Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sad to announce I suffered a head injury Friday night at the bar.

Now, I know many of you are wondering and panicking if I’ll be ready to go today for college football after last night.

First, I’d like to make clear what happened. After hearing an absurd comment from a friend deep in a debate, I spun my head around to make a counterpoint. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

What I didn’t know was that there was a beer bottle right there, which quickly got intimate with my forehead.

It was brutal. It was a shot to the head that would have killed most men right on the spot. It was the kind of hit that could have knocked out even the toughest of men.

Despite that, I realized I was at a crossroad. I could lay down and die after yet another head injury or I could push onward.

As you all know, I’ve been hospitalized many times throughout my life for head injuries. The next one could always be the last one.

Luckily, I woke up today and made the choice to push forward. If the boys on D-Day weren’t going to retreat, then I have no right to take it easy just because I took a beer bottle to the head.

The masses are looking to me for leadership. What message would I be sending if I got into the fetal position and just put ice on it? It’d be disgraceful.

Now, with a day of college football ahead of us all, I’d like to officially clear up any speculation about my health for this beautiful Saturday.

I’m officially listed as probable for college football today. If this was May, would I take it easier? Sure, but this is the college football season.

This is when we gut it out and find out who we are. This is where we separate the boys from the men. You’re crazy if you think I’m going to let a little head injury stop me from crushing my usual routine.

Save your prayers and well wishes for somebody who needs them. I’m David Hookstead, and I have a college football program to lead.

To all the critics, haters and losers out there, I’m sorry I didn’t die last night. I guess you’re just going to have to watch my rise to the top of the mountain for a little longer.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
