So I broke my brother in law's finger in 3 places yesterday

[naednek]

Last night we had the in-laws over for an early mother's day gathering.  My brother in law and his son brought over the football, and we throwing it around after dinner. 

I threw the ball to my Brother in Law and it jammed his finger.   We ended up playing another 30 mins thinking it was just dislocated finger.  When we got inside we checked the damage and his finger was really swollen.  We still figured it was dislocated, he even popped it back in place.  This morning he went to the doctor, and turns out I broke his finger in 3 places. 

I think I need to try out for the niners.  I always had a good arm and decent aim.

Remind me not to shake your hand.

Your brother in law sounds kinda feeble.

[naednek]

hardly.  He played through it for over an half our.  Afterwards we were moving furniture.  At one point we had to move a bed, and that was the last straw for him, you could see the pain shoot to his head. 

Brittle might be word you're looking for

Hmm... there isn't anyplace I can insert a joke asking if you punched him in the nose.

I broke my pinkie playing basketball once, and played for about half an hour before finally admitting something was wrong. It hurt, but not so bad that I knew it wasn't anything worse than a jam. It wasn't until it still felt bad after those 30 minutes that I stopped.
Which is to say, I'm not very tough about pain.

In 8th grade I convinced my parents to play football for school.  Deal was I could play but if I got hurt then it was over.

Anyway one day the coach had me tryout for QB and overall didn't do too bad.  He had said I did really good.  Next day before practice we were throwing balls around waiting for people to finish getting pads on etc.  Guy threw me a ball real low and I reached down to catch it.  Felt like I jammed my pinky on it and hurt like hell.  Tried to shake it off and picked up the ball to throw it back.  The ball felt like it had a huge bulging lump in it.  Look over at my left hand and my pinky was completely broke in half jetting outward.  Didn't break the skin and without even thinking I popped it back in place.

Holy shit did that hurt.  Went to coach and explained.  Mom camed picked me up and took me to the ER.  And with that my hall of fame football career came to an end before it even got started.

Psssht. I played 18 holes of golf and a game of pickup basketball the day after breaking one of the middle toes (you know, the ones you need to be able to pivot, plant, shoot, jump, etc). It was pretty painful.

Didn't this give your team an unfair advantage?

My younger brother and I were playing street football and he ran into a parked car while looking over his shoulder for the bomb I was tossing.  He turned around, started jogging towards where the ball was, acting normally for about 30 seconds, then he doubled over in pain.  He had broken 3 fingers and his wrist.  I watched it swell up as we started icing it down and calling the appropriate medical people.  Ouch.

You had me laughing out loud! Nice one.

When I first read the topic line I thought of the joke "I broke my arm in three places ... once at the top of the hill, once in the middle and once at the bottom."

Sorry to hear your bro's pain, man. That's gotta suck. :wince:
