Texas Tech gruesome leg injury

Not sure if this was posted in the general NCAAF thread. Definitely not for the Squeamish

Didn't want to see it, but couldn't help myself.

It flashed on my twitter yesterday without me being ready...yuck.

BUT, anyone else ever surprised more of this doesn't happen given the size of the guys, piles/hits and impact football players have each play?

No thank you.

I saw it live and honestly I thought he took a shot to the helmet. I completely missed the spaghetti noodle leg.

No interest in watching it, who was it. Anyone remember the RB Oakland? vs Minnesota MNF 20+ some years ago, leg broke backwards? I saw it live it was gruesome, I think he almost lost that leg, never played football again.

These happen more often than concussions and ACL. Maybe not but still a lot.

Gross

The QB for Fresno had an ugly one too, but not nearly that bad. Some douche put the TT one on FB and I saw it before I knew I didn't want to see it.

Yuck...

Of course, IMO, the all-time worst sports injury I've ever seen and that I'll never be able to forget is when Kevin Ware came down awkwardly against Duke in the 2013 NCAA basketball tournament. It was such a horrifying injury that his own teammates on the bench, who had an up close and personal view of it, were throwing up after seeing it in live time.

The Joe Theismann break was probably the worst one I’ve seen. I did watch Gordon Hayward with the Celtics break his leg in a game.

 

[Cyclonick182]

Silva bending his leg on Chris Weidman was also pretty gross.

 

[cycloner29]

Alex Smith was pretty bad to..



Theismann one...

Mine was really bad too. Ankle was like 60 degrees to my leg. Just laid there and watch it go back into place. Foot and ankle the size of a football.

 

[HFCS]

Just from feeling and hearing the sound of my acl injury I can't imagine any of these.

Was that the one where you could hear it crack on TV?

I don't think so, at least not that I remember.

And Thank God for that; the visual was graphic enough all by itself.

I cheered the outcome of that match until I saw the video.
