Jesus dude, we're lucky we have you here today!  I've only been in one bad accident, but NOTHING, as serious as that.  That was also in high school.  I was knocked out for a brief minute or two.  Took 14 stiches above my right eye, another 20 in my knee. but the worst pain thru that whole ordeal was the rug burns on my left side, shoulder-hip-thigh. 

I'm sure we got something wrong upstairs....hell we're Bengal fans for crying out loud! That oughta be enough proof in itself!  



Sorry.....kind of derailed the thread.   There's a reason Krumrie has always been one of my favorite Bengals of all time.  I still remember feel sickened when broke his leg.  I honestly think if he wouldn't have gone down in that Super Bowl, we would have won that game.  I'm glad he recognized something going on upstairs and that he's got a kick ass wife who's helped him every step of the way.  I didn't realize he coached as long as he did through out the league. 

Ain't that the truth!
Losing him was a huge blow in XXIII, with Boomer's bum shoulder, we needed all cylinders firing on defense.  The thing that amazed me about all of that was the fact that he would not leave the locker room until the game was over to go to the hospital.  They set his leg in the trainer's room, and he sat there in pain until the game was over.  We sure could use a Krumrie right now.  Kudos to his wife, that's a strong lady.
