That young man needs to go to a Dermatologist and see about getting that baseball-sized pimple lanced or something!
At least he kept his "eye on the ball"
You know how we occasionally have those debates as to whether catchers should be mask on or mask off for plays at the plate?
Two big-time OUCH-es for certain. Wanna see an OUCH ... imagine trying to stop this freight train:
Jonah Lomu Highlights
If you have seen the movie Invictus, this is film of the real Jonah Lomu. Lomu was the most feared man, on the most feared team, in the Rugby world in the late 1990's.

You sure that isn't Jim Brown ?
southpaw, he's my idea of J-Lo! The guy playing him in Invictus is actually older than Jonah is now; they could have well had the real thing, although he is a bit different now post-kidney transplant and with his new bodybuilding gig. What a rugger; the man was a machine and so exciting to watch! That man could drag half the opposition with him across the goal line.
An American Football player comparison to an International Rugby player? Um, no. No protection, no breaks every three seconds, just for starters.

TR -- They are definitely the same type of dominating force ...
Jim Brown -- 6'-2", 232 lb, 4.5 40yd
Jonah Lomu -- 6'-5", 275 lb, 10.8 100m (4.2 to 4.3 40 time)
Both played with the same "I dare you to stop me" attitude. The noble warrior. Been raising SP_Son to play baseball with the NZ All Black warrior attitude. You may have seen it show from time to time ...

I think Bo Jackson was one of the greatest athletes of our time! No telling what he would have done if not for the injury! 
This started out as a thread on OUCH!!! Whether it is:
Pete Rose trucking Ray Fosse in the all-Star Game (OUCH!!!)
Derek Jeter going headfirst into the stands to make a catch (OUCH!!!)
Lawrence Taylor crushing Joe Theisman (Compound OUCH!!!)
I tip my cap to all the players who take the OUCH-es, to make the play. God bless the noble warriors.
