LMAO At the time I was shot clock operator. I'd have to say the odds of an injury like mine happening is like 1:1000.

For at least a week, whenever I'm up on my feet, I have to be in a knee immobilizer. Went to the ER via ambulance, X-rays were done, no signs of damage to bone, however unsure about ligament or tendon damage. Am gonna call the orthopedic tomorrow to schedule a follow-up.

mentioned it here before but saw a ref get tagged in the jewelish area by a long pass. he recovered after a minute or two.

Well, that's sureashell gotta be an L&I claim.

I'd consider a private law suit to cover your pain and suffering too. Notify the SPCSCO(Society to Prevent Cruelty to Shot Clock Operators) immediately also. They have branches in all major cities.

Whatever you do, don't let them get away with such a dastardly deed. We're all behind you.

And be sure to let us know if there's anything we can do, like maybe fire-bomb the gym so that something like this never happens again.

When I come home tired and sore my wife has no sympathy for me at all.

My mind is willing, but the flesh gets weaker and weaker!

But like you, I am aware of "the eagles" medical history......

Chasing the ball is the scorer's job.
