Inspired by Eric Wood breaking his leg today, I just spent an hour on YouTube looking at old videos of football players getting hurt, apparently because I really enjoy cringing.
Here are some of the worst I’ve come across, in no particular order:
Lawrence Taylor Breaks Joe Theismann
Possibly the most famous NFL injury of all time, this has seen a lot of renewed interest lately because of the movie The Blind Side which leads off with this clip. Read the rest of this entry »
Eric Wood breaking his leg is one of the more gruesome NFL videos you’ll ever see, so if you’re at all squeamish I’d recommend not watching. Real shame, this is Wood’s first professional season and I can’t even begin to imagine how tough it’ll be to come back from something that looks like that. Read the rest of this entry »
Brady Quinn performed a pretty brutal looking chop block on Terrell Suggs last night, capping off a miserable performance for Quinn and leaving Suggs injured for at least the next few weeks. Ray Lewis called it an “illegal blow”, and saying “When you’re running down and you’re looking at the quarterback going at somebody’s knees who doesn’t even have the ball.

This might be the greatest soccer taunting of all time, check it out at about the :20 second mark, the goalie does some cartwheels to warm up which isn’t too appreciated.

Sosa obviously has no qualms with better living through chemistry, but he should have thought twice before messing so much with his face. What do you think, should Sammy seek a refund? Check out these before and after pics: Read the rest of this entry »
I watched this live and thought there was no way the mare Zenyatta could come back after starting on the wrong lead, but come back she did. This might be in a movie someday, one of the most incredible races I’ve ever seen.
It turns out Florida’s Brandon Spikes is something of a dirty player. CBS ignored it at the time, but fans didn’t, getting this video of Brandon Spikes eye gouging a Washaun Ealey against Georgia on Saturday.
Spikes has been suspended for one half of this weekend’s game against Vanderbilt, a punishment which doesn’t seem all that harsh considering the opponent.
