    I remember taking only three shots in a three-round amateur bout but all three on the forehead. I had a headache that lasted about five days. Otherwise, though, I felt fine. Feeling “fine” means nothing.

    Since he fell and couldn’t get up, I assume he pressed the button on the Medi-Alert pendant he wears under his jersey. Their response time is pretty impressive.

    Rick(ey) in P1, praying Uncle Tonoose didn’t show up.

    P2, Rick(ey) is feeling pretty good after taking a shot in the head.

    P3, Well, at least he knows where he got hit. Good enough! Get back in there and block! We’ve got a game to win. Second in The Valley is on the line!

    So the horrible uncle is going to get his way and do an “I told you so”? And Rick is going to have to stop playing football (which he likes), and start singing (which he doesn’t care about)? I hope not.

    During this injury timeout, the PA slips this 8 track tune in to entertain the ants, fans, Fist Pump Family, etc..

    Not only are his eyes cloudy, there are veritable raindrops falling from his head.

    fear not, Gil’s foresight in making baselines (not baseball style) before the season will show Rics no more addled than when we started

    P2: Tell me what you’re feeling. I’m feeling pressured by my douchebag uncle to quit football and pursue a singing career.

    Perhaps this story is leading to a diagnosis of CTE, which is discovered after Ricky goes berserk and takes care of uncle no-job once and for all.

    Sounds like he’s channeling his inner Meghan Trainor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDRORgoZxZU
