We ain't playin tennis!

...to quote a quite humorous comment that was made by one of our more physical and animated players during a late season game. He had just layed a major (but clean) hit on one of the opposing team's players, who needed some help getting up and off the field. I recall this as I sit here typing with a broken left thumb, seriously sprained (and wrapped) right wrist, and yet another separated rib. I have been thinking a lot about the many facets of the 2005 season, and one thing that I can say for sure, is that it was definitely a season plagued with injuries. We had twisted ankles, sprained ankles, separated shoulders, torn ligaments, turf toe, broken fingers, busted lips (ahem), pulled muscles, concussions, unconsciousness and even a broken femur. All of this happened in spite of being completely covered in pads, wrap and protective gear. No, we ain't playin tennis, we are playin one of the most physically challenging, and brutal sports in the world, and we love it!
