Misc: Sport's Most Gruesome Injuries (with Pics)

not one mention of Napoleon McCallum? That is the worst injury I have ever seen. By far worse than Carson Palmer or Willis McGahee

Yeah, how can they forget that one? I sure never will - was watching that live. Made my stomach churn.

Of course, the visions of Palmer's knee going out always make me shiver.
 
Im pretty sure I would hang up my sport if my neck got sliced open or my eye poked out.

Napoleon McCallum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee.

Today McCallum runs his own company, Digital Pro Graphics, in Las Vegas. Digital Pro Graphics produces signs, murals, and vehicle wraps for buses, malls, and casinos, among other venues. This holiday season, the CEO will watch his alma mater go to a bowl game from his family's comfortable home in Henderson, Nev.

You folks need to skip to pic #14 to see Alabama's receiver's broken leg. It's worse than Theismann's. I'm going to have nightmares.

Did Ray Allen really have his eyeball hanging out?

It is pretty nasty. Not sure if it's worse - but certainly horrible.

Did Ray Allen really have his eyeball hanging out?

Yes.

I remember the Draveky one - one of the greatest comebacks in sports quickly becomes one of its greatest tragedies.

There's one I'm surprised didn't make it - it graced the ISU computer network the entire time I was there. A soccer player goes in for a sliding tackle, misses the ball, and snaps the other player's leg. Half the leg flopped, and I nearly puked.

Saw something similar watching WCW one time. Sid Vicious jumped from the top rope, landed on his feet the wrong way, and it snapped his leg. His leg flopped. There are a lot of things that are fake in wrestling - that injury wasn't one of them.
 
My dad used to be a volunteer firefighter and they would have water fights with the hoses sometimes. He said it was not uncommon for the water pressure to pop an eye out if it hit you just above the cheek bone. I asked him what they would do...
"Just pop it back in and keep going."
 
what about the punter for the redskins that took a knee to the nose against the cowboys? i think it was a thanksgiving day game possibly in the last 5 years or so? that guys nose was completely jacked up! + rep to anyone who can get me a pic of that

Theisman's ex-wife had the best quote when asked about his injury while he was still in the hospital she said something like "At least now I know where he is spending his nights!"
