He told me that he was a senior and he's always kicked his own football. The coach was stunned and then angry I wouldn't let him use his ball (which, BTW, was over-inflated and about 5 years past its prime) although I offered to check it in as a game ball if we could remove some air from it.

The ball popped when a needle was put into it.
Well, did the boy start sobbing after it popped?

It looked like his puppy died. I had to walk away so I could crack up in private.
