I see this comercial for the Pistons' "Sport's Illustrated" package and I see this guy with a plastic mask looking thing on the top half of his face. What the hell is that thing?
It must've been pretty bad though to require surgery. I've been kicked/punched/elbowed and striked various other ways in the face and never needed surgery (although setting hurts like hell)
ouch! i've been hit in the nose but never broken it. it hurt sooo much, i can't even imagine what breaking it would feel like. i'm a huge wuss though... :P
Every time I've been hit it was either sparring, fighting, or in a mosh pit, all of which involve so much adrenaline it doesn't hurt as much as you would think. I had a friend though that rode his skateboard into a glass door and broke his nose & zygomatic bone (right under the eye) and that looked like it hurt alot.
