This was pretty much what I looked like last night, minus the helmet and bike. The YMCA basketball league has taken me out...my first ever knee injury happened last night. Thought it might feel better in the morning...not so much. Awoke to find my left knee swollen to about double it's normal size. Fun times. Trying to see the doctor tomorrow.
As a related aside...we had our closest game yet...a one point loss...perhaps there is a correlation between team success and my being on the bench.
What you failed to mention is that, just like the kid in the picture, you failed to wear your knee pads. I would highly recommend the kind that volleyball players wear, that way you can dive all over the floor going after loose balls (like Bill Laimbeer, circa late 1980s) and really create an impression on your teammates. And you can offset the lack of "coolness" factor when wearing the pads by getting one of those arm sleeves that Allen Iverson wears. At that point, you will be a force to be reckoned with.
