The Bulldozer

Today, we got an incident report from the daycare. Apparently, Troy was running full speed on the playground and collided into a little girl. When the teacher called to tell us, she couldn’t stop laughing. She said that Troy bulldozed right over the little girl. The little girl had gone flying halfway across the playground, and Troy had gotten a bump on the head. I guess with his size and speed, he was carrying a lot of momentum. My boy’s a tank!

My immediate thoughts were imagining the scene play out like an Earl Campbell highlight reel. Seeing Troy plow through a defender that is desperately trying to wrap up his disproportionately-large thighs or clinging to his jersey as he's hauled down the field. Luckily, the little girl ended up fine, which amazingly and hilariously was the first question that my wife and I both asked. I guess we just assume that Troy would be okay.
