After laughing myself silly over Geno Smith potentially missing a big chunk of time after getting sucker punched by his own team mate over $600 what are some of the more ludicrous injury stories to come out of the NFL in recent years?

The coach of the Jaguars in the mid 2000's brought in a stump and an axe because his mantra was keep chopping wood. The punter took a swing and chopped some punter instead. Also way, way back in the day some guy in the HoF ended his career at the coin toss. After the coin was flipped he spun around too fast, his cleats got stuck and he tore his ACL.

Nate Burleson of the Detroit Lions is driving home with leftover pizza when the pizza starts to slip off the passenger seat. Nate tries to save the pizza but ends up crashing the car and breaking his arm. Joseph Fauria of the Detroit Lions is spending time in the house with Lil' Rufio, his Pomsky, when Lil' Rufio starts to pee. Joe jumps down the stairs while trying to get the dog outside and sprains his ankle. Some people think that story was a lie and he actually got injured playing volleyball with some local girls. Stephen Tulloch of the Detroit Lions sacks Aaron Rodgers, jumps in the air to celebrate and lands funny, tearing his ACL. At least the Lions won that game. A few weeks later, Lamarr Houston of the Bears sacks Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo at the end of getting blown out and tears his ACL doing literally the same thing.

Strahan tore his ACL in a sack celebration once, but he convinced everyone that he did it during the play. He only came clean after he retired.

Bill Grammatica is one of the go to dumb injuries. Note that this is a not particularly long or impressive field goal to go up by 3 in the first quarter. Laugh at the guys tearing ACLs for celebrating sacks if you want but at least those are sort of impressive. Gus Frerotte (a QB) headbutted a wall celebrating a TD and sprained his neck. And Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg with a handgun at a nightclub, which led to jail time in addition to a loving bullet wound, and eventually led to this great TD celebration. e: Oops beaten on Gus. Was it a concussion or neck sprain? Or neck sprain used as a way to not say concussion.

Also, this is college related, but Ted Ginn Jr. returned the opening kick for a TD in the 2006 BCS NCG and then hosed up his foot celebrating, keeping him out of the game. Ohio State probably wouldn't have won anyway, but Troy Smiths statline would have been better than 4/14 35 yards, 1 INT, and one fumble lost. Oh and 5 sacks. Why, yes I am hard right now why do you ask?

Owen Schmitt bashed himself in the face with his own helmet while trying to get the crowd hyped up before a game against the Jaguars. It wasn't really a serious injury but he bled a lot and had to get some stitches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcIhNJo1t4A

Not sure if this should go in the N/V thread so I'm posting it here: Are these strings of preseason games going to have their own NFL (see: Not DirectTV) redzone coverage? I remember reading something about it but can't remember if they're going ahead with it or not.

I also enjoied The Real All Americans about Carlisle Indian Acamedy. I should dig that out and re read it actually.

Jesus Christ. So a friend wants to go see 'Straight Outta Compton' later today, so I'm looking around on Netflix for something to watch over breakfast. 30 for 30: Straight Outta LA - Ice Cube explores how the LA Raiders influenced the turbulent culture of the South Central LA after moving to the city in the 80s. Awesome, perfect. It opens with Ice Cube interviewing Al Davis. A literal talking corpse zombie. Worst decision ever. Barely keeping my food down.

Meat Market is a good one for college recruiting. It is a non-fiction book from a journalist that followed Ogeron for a year when he was head coach at Ole Miss.

Bill Connelly's book "Study Hall: College Football, Its Stats and Its Stories" is amazing. It's half "these are the schemes and strategies that are changing the game", half "these are the people and stories that are why we love college football." If you search for "why we love college football study hall" you should find the first chapter.

Seconding Slow Getting Up and The Games That Changed The Game, both are very good reads, particularly the latter. Also check out America's Game, which is a really good history of how the NFL came to be what it is today.

That is an illegal formation. The NFL is very unnecessarily prissy about requiring ineligible numbers to only be in ineligible positions, and eligible numbers to only be in eligible positions. In NCAA you're allowed to line up #50 at fullback, and you can also put #84 in as an apparent tight end and then cover him up with wide receiver #15, and there's no foul at the snap; only if they then do something to offend the eligiblity rules is there a flag.

Hey guys, I've got a random question. The lady stood with her hands in her pockets in front of the kneeling cameraman: what is her role? What is she doing on the field? There are two photographers (man kneeling, woman almost out of the shot on the right), a cheerleader, and the audience. She seems... out of place. A winner of some sort of "fieldside seats" competition?
