I just spent a very enjoyable evening hanging out with Mark Zupan, Murderball player and star of the upcoming documentary of the same name. If you haven’t heard about it yet - and don’t worry, you will - murderball is basically “quad rugby,” a fairly vicious game played in an arena. Oh, one more detail: all of the players are in their wheelchairs. This is a fascinating sport, and looks like its poised for some real national traction. If you get a chance to see the movie, or better yet to see a game, take it!

Just leave the kiddies at home for this one.

Oh - and I would be remiss not to tell you to check out Chris’ site Quadfather.net, dedicated to “rehab of the mind,” helping people who were seriously crippled not just get back to a functioning level after an accident, but to come back all the way and start kicking some serious ass. Seriously. And believe me when I say that these guys mean it.
