My first football game was that evening.
And I had turned into someone that was as dumb as a stump.
I could now barely put two words together at the interviews prior to
the game in the locker room.
I suited up and trotted out to the field.
Somehow I knew what to do and what my role in the game was.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Over and over I was pounded by the opposing team. Well
not only me but my whole team. I didn't think about it when I put in
the preferences that I wanted to be a football player on a winning
team.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Damn my head hurts.
Soon it was nearing the end of the game and we had no way of ever
winning but the other team seemed to take great joy in pounding us to
pulp.
Bam! Bam! Crack! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! My knee.
I was rolling on the ground in great pain.
The trainers and medics came out and hauled me off and I was brought
to where I was examined. My knee was a mess and there was no way I
would ever play again. My short lived football career. I had a concussion and my brain was relieved of pressure. I think it made me
dumber.
I was in the hospital for a week and laid up for about 6 months. Going
to pot.
Now I was a dumb ex jock with no skills.
