Bear bites can get infected.
My sister got bitten by a bear once, in the shower.
That is why they wear faceguards in football.
I was wondering why he was in DFW before a big game in Chicago.
Seriously, is it THAT unreasonable to ask millionaires with college degrees to keep their noses clean? Lay off the booze and behave yourself. Save the thuggery for after you’ve “retired”. Be a good neighbor. Walk AWAY from altercations. Ignore insults. “Living well is the best revenge”.

college degrees they didn’t have to crack a book to receive of course

LOL!
Mind you, moose shower bites can be nasti.
“Early Sunday morning? He has a game tonight. Why wasn’t he in bed instead of out biting a restaurant manager?”
He has been on injured reserve nearly all season.
Why SURELY you don’t suggest that college athletes are held to a different academic standard, or are given grades they didn’t earn do you? I mean, that would be a crushing indictment of college athletics programs!
