I got nailed tonight

[Rich]

Working R, visiting team in shotgun.

Snap is horrible, bounces right at me. I sidestep the snap and the ball is heading behind me. I hesitate because I know I need to get back on the ball and also because 2 300-pound lineman are coming right for me.

In the end, I decided that the ball is just going to have to sort itself out -- I have wings coming back. But it was too late, a lineman falls forward and his helmet smashes into my left shin.

I worked on adrenaline the rest of the game, but I can barely walk now.

Let's hear good stories about getting hit. After a few (if we get any), I'll tell about the time my umpire led the conference in forced fumbles.
