Injury: Why Real Sport Is For Chumps

“Hey, where’s Serrels today?” Glad you asked. Yesterday he discovered he is most definitely not Tony Hawk and he’s recovering today. We’re lucky his arm didn’t snap clean off. But real world injuries happen when it’s been so long since a spanking new skating game hit the shelves. So in the spirit of praising the virtual… what’s your greatest injury that proves why the couch is better than the real world? Or have your couch injuries trumped them all?

I used to play rep basketball, and I fractured a few bones over the years. Legs. Hands. And plenty of bruising. Never had that sort of trouble playing the hell out of NBA Street and Homecourt (my fave b’ball titles… dig the arcade fun more than the sims… and NBA Jam goes without saying) no matter how many times I got shoved on my butt or shattered glass backboards all over myself.

What’s your real world sport scene / death trap activity of choice? What’s the worst you’ve done to yourself? Do you keep going back for more or have you sworn an oath of loyalty to your couch?
