Bill from NYC Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 John, if you're interested I blew out my ankle before my senior season in high school football, I'm about to turn 25 next month. I played on a program that is consistently ranked in the Top 25 in the country. It's tough, but he'll get through it. I remember my mom took it harder than anyone, I think she thought I was dying. I could have gotten depressed about it but my dad made sure I kept active on other things and I think that really helped. If you or your son needs someone to talk through, let me know. I just wanted to chime in here and say how that was a completely cool thing to say/offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that because of this thread, there's going to be hundreds of Bills fans who now suspect that every gay person is a spy/intelligence operative.

Well I hope they'd be smart enough to realize that not every gay person is from the CIA and not everyone from the CIA is gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 John, if you're interested I blew out my ankle before my senior season in high school football, I'm about to turn 25 next month. I played on a program that is consistently ranked in the Top 25 in the country. It's tough, but he'll get through it. I remember my mom took it harder than anyone, I think she thought I was dying. I could have gotten depressed about it but my dad made sure I kept active on other things and I think that really helped. If you or your son needs someone to talk through, let me know. Jasper, Thanks for the comments....and it does help to be able to talk to some one who has gone through this...... Right now we are in the "hammer waiting to fall mode" until someone says he is not physically going to be able to play he is still in get ready for season mode. I got a text from him just a few minutes ago since I am at work...he wanted to go bench with his team. I didn't think it was a good idea until we had a final determination on what was going to happen....as it is I am getting calls from his coaches trying to figure out if he is going to be able to play. I just didn't want him to deal with those questions right now....shoot for all I know some underclassman might try to finish that knee off for a chance at playing time... Just told him to wait for me and we would lift together at our membership gym like the good old days........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Of course a sad day for your son is also a sad day for you. What dad out there isn't upset when his son blows out his knee and his playing days are over? Seeing loved ones in pain also causes pain for you, unless you don't have a soul. I know I've come late to the party but I must chime in...First John, sorry about your son, hopefully it will work out and he can continue to play. Secondly, ans you are right on...not everyone can relate to John in this thread, but I sure can, because of what I'm going through with my son, he plays basketball. He's had more than his share up twists and turns along the way, good grades, bad grades and other typical teenage things...He's had varying degrees of projections from people about his college prospects D3 to D1... Hearing these kinds of things about your kid from coaches or scouts is something unlike anything else...if he got injured or failed to make it I would feel as crushed as he would, is that living vicariously through him? I want him to achieve what is possible for him. My son knows he won't be playing in the NBA, he loves the game, he has a passion for the game...that's why he wants to play in college...to him right now, the education part is a pain in the ass, he doesn't excel or fail, he gets by. He doesn't like school, never has. Am I happy with that? Hell no, but that's who he is, that's his decision. I don't ride him about his grades, I've found that to be counter productive. If he screws it up that's on him. Maybe that makes me a bad dad too. John's son had a dream, he wanted to help him realize the dream, that is not living vicariously through him...he shares his son's victories and defeats...he's a proud Dad that obviously loves his kids...it's as simple as that. I completely understand and wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
