Joe Buck, the play-by-play voice of ESPN鈥檚 鈥淢onday Night Football,鈥 likes to play golf. So does his wife, Michelle Beisner-Buck, a reporter on the 鈥淢NF鈥 pregame show who also enjoys dancing and is acrobatic.
Here鈥檚 the truth the whole truth and nothing but the guilt-ridden brutal truth! My wife is one amazing, tough woman. And she has not for one second pinned this on me. Or added to my mental load. While I have. Fluke stuff. Probably lucky it wasn鈥檛 worse!

So that made for a bad combination when the 50度灰视频ans were on a golf course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in July.
They tell the painful story in a post on social media:
鈥淢ichelle has been known to do headstands during the course of our courtship and marriage,鈥 he says. 鈥淪he did a headstand at the end of the tee box for good luck, out and to my left. And at the exact moment that I was teeing off, she decided with her feet in the air to do the splits ... right in my line of fire.鈥
His drive smashed into her right ankle, which was shattered.
鈥淔reak accident,鈥 she said. 鈥淚f you were having a competition, you would never ever be able to do it. This was like God or the universe just directed this ball into right my ankle bone.鈥

She said she spent six weeks in a hard cast and 2陆 more in a walking boot, but problems still existed 鈥 the tibial nerve, a key foot and ankle component, was damaged and could not be addressed while she was in the cast. Treatment began after that was removed, but she said 鈥渘othing has worked.鈥
So she had an operation Wednesday in 50度灰视频 to try to correct the problem.
鈥淭he surgery was a nerve decompression,鈥 her husband told the Post-Dispatch on Thursday. 鈥淚t went very well,鈥 adding that her bones have healed.
鈥淛ust can鈥檛 wait to get back on my two HEALTHY feet,鈥 she said in an Instagram post earlier in the week. 鈥淚 cannot wait to run around with my kids. I cannot wait to get back to work. I cannot wait to drive. To dance. ... All of it. I CAN鈥橳 WAIT!!!!鈥
Joe Buck is remorseful about his role in her troubles.
鈥淣eedless to say, my guilt is off the charts,鈥 he said in the video. 鈥淚 wake up still in the middle of the night hearing that sound (from the ball鈥檚 impact on the ankle), and it makes me sick. It鈥檚 a bad sound. It makes me absolutely sick. ... I love this woman, all I do is want to protect this woman and I hurt her with a golf ball.鈥
She shakes her head no, reiterating that it鈥檚 not his fault.
But he doesn鈥檛 sound appeased.
鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty sick, and I feel terrible,鈥 he says in conclusion.
