What say you, Saban leading BamaFB to age 75?
Oh, I'm still pretty good but broken back is compressed (2-3" shorter), bent & bit crispy..
right wrist ok & works writing checks even with 4" long metal plate & 9 pins..and rotor culp is nice to me 90% of the time.
As they say, you ain't gonna get out of here Alive but go having fun & screaming with joy (and shorter in stature for some)!

^ Exactly FM but I fell backwards to my right side...

and onto a concrete pad and witness said my butt bounced up 1 foot off it.
But, but..I protected my right hip & head! LOL
Stupid, was tired after hours of cutting high palm tree branches and sadly was one cut b/4 finishing job..
and then thousands of $ spent on ER & Doctors, months of rehab, precious time and now six years later 2-3" shorter and everyday I have to exercise core and try to stand up straight as possible.
Lucky though since a woman in same week at HHI fell while cutting a high limb with long cutting saw and as she fell she came down on the saw and it impaled her chest-stomach area and her husband in backyard immediately ran around and found her dead.
Saying: Stay off high LADDERS!
I was lucky for 75 years.

lightbulbbill® Seriously, thanks for some of your best advice.
Bama would be well served to hook up Saban with a tower and an elevator.

15 years back was stupidly on top of a 6' ladder just like your .gig picking cherry tomatoes.
I was laid up for about ten days, but recovered.
LBB, sorry to hear you had to endure that. Getting old brings pains enough without us adding to them with ladders.

Falls are our worst enemines - I know from experience; fortunately, just broken ribs each time - once cleaning gutters and once trying to get out of my boat with my hands full instead of holding on. I was in great shape till around 89; 92 now. PTL!

Oh heck yeah.
Biden and Trump are that age.
Saban keeps himself in good shape, can afford the best doctors. As long as he wants to coach, he should.

Gravity works and the ground jumps up fast. Be glad it’s not worse!
