leafs had the same surgery and from what I see has not fully recevoered yet. I would be surprised if Wes plays next year. I hope he does.
[…] broke today from blogger Seth Davis that Wes Welker was being treated at a hospital this week for a torn rotator cuff. Davis said […]
I’m pretty sure his knee was going to keep him out anyway…at least until very late in the season. Got info though. Should I check out the Mass General records, and by doing so attempt to get fired?
And by “got” info, I meant “good” info on your part.
Good get if it was done above board. I say that because if this info came to you by way of someone breaking the HIPPA laws–all medical records are private unless the patient acknowledges that it will be shared publicly–& disclosing Welker’s medical history to you(or someone you know), it doesn’t help sports bloggers in the future, rather it will hurt them.
[…] the story was first reported on a site called Big Rips. The blog’s author cited a source which proclaimed Welker not only suffered from a torn […]
No love from the Globe, but good mention in the Herald. Nice work Seth. Now you just have to take back the domain name.
