The ratio of eating absolute poo vs. landing a tough trick for even the best skaters is like 5:1.  You will get injured skating if you're at all serious about it.

I skated when I was a teenager and fractured and then sprained my right ankle about a year apart.  Rolled the poo out of it both times bailing on a trick off a ledge.  That bastard still swells up and aches from time to time.  If you compare my right ankle to my left it's noticeably bigger.

...25 years ago I got hit in the sack with a seriously errant tee shot. By the time it caught my eye it looked like a speeding meteor crashing to earth, too late to get out of the way... Every year after that the traumatized testicle fills with a little fluid, very slowly enlarging. Not sure when I'm (67) going to get it fixed... kinda like the play and attention I get from the ladies...

A feeling I can understand...

Back in college, I took a kick to the face from a badass black belt in taekwondo class. I distinctly remember seeing his foot coming toward my nose and thinking to myself "I'm about to get kicked in the face".

Might have been smarter to actually do something about it, but nope 😬

Both MCLs torn. Torn meniscus in right knee. Multiple broken ribs. Severe high ankle sprain in right ankle. Torn rotator cuff in right shoulder. Concussion.

The ankle was in basketball. The concussion came from mountain biking. Everything else came from snowboarding. Ironically I never had a significant injury playing football.

A switch backside flip down a 12 stair? Dude, you were fuggin insane! The fact you were even trying anything switch down a 12 stair is crazy enough. That's pro level right there lol

Well to be fair I never landed it…and I had no business trying it off a set that big. But when you’re in your early 20’s you gotta send it. Just wear a helmet kids🤙🏼

Tore a tendon in my middle finger in college playing basketball. That was brutally painful but the road to recovery wasn’t so bad. BUT

I snapped my Achilles playing basketball in a YMCA league at 26. That was horrific. The pain was intense and making a full recovery took over nine months. I still have a wicked scar and while I can run around, hike, play sports now etc I will still sometimes get an aching feeling just above my heel if I’ve been working out or running extensively. 
 

ACL injuries are no doubt terrible but snapping your Achilles results in losing pretty much all of the burst and spring you had in that leg. It just doesn’t ever work like it used to after the fact. 

Yeah I had achilles tendonitis when I was 25 and close to a rupture. Even just tendonitis is a bitch to recover from. I couldn't walk for a week and the doc said of I pushed it that a tear was Likely. Fug those injuries.

Learning how to fall is as important as learning to commit and stick tricks🤣 my ankles are such a mess I switched to bmx in my 30’s. Now my shins are destroyed from peddle bite.

Not really an injury, but my knees are shot.  I was a catcher throughout my childhood, and then an umpire at the high school and college level until a career change put the kibosh on that in 89.  My knees started acting up in my early 20's, and have gradually gotten worse.  It's not constant, but there are days......

My wife asks me when I am going to have them looked at, and my answer is probably if there is an autopsy.  As I told her, I have a pretty good idea what the solution is, and I don't want to hear it.

Ronald Curry was what made me appreciate the seriousness of that injury. He was the #1 football and basketball recruit in the country. Won the McD AA slam dunk competition. Tore his Achilles and I can't recall him ever dunking a basketball at UNC and while he was still a good he was a shadow of his former self athletically. He still went on to play several years in the NFL but this is the guy who made Michael Vick an afterthought when they were both HS players in the VA tidewater area. It was ultimately Achilles injuries that ended his NFL career. I think he ended up rupturing his Achilles three times.

Achilles injuries are nasty.  I don't think they ever fully recover. 

A guy I used to umpire baseball with was also an accomplished NCAA basketball official.  Then one night during a game he ruptured his Achilles, and that was pretty much then end of his on court/on field career.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
