During Saturday's flag football game, one of the players got hurt. According to The Jet Press:

... there was an unfortunate incident where a player jumped to catch a pass, came down and landed quite awkwardly. So awkwardly, in fact, that he broke his leg fairly severely.

That is when Santonio came in. He can down to the end of the field where the player was hurt, and let the player know that he was going to take care of ALL OF HIS EXPENSES. His medical care, rehab, and whatever else he needs, Tone agreed to foot the bill for all of it....

How about that for “ToneTime”? It was alive and well, and living on Roosevelt Island...
