Pretty tough!

yep.  if i got a broken nose i'd be bitching about it and using it as an excuse to get out of stuff for months.

My nose has been broken like 3 times.   After the initial pain,  it's not terrible.   However, I sure as he'll wouldn't want to be in the position to help someone elbow me in already broken nose.   Anyone who doesn't think playing with  broken nose is pretty tuff is an idiot.

I bet it "affects" his shooting. Perfect excuse.

Effects?   I never know which one to use.

Effects is a noun (e.g the effects of will being on the court is more face palming)
Affects is a verb (e.g Will affects the play of everyone around him into playing harder, so he won't have as many opportunities to touch the ball)

Dude,  I've been told a million times how/when to use them.   It just won't take.

I always think of "special effects", oh ok that one is the noun

Yeah,  that's actually a good way to think about it.   Thanks brother.   

yeah, ERI good tip..... you should be a special methods teacher or something   

And back on topic,......  Sprads is way too tough for a stinkin' mask

HR DOESNT WEAR THE MASK SO IT WONT ALERT THE OPPOSITION TO HIS INJURY

Very Stephen Bardo to go with this as the talking point instead of the very obvious which is those masks have to fit your face and the trainers don't have one for each player just sitting around.

when i was 11 i broke my nose playing baseball. while crying right after it happened, my father told me to stop feeling sorry for myself. i wonder if Shannon will do the same.

In post-game, oscar confirmed what we all knew--Will broke his nose. What effect will this have on Will?

Will it make him stronger? Weaker? Will it trigger empathy from Shannon? Will Frank send him a get-well card? Will the babes consider his nose as his sexiest component?

 

[Powercat Posse]

If it was Halloween, he could find a blonde wig and go as a young Owen Wilson

[Gooch]

I hope he will have a protective mask that looks like the K-State mask.

[treysolid]

maybe he'll have an owen wilson nose

Guys, playing a semi-contact sport with a broken nose isn't really that big a deal.  It just isn't, and you'll never convince me otherwise.  I would have expected any basketball player to do the same.

When I was 16, I crowded the plate on an 0-2 count and prepared for a curve ball (I had faced the pitcher before). I leaned into the pitch, ready to protect the plate. Waiting for the curve to break... waiting for the curve to break... BANG!!! rough ridin' fastball straight to the face (broken nose). Blood everywhere, kids crying from the scene, rushed to the hospital, etc.

My first practice back after the surgery, my coach threw his first 20 pitches straight at me, it was his philosophy for me to not be scared of being hit again. I guess it kinda worked. So what i'm getting at is, we either throw 20 straight elbows at Will's face for him to get over it or we throw 20 basketballs at his face for him to get over it. It's your call guys.

This is by far my favorite Will Spradling thread.

It isn't a semi-contact sport, it's a contact sport. That being said, the expectation should have been to play unless the nose was shattered which it clearly wasn't

It isn't a semi-contact sport, it's a contact sport.

Football and hockey are collision sports. There is contact on every single play for nearly every single second of a basketball game, not really sure what's "semi" about that.

Regardless of the contactness of basketball, if you get hit in the nose when it's broken it will hurt really bad...but, it's not like you're going to make it worse. If the injury can't get worse from you playing, then you damn well better play. Will playing in the second half last night should have been the expectation, not the exception.

Anyone saying that Will should play is not very EMAW.

Will, are you sure you can play with that mask on?

Okay, I suppose.  I guess I should have said semi-collision.

No, you were right 8manpick. It's semi-contact.

Oh that settles it then, _33 has spoken. 

I like your videos BTW, it would be great to meet you someday!
