So now I don't feel like you're a good teammate anymore. All right, so I'm pretty sure I ruptured a disc in my back trying to triple jump yesterday at my son's practice. And that's the story we're trying to get to.

And that's the story we're trying to get to.
Because I didn't even get through the triple jump. And for those that don't know, triple jump is three jumps. You can probably figure that out. The first one is kind of a skip. And then you jump to the next. So you jump, land on the same foot, jump to the next foot, and then into the pit. So I jumped. I just didn't warm up. I was like, yo, I did this in high school.

That's the look at me, Louie situation. Those seventh graders who got me booed. When Miami lost to BYU, we were too fast. I was like, yo, this is the board y'all jump from?

The landing is always the hard part, and I just came down really hard, so much that it shot a pain up my back, and my head kind of did one of these rattle things, and I immediately got a headache, and now I'm pretty sure I need to go to a chiropractor.
