The Gold Standard of Football Injuires
One of my favorite things to do online is show people horrific sports injuries just to see their reaction. The glory that is YouTube makes all of this possible, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites,i.e. most gruesome, with you. Enjoy!
This is it my friends, this is the injury that the majority of football pundits believe is the most disturbing hit in the all of football. This is Lawrence Taylor snapping the tibia and fibula of Joe Theismann's right leg.
I believe this goes without saying, but for those who have weak stomachs better not fucking watch this. I will not be held responsible for you vomiting. That's just mean.
snap
Thank God that you can't hear Theismann's bones snap... that would have been even more gruesome.
This all took place in 1985 during a Monday Night Football game between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. In a called flea-flicker that did not fool the Giants' defense whatsoever, NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor lunged at Theismann, grabbed him by the shoulder pads, pulled him down, and landed with all of his body weight on Theismann's right leg. Snap, snap. There goes a career.
Although he looks to be writing about in pain, he apparently felt none of it.
"It was at that point, I also found out what a magnificent machine the human body is," Theismann said. "Almost immediately, from the knee down, all the feeling was gone in my right leg. The endorphins had kicked in, and I was not in pain."*
Both Theismann and Taylor have refused to view the footage of the hit, although word is that after it occured, Taylor told Theismann that he was lucky that he hadn't broken both of his legs.
But of course, that's just the type of guy Taylor was/is/always will be. I mean, come on, he's a well known coke-head who's in the Hall of Fame. Take THAT Michael Irvin.
One must wonder, though... if Theismann had played a few more years maybe he would be considered a legandary quarterback for more than just getting his lag snapped in half and winning one Super Bowl. Maybe he would be in the NFL Hall of Fame and wouldn't be working for ESPN where we have to suffer through his really really dumb comments on a regular basis.
Nothing is really different for Lawerence Taylor. He finished that day just like he finished any other day... coked out while banging a prostitute.

The only thing that can top this in the gruesome scale is either Tony Saunders breaking his elbow on a curveball, Rick Helling having his forearm impaled with a broken bat, or... any Steven Seagal movie.
