Photo of the Day: Football Can be Painful

By: Laurie | April 21st, 2008

This is AS Roma’s Francesco Totti, after recent knee surgery, as he shakes hands with Rome political candidate Francesco Rutelli.

I guess with enough post-surgery painkillers, even manly political handshakes don’t hurt.

Another photo with ~~even more skin~~ a post-surgery pic is here.

(Although I, myself, averted my eyes.)

i imagine totti rocks a pricy watch. i wouldn't leave it just anywhere.

Is it not striking that he has his watch on? I mean the guy is practically naked, and he still has his wristwatch on. They probably didn't even take it off for surgery.

i can't say these photos disturb me in the least. certainly much less than those two recent broken leg videos. keep in mind i'm both a roma fan and someone who's torn an acl.

the underwear does seem potentially scandalous though. maybe he needed to feel sexy post surgery.

Well, Maldini and Nesta have homes in Miami (don't ask me how I know that), so they both rehabed down there--probably a bit nicer than Milan in the winter...

I thought these guys generally came to the States for a surgery such as this. Wasn't that the case with Nesta or Maldini a few years back?
