Ok....you know I'm out throwing the football with my son and the neighbor kids almost daily. Well, about 10 years ago I was all beered up and went to a pitching both to calculate my speed. I didn't warm up, there was no mound and I had no cleats. I wound up and threw as hard as I could (77 mph) and I felt something go. It didn't hurt too bad because I was 12 pack charlie. But now when I go out and toss the ball every now and then I'll throw it hard and I feel my shoulder almost slip and it hurts right to my finger tips - bad! I have to take a vicodin when that happens. I think I have a tear in my rotator cuff (yes thats cuff - not cup people LOL). It happened yesterday and my arm hurt for hours.

I have to say though.....without a mound, cleats and just throwing from pavement in tennis shoes - 77 MPH was not a bad speed at all. Bet a mound and cleats would have pushed that number up.
