with Tim and Jeff Sandzick and some other sweet bandos.

Anyway, on this particular occasion we had some new players. One person, Ryan McLendon played nearly a whole game with us. But at one point he was sprinting full speed with the ball. He and I also had been very competitive sprinters and ran many races in the 200 and 100 meter our freshmen year and so I wasnt about to let him blow me out and get a touch down.

So I grabbed his shirt and spun him around a little too hard. Spun him around so hard that I lifted him off the ground and let go.

It all happened in an instant, but he was hurt badly. He landed on his elbow and was in serious pain. We called an ambulence and didnt get in too much trouble for jumping over the fence to all play football. I guess they thought it was too much effort to get everyone in trouble.

The cops and ambulence didnt really focus on interogating me at all or anything.

I still feel really bad about it, but boys play ruff, and skinny people should not play full contact football.

But Ryan, definitely hated me after that. Rani (my girlfriend) was there with us and Ryan thought I did that just because he was her Ex BF. People dont think like that when playing a game. I was competitive with him but I would never intentionally hurt someone physically.

The other sad thing about that day and the consequences of it was the fact that he had a bone chipped in addition to his injuries and he had to get surgery on his arm.

Ryan will forever have a scar on his arm because of something that I did and could have prevented had I tackled him differently. Its pretty crazy stuff!
