I'm slightly embarrassed to tell this story, but here goes.

So I was playing NHL 2k4 (which means I was 21 years old at the time) and I ended up in game 7 overtime vs. the stars. It isn't really an excuse, but you have to appreciate to play a full 82 game season plus playoffs in these games it can take months. There was a silly little bug in the game that would cause me to score on my own goal when trying to pass out of the zone. Rarely if ever happened. So there I am in game 7 overtime and the bug rears it's ugly head and I score on my own goal.

While I didn't have a complete freak out, I tensed every muscle in my body and threw a punch as hard as I could into a couch cushion. Has anybody ever tried to throw a big punch while completely stiff in the neck? I wouldn't recommend it.

Turns out I pulled a muscle so bad in my neck that I couldn't look left or right more than probably 20 degrees for 3 straight days. Every time I tried to look in any direction I'd think to myself "wow you're ######ed".
