It was sort of the same thing you see when the team all jumps into a pile on the field. I had seen it done at pep rallys before that and I'm sure its done at most. The players all congregate in the middle of the floor, whooping it up. Justin said he was watching to make sure nobody came down on him (if I remember right) and as he tried to step away from the pile, he stepped onto someone else's foot and down he went.
I had done some volunteer time on the rescue squad, seen some nice breaks, some thing that were pretty disgusting, and his ankle was right there with them. I never paid attention to his ankles before that, I'm sure he had large ankles but it was swollen up so much that I was originally wondering what they had put on his ankle to make it look like that, because it didn't look like an ankle, it looked like a movie special effect, you know you've seen it in a movie, something swells so much and then explodes. His ankle looked like it could do that. Was there, when every coach was waiting around for the doctor to show up. Was there when Justin tried to talk them into letting him play, and went onto the field to show them he could run with it (he couldn't but he sure tried). And like Counts said, he had problems with that ankle every since. That has been the one thing that concerns me about his attempts to go pro, I know he had the surgery on it and hopefully it has fixed it.
