I have a bruise from football that covers my whole tricep! I play Nose tackle and was being double teamed by the center and left guard, and the LB was supposed to take out the left guard, well it turn out that i had my arm at a 90 degree angle, and the LB hit the back of my arm, and smushed it in between him and the guard! Talk about pain, it even hurts to type! I love football bruises, because they always resemble something, like the holes in your jerseys, face masks, shoulder pads, etc. I will get pics! How big have your bruises been?
