Earlier today, Coach knocked himself unconscious while participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge. Created by the ALS Association, the Ice Bucket Challenge has participants film themselves pouring a bucket of water and ice over their heads. According to witnesses, Coach was unaware that the ice bucket was supposed to contain water and instead froze the entire bucket before dumping the large block of ice directly onto his own head.
Unconscious, he was rushed to the hospital where doctors confirmed that he suffered from a mild concussion but no permanent damage. According to the attending physician, “Coach was lucky to have a thicker than normal skull and a vastly smaller than average brain. This physical abnormality likely protected him from more severe injuries.”
Coach is using the injury to explain away a string of incoherent posts on Obama's birth certificate credentials: “Getbiggers on the political board assumed I was intoxicated, but that was not the case. This was the result of the accident, but I am perfectly fine now and just as smart as ever.” The posts were made more than a week ago, but Coach is adamant that today’s injury caused the odd occurrence.
