Broke my collar bone in Disney World. Too bad Gordon wasn’t around, I would be the mouse if so.

Collar bone. Car accident. Not sure if the statute of limitations has run out on that one yet.

Thumb - tackling the guy with the ball.
Arm - tackling the car that was in my way.
Ribs - giant sneeze.
Many other accidents that resulted in injury but no broken bones.

Never said I was the smartest guy in the room.

I've broken 3 out of 4 limbs and torn several things but the torn groin was the worst for me also. It took me so long to recover, tweaked it almost every time I played basketball or football for more than a year afterwards.

What's the gist of this game?

Basically, its tackle the guy with the football who tries to outrun, dodge, evade or flat run over everyone else for as long as he can. Usually about 10+ kids played at a time. See who the toughest SOB was.

If you finally got tackled, you picked who gets the ball next. They either purposely fumbled or showed what they have.

Also known as smear the queer.
