Holcomb has a hairline fracture, basically meaning a little itty bity part snapped but is still in place.

McNabb's fibula on the other hand was SNAPPED. Remember when Vick got hurt and he was rolling on the ground in pain and couldn't walk? The exact same thing happened to McNabb. That happened in the first quarter, he goes on to pass for 4 TD passes and 400 yards.

McNair hasn't practiced during the season since about 1996 (ok, an exageration but you get the point) and yet still goes out and performs every Sunday.

Byron Leftwich in college couldn't stand on his broken shin. He had to be carried to the offensive line, where he would have to call the correct play all on his own, then run the play, then repeat the entire process.

And that's just in football. If you included other sports.

Arturo Gatti broke his right (dominate) hand in his third fight in the fourth round with Micky Ward. Now, if you haven't seen a Ward/Gatti fight, these were just flat out brawls, when the punches started flying, they flew for about 3 minutes at a time. Every time Gatti connected with a punch with his right hand you couldn't just look at the pain on his face, you could literally feel it it was so painful. When he goes back to the corner and his cornerman says "Is your hand ok? Do you want to go on?" his face and body say no but his mouth says yes. After 10 grueling rounds Gatti eventually won the decision.

Those are all within the past few years. Is Holcomb the toughest guy in sports? Not a chance. Is he the toughest guy in football? (This is where everyone starts laughing)

(This is where everyone starts laughing) __________________ One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
