There are only so many times you can get bonked with a football before it starts to affect you.

you can tell fall is on the way when Woodstock starts getting honked by the ball. Next thing, Charlie Brown will have his ball pulled away!

Woodstock should stick to badminton, even though it gives him a headache.

Do birds have knees? Although birds’ knees seem to bend backwards, they don’t. We cannot see their knees. What we see is the ankle. Their knees are much further up, usually obscured by feathers. https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/natures-home-magazine/birds-and-wildlife-articles/how-do-birds-survive/birds-legs-and-feet/

I have disabled knees, too.

I have no idea how dangerous football really isBan the sporthttps://www.popsci.com/how-dangerous-is-football-cte/

I’d worry more about his head. And Woodstock’s probably not feeling too good either.

After being hit by that football, it may be the entire body…

Woodstock should go back to playing dodgeball. It’s safer.

My knees went a long time ago…

Walk it off Woodstock. A bloody beak and sprained wing is part of the game. Channel your inner eagle.

I think the sport for Woodstock is twiddich

not to mention PCS

There’s a similar Peanuts cartoon where Snoopy says “Last Round Draft Pick”. I still use that line

You’ve got to admire Woodstock for trying to play a sport where the object to catch is bigger and heavier than his whole body, compounded with the additional challenges posed by gravity!
