Growing up in a place like Odessa makes it tough to not play football. Hell, we probably got concussions playing tackle football out in the yard. At least once I ran full speed into a cement block fence trying to catch a pass and knocked myself out.
And at least three times in HS, I can remember hits that 100% caused a concussion with hundreds of hits on top of that which may have caused a concussion. You just gutted it up and stayed on the field. And here are times now that I believe that I'm paying for that.
Did I love the game? You bet. And the harder the hit, the better.
I’ve got a scar on my elbow from the annual Tom Brown/Clark Football game
