Our dear roommate, tight end, and in-house unintentional comedic genius Cedric Charpilloz had a season-ending knee injury in the Flash's latest win. A tight, hard fought battle between France's two EFL Eurobowl teams, La Courneuve Flash and the Elancourt Templiers, the Flash prevailed 28-25.
In the third quarter Cedric caught the ball on a crossing rout and was cut down from upfield by the Templiers cowardly safety. A cheap hit, it ended Cedric season with the Flash, and angered me. Cedric loves football, more than anyone else on the team, including me. It broke my heart to see it all end for him on that play. The Flash was struggling and losing at this point in the game, but we all pulled it together for Cedric and came out on top.
Jeff and I were in no mood to celebrate the victory following the game and waited at the flat for Cedric to return from the hospital.
The diagnosis was a partial tear of the PCL and a small fracture at the top his fibia. No surgery is required, but with the time needed to properly heal and rehabilate these kind of injuries, Cedric was surely finished playing tight end for the Flash this season.
Jeff and I were already planning to go to Lausanne, (Cedric's hometown in Switzerland), the off- weekend following the game, but now we were going with him to help him get his things home. Doctor Love is definitely going to be missed by La Courneuve, and his two new American friends.
