lol. yep. worse day in my MF/EF history, regarding injuries to players, in 1975, our cat sneak attacked one WR from my then brand new to me white jersey , white helmet and pants Eagles. he mangled that thing. im thinking a small dog or puppy got ahold of it before i found it. i still have that dude too, he has tiny teethmark impressiond all over, but mostly on his legs. one foot came off the stand too. i called my buddy in EF, and ask him to paint me a replacement eagle. 2 days later, he had done the WR fig, but he painted it in the then current dark uni, with green helmet. i said "wth" and that player has remained part of that team since then.
the last part of that reminds me of my original CL dark bills. i got them for a quarter in '75. they had a WR missing, and i told the kid i wouldnt buy them without all the players, he said he had a substitute player. he brought the sub out, it was a handpainted white jersey, blue pant WR with #32....OJ's number. he also has been on that bills team since then.
ive been lucky, i think ive only had 1 or 2 other players get sat or stepped on. you know stepping on them is common when your a kid and play all your games on the floor...lol.
