“When you’ve got two human beings hitting each other, there’s no such thing as a hammer and a nail. They’re both hammers. Both people are going to incur some sort of injury,” said former NFL great, Chicago Bears safety Doug Plank.
One half of the Bears’ “Hit Men,” Plank is no stranger to collisions or playing with pain. “Pain is such a factor in the National Football League. When I was there, physicians would drain your joints. They would actually take inflammation out of your shoulders and knees. That’s why I think I’ve got four replaced joints right now — titanium.”
