“Losing a pint of blood after being sacked over and over by Thad Gibson”
“Throwing my 3rd INT of the game and being planted into the turf on a crack back block by Homan….wait….who am I”

“Doctor…what is a concussion and why do I have three of them?”
“Coach Carroll’s halftime caning of the offensive line,”
