BillyVance 34 #1 April 24, 2007 Colorado State University was having their spring game and this happened. Poor kid will be okay, but the video was sickening. I surely hope the NCAA will do the right thing and ban kids under a certain age from being on the sidelines. They're absolutely no match for a 200+ lb fully grown football player coming at them full speed. http://sports.aol.com/ncaafb/story/_a/boy-recovering-after-run-in-on-sidelines/20070424091709990001#video"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 6 #5 April 24, 2007 "It was kind of scary 'cause I got bonked by the football," the boy said, hugging his own football. "It kind of hurted." If ya go through the stills, looks like the receiver TRIED to take as much of it himself as he could...

yardhippie 0 #14 April 24, 2007 Saw that on CNN at lunch. That kids parent should be kicked upside the head for letting their kid even be near the potential path of that freight train. Do they let him play in the street also? Im with Linder, and Brains, submit that shit for Funniest Home Videos!

But now I'm a dad to a 1 year old and the collision made me cringe. But yeah, that dad oughta be kicked upside his head.

kelel01 1 #17 April 24, 2007 Aw, I actually feel really sad for the football player. He must've felt so guilty about mowing that kid over, even though it totally wasn't his fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharimcm 0 #18 April 24, 2007 The video was actually shown on our local news last night. I just wish I could have seen the player's face as he dove in to the kid... Poor guy... The news also said they plan on changing the rules and to no longer allow family members on the field while the ball is in play...

steveorino 7 #22 April 24, 2007 I can't watch the video at work. I only saw a brief video while I was working out this morning. I did see a paramedic (trainer?) put on rubber gloves. Was the kid cut? I don't see how he could have not been from the velocity of the blow. The FB player was laying on his back for a while as well. Was he hurt or upset for hitting the kid? NEVERMIND! Someone sent me the text from the article. I hope the kid continues to do well. He'll have a story to tell. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The kid sustained an immediately visible cut on his forehead (just before the blood started to flow). Looks like something on the facemask caused the cut. Since the football player held the kid up immediately after the collision, I don't think he was hurt, probably just stunned at what just happened."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The father and his daughter were just a few feet away. The girl looked big enough to know better than to stray away from her dad though, but the little kid should have been at home with a baby sitter or on a very short leash with daddy.
