J.D.Morrison Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Krumrie...was bad....McCaffrey was arguably worse.......Theismann ? but Musa Smith made me Vurp in my mouth......his leg folded over like an omlette, then flopped around like a butterfly in the wind !!! ughhh.... Catastrophic injuries (ie Utley, Stingley) respectfully cannot be counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Theisman and McCaffrey were bad -- was this worse? The announcer asked them not to replay it and I was on the laptop when it happened so I missed it .. gotta tune in to sportscenter ..

Skrappy1 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I know this is the NFL board before anyone reminds me, but McGahee's college injury was pretty sick as well. I was watching part of the Baltimore/Dallas game earlier...I actually saw the Smith play but then left the room for a minute and when I came back they were carting him off...I didn't even realize he got hurt when it happened, but I obviously I wasn't watching too closely.

Big Ernie McCracken Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 The Raider rb, Napolean Mccallum, had a sever compound fracture of his leg that was pretty gruesome.. 569114[/snapback] Actually I think McCallum was a complete tear of the ACL and MCL as well as rupturing of the artery. Not only was his football career over but he almost lost his lower leg completely. I saw him on ESPN 2 covering arm wrestling about a year ago. I'll never forget the injury, MNF vs. San Fran and it was Ken Norton who did the damage. Oddly enough Norton also snapped Bryant Young's shin on MNF which was another super gruesome injury.

Meat Face Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I agree, but I haven't seen Musa Smith's yet. 569118[/snapback] Here's Musa Smith's I think we both know that ain't jack squat compared to Napoleon. Just thinking about Napoleon's makes me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ernie McCracken Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 There was a UCLA receiver who blew out his kneeafter coming down with a catch about 5 years ago. The knee went and his leg just flopped around like spaghetti while the poor kid took another step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Napoleon McCallum, hands down. argh! 569112[/snapback] Easily the worst I've ever seen. I'd never seen a knee bend like a flamingo's until that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 There was a UCLA receiver who blew out his kneeafter coming down with a catch about 5 years ago. The knee went and his leg just flopped around like spaghetti while the poor kid took another step. 569133[/snapback] IIRC that was Freddie Mitchell. I think he broke his tibia and his leg came up and hit him in the back of the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAUgrad Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Gerald Willhite (sp?) with Denver. They were playing in Minn. or Indy a couple of years ago. Actually probably about 10 yrs. ago and he was finally having a good game. It was his only good game of his career. They were playing on carpet and his foot got stuck and just twisted completely backward. End of career!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Theisman - it was the first and the night it happened they must have shown it a million times. It was so bad, that (as I recall) the announcers didn't even realize what had happened. I remember on the first replay hearing something about an 'awful ankle injury' except that the bend was between the ankle and knee. Let's also remember it was a compound fracture where the bone sank partly into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
