Instinctively, which at least in my case is often wrong, I can't help thinking that the impacts in American Football must logically be more severe than in our sport? I mean, potentially, at least, its full body force impacting the legs/knees from most possible angles is it not?
I realise that I might be wrong and no doubt an edict of the "other" football might be to tackle high? Surely running backs in particular, though, must routinely undergo much larger impacts to the legs/knees than "soccer" players
Unless they play for Liverpool and get zero protection from referees
Anyhow, I digress... Happy Crimbo Ox lad. You've been an inspiration since your little knock
and in honour of your progress we as a family (me and the two dogs) are dispensing with the usual Christmas crap in favour of oxtail soup for starters, followed up by spit roasted
ox. I've no doubt that later on in the proceedings the chambermaid will be called upon to empty the chamber pot at some point.
Well done son. Keep it up in the new year, cannot fucking wait to see you run out at Anfield again in the Liverpool red
