"Joseph, 48, earned eight letters in three sports at Madison High School. Born without a left leg, he declined to use a prosthesis and participated in football, basketball and track & field on one leg. He started at noseguard in football his sophomore year, and was named Big Bend Player of the Week for his seven solo tackles and four assists during a game. Also a starter his senior year, he had 11 solo tackles and six assists in the season opener. In track & field, he was a district high jump champion with a mark of 5-10. His story was featured on "That's Incredible," "The Today Show," "To Tell the Truth," and on NFL halftime shows. After high school, he played linebacker and lineman for Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Fla., and coached at Madison and Jefferson County Middle-Senior High School in Monticello, Fla. He was named the Most Courageous Athlete of 1981 by the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association, and is the subject of a biography, "One of a Kind: The Legend of Carl Joseph." "

So I'd probably be suspended for the obvious John Kruk parody this thread is begging for, huh?

yes you can

4/22/2009 11:12:21 PM

not if you only have 1 foot. he'd have to hop twice before he dribbled. i guess? it'd probably be pretty hard not to beat him anyways, unless you just felt bad and didn't really try.

imagine how much shit your teammates would give you if you got tackled by the guy with one leg

4/22/2009 11:30:02 PM
