FACT 19: I've dislocated my shoulder in a basketball game, popped it back in on the sideline, and returned to the game at the next whistle.
FACT 20: Similarly, I've dislocated two fingers getting fouled on a drive to the hoop, reset them myself (didn't tell my coach) and took my two free-throws....and hit them both :-P
FACT 21: I was a very, very good wrestler in High School, received a college scholarship, blew out my knee in the Senior State Tournament, and subsequently lost that scholarship because of injury.
FACT 22: As much as I like wrestling, I strongly recommend that young kids avoid the sport because it ravages the body - especially at the elite level, where your body mass fluctuates by >10% in a week while you struggle to make a specific tournament weight.
FACT 23: I wrestled at 155 lbs during the normal season, dropped down to 145 as the season was finishing, dropped further to 137 during tournament season and just barely made weight at 132 lbs for state tournaments.
FACT 24: The longest commute I've ever had to endure (given "normal" traffic conditions) was a 2.5 - 3 hour, 17 mile journey around the Washington DC beltway on a Friday night.
FACT 25: I used to be really big into car stereo systems, and competed in SPL (Sound Pressure Level) drags. At the time, I had a system pumping out 20k watts and took second place twice.
FACT 26: I've witnessed an SUV with a monster system blow out it's rear windshield and third row windows during one of these competitions....Can't tell you how awesome it was!
FACT 27: Rockford Fosgate and Cerwin Vega are my preferred audio vendors. Don't believe the hype, JL and MTX are junk!
