去年12月，前纽约巨人队弃踢兼射门球员杨浩·库在对阵新英格兰爱国者队的射门尝试中完全踢空，当时捧腹大笑的不止转播评论员。
肯塔基州列克星敦市斯彭德里夫特马场的种马销售经理马克·图特克当时正和妻子马洛里坐在沙发上，为这记踢偏的射门以及随之而来的球权转换笑得前仰后合。
紧接着，他感到了异样。
“我左臂一阵发麻，之后就没别的知觉了。之后也没感到任何疼痛，”图特克说道。
他昏迷了25分钟，随后在医院得知自己患上了癫痫。
医生还告知了一个令人震惊的消息：他长了一颗网球大小的脑瘤。
幸运的是，他的妻子马洛里是一名护士。
“如果这事注定要发生，那真的是发生在了最恰当的时机，”图特克说道。“我本来可能会死的，要知道我一直在外出差。”
肿瘤是良性的，在经历了忙乱的24小时后，图特克已经出院回家。
但如今他正为今年的肯塔基德比做准备，届时他期待能和斯彭德里夫特马场的赛马“再接再厉”一同站在冠军领奖台上，而他仍会想起库和那记导致他发现肿瘤的踢偏射门。
图特克联系了这位曾入选职业碗、2020年带领亚特兰大猎鹰队在NFL得分榜上领跑的射门球员。
“我非常希望他能来观看赛马比赛，或者来斯彭德里夫特马场做客，”图特克说道。“如果他想去看赛马，我们就陪他去。如果他想来看看母马和小马驹，我很荣幸能带他参观我们在肯塔基州列克星敦的这座美丽马场。”

When former New York Giants’ placekicker Younghoe Koo completely missed the ball on a field goal attempt against the New England Patriots last December, the broadcasters weren’t the only ones laughing.
Mark Toothaker, a stallion sales manager for Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, was on the couch cracking up with his wife, Malory, about the whiffed field goal and consequential turnover.
Then, he felt something strange.
“I felt a shock in my left arm, and then I never felt anything else. Had no pain, anything after that,” Toothaker said.
He didn’t wake up for 25 minutes and was told at the hospital that he suffered a seizure.
Doctors also revealed the shocking news that he had a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball.
Luckily, his wife Malory is a nurse.
“Just happened at absolutely the right place if it had to happen,” Toothaker said. “I could have died, I mean, I’m on the road all the time.”
The tumor was benign, and Toothaker was home from the hospital after a whirlwind 24 hours.
But as he prepares for this year’s Kentucky Derby, where he’s hoping to be in the winner’s circle with Spendthrift’s horse, Further Ado, he still thinks about Koo, and the whiff that led to the tumor’s discovery.
Toothaker reached out to the kicker, who made the Pro Bowl and led the NFL in points with Atlanta in 2020.
“I’d love to have him come to the races, or come visit Spendthrift,” Toothaker said. “If he wants to go racing, we’ll go racing. If he wants to come out and see the mares and foals, it’d be my honor to come out and show him around this beautiful farm that we have here in Lexington, Kentucky.”
