Apparently the atmospheric changes and the changes in humidity affects athletes more than they realize...

Yeah, I have heard that going to California can turn people into pussies.

I'm giving Hartley the benefit of the doubt on this one. That field was not the greatest surface to be playing on. I didn't pay attention to the actual kick where he hurt himself, but the baseball dirt was causing people to slip and slide all night, and the grass seemed kind of long and soddy -- you could see it was giving way under people's feet very easily. Not so much affecting the running game, but I definitely saw a couple of receivers on BOTH teams, who had minor trouble with their footing, planting or changing direction, making cuts, it was tearing up.

Like I said, I didn't see the actual kick in question, but especially IF he was kicking from the dirt part of the field, or if he planted his foot and hit a clump of grass that gave way, then an injury in that situation could be perfectly understandable. It is unfortunately part of the game.

It was on the grass portion of the field. Everything seemed completely normal and the kick was good, even though it was kind of a "helicopter ball" but as soon as he kicked it, he grabbed his leg.

Its just bad mojo. It's a medical mystery. It's those Nigerians out in Oakland working up some black magic. Word has it they were severing the heads off live chickens in the parking lot before the game.

They effed up tho. They only got our kicker.
