I have unfortunately collected many injuries through my life, playing football and boxing through college, crashing motorcycles, having bad luck and just being plain reckless as a youth. By the age of 19 I had already had skull, neck, and back fractures. At 24 I broke a wrist and collarbone, at 30 I broke my ankle. Those are injuries comparable to what happens to a lot of NFL players. I am tougher than most people, but could not imagine trying to play tackle football with the injuries some fans expect players to play through.

I am guessing some of the adults I have seen scream or cry after being stung by a hornet are hiding behind a keyboard wanting CT to play in an NFL game with broken ribs, when if they had his pain they would not even get out of bed.

Sorry, end of rant.
