Today Alex Smith broke his leg 33 years to the day after Joe smashed his. They were playing for the same team. RG3 also broke his leg badly while playing for the Redskins. It seems that the Redskins, as an organization, have something against functioning legs. As well as First Nations people and their own fans.

This is a violent game and week by week people are putting their livelihoods on the line for a game with very few guaranteed contracts. Right now Earl Thomas is working at Walgreens because he didn't have the balls of Bell, and that's just how it is.


I think it's worthwhile to remember what's at stake in this game we call Football as well as remembering that watching people hurt themselves can be stimulating and life affirming in ways that would only make sense to our primate brains.

On one hand, this prevents Washington from being in the most unwatchable playoff game on wildcard weekend.

On the other hand, this means the Cowboys will be playing in the prime time slot on Sunday of Wildcard weekend.

Oh, my dear Alex. You spent so many years being terrible for my team, but then Harbaugh fixed the world for you. On an otherwise great team, you were almost good enough. He showed you the door at his first excuse, and I knew it was the right decision — but I never forgot you, and every time you flashed one of your great games for Kansas City, I remembered those times you shone for us, and I was happy for you. For me it was always that one night in Candlestick against the Saints.

Farewell, sweet prince. Please just retire.

I didn't edit. There was a Napoleon Kaufman tho...apparently also a Raider which is adding to the confusion for me lol

Was that Alabama WR the one who ran knee first into the cart?

I am asking a lot of questions because gently caress googling that poo poo.

No the Houston WR was the one who ran into the cart, Prothro was a straight up jumpball in the endzone into a leg break

I don't know if I've seen that one. Reminds me of Zach Miller's injury though that nearly cost him his life and leg :stare:

I also remember seeing Ed McAffrey's shin snap in half on (iirc) a MNF game against the Raiders way back when.

I'm still amazed this was the outcome, it could have been so so so so much worse.

quote:

Knox required immediate surgery to stabilize an injured vertebra, but maintained sensation in all limbs following the incident.[7] Hargrove later personally apologized to Knox for his role in the injury.[8] The Bears placed Knox on injured reserve the following day.[9]

Knox started the 2012 NFL season on Chicago's 'physically unable-to-perform' (PUP) list.[9] He was unable to fully recover from the injury even after extensive rehabilitation and therapy.[10] After the injury, Knox walks with a limp and is unable to stand without discomfort.[11] The Bears released Knox on February 12, 2013.[12] He announced his retirement on February 13.[13]

Friends, I did a lot of studying and a lot of thinking and I must now share the results of my research with you.



This is the graph that most closely resembles Alex Smith's leg now. Thank you.

They really do need to get rid of 90% of people on the sidelines, and certainly those right on the touch line should only be the coaching staff.

I don’t understand why there are so many people standing around down there on every side of the pitch - contrast to any European sport (soccer).

McKinzie Milton is in emergency surgery to save his leg, he had arterial damage and a bunch of internal bleeding along with the knee break and shredding of all his ligaments.


Korranus posted:

Kinda stitched together from these two, I really hope for his sake that's overstating. My sister had a similar injury about ten years ago playing lacrosse, they did have to go in and fix arterial damage to stuff going to lower regions of the leg, like the ankle. Took her about 16 months to fully recover, and never played lacrosse again.
