Sports at School?
In college, detailed in a previous post, I had an 'incident' with my First Sergeant where he decided I needed some 'motivational training'...so he took me to his room, made me get into the Forward Leaning Rest (push-up position) and kicked me multiple times.

He broke two ribs and punctured my lung.

After considerable pondering on my own mortality, I went back up to his room and broke his nose. But that didn’t 'solve' my problem...

You see, in a military college, you don’t want to be known as a "rat" so I knew I couldn’t report him -OR- go to the infirmary because if I went to the nurses, they would ask "how" it happened and I would have to break the honor code by lying about it...so here comes the sport part:

I was the Quarterback for my company's intramural football team. We had a game that afternoon...so I faded to pass and saw a guy breaking through the line...this was what I was waiting for: I THREW myself onto his knee so that my ribs, the broken ones, would impact it.

I woke up in the infirmary...two beds over? He was laying there with his nose taped up. Result!

I ended up having to be taped, navel to neck every third day for a month in order to immobilize my torso. BUT, to those that knew the back-story? I was a GOD!
