You not only injured your finger catching a football, but you broke it. It was hardly a dynamic catch, I mean, it was not like you dove for the football for a touchdown in a game-winning effort (although you should have made something up to make it sound fun). The ball hit your hand, and your bone fractured like ice under hot water. While everyone you know has tormented you (deservedly so) about this incident, it does suck that your follow-up medical care was counterproductive. I mean, immobilize your finger for 3 weeks and come back? You did get quite good at GH3 with your left hand though. I found that rather impressive. Now gold five star Raining Blood and call it good.

I would play soccer (sorry, "REAL" football) more often except that I was once hit in the head with a soccer ball and had stopped breathing for about a minute or so (conscious the whole time to boot). No permanent damage done but that still was a much more distressing injury. And unless you're going to bother to try playing American football then how you can try to preach to me about which is more fun? I've played football, both soccer and American style, tennis, racquetball, ultimate frisbee, softball, baseball, roller blading, volleyball, wallyball, dodgeball and countless other sports. And I'm obviously not very sports-inclined, but I've found all of them to be fun. darken: Yes, I mean American football.

Maybe you should try something more fun and not that dangerous for your hands, like real football (european type) where you get to hit the ball with your feet more often. At least you will save your fingers for typing and Guitar Hero if not have more fun. ;) I’m sorry to hear that, by football I guess you mean american football.
