thanks, and, yes, I DO worry about injury all the time. I DID NOT want him to play football at all, but, as in so many things, I lost the battle to his father. He plays b-ball and baseball, too, but he LOVES the football. He is a good kid, very big---but not as big as some of those bruisers. I would be happy if he went to barber school or ballet...but, he will do what he will. He's 18 now, and as he loves to tell me, "a man"---ha!
