We have all sent text messages that we later regret. During a recent appearance on the ‘Green Light with Chris Long’ podcast, Washington quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick revealed the worst text message he’s ever sent. The best part of this story, however, is that the text message went to Alex Smith, who he is replacing as Washington’s quarterback. After he heard that Smith suffered a horrific injury, Fitzpatrick reached out to him to send some words of encouragement. Unfortunately, the delivery of the message fell a bit short, to say the least.

“The single worst text I’ve ever sent out went to Alex,” Fitzpatrick said. “I said ‘Hey, Alex. Just wanted to let you know they’ll fix you up and you’ll feel as good as new. I’m out here and I don’t feel any pain from my injury three years later.’ And I sent it and felt good about it, and he then said ‘Well, mine might be a little more complicated.’ 17 surgeries later and the story of what he had to overcome, I felt like the biggest a**hole ever.”
