Ugliest incident in sports.
What do you think? I can think of three.
1. McGahee (SP?) against Ohio State in the championship game. The way he broke that knee. Made me wince. Good to see him coming back strong. 2. That Goalie back in the day that got sliced with the skate. 3. The Lion's player that was paralyzed. He played about ten years ago. Shocking how quiet that stadium was. |

Watching MNF some 20+ years ago (1983?) and watching replay after replay (from every angle possible in those days) of Joe Theisman busting his leg.
Watching Tom Browning pitch and in mid throw his arm snaps, (some what like Sid Vicious when his leg snapped in mid air coming off the rope). Watching the Cleveland Browns play. I could think of a few more....

janet jackson's boob hanging out.
Baseball players shooting roids then breaking homerun records of the guys that set them the old fashion way. Leagues that go on strike for more money. Fans that cant hold on to a cup of beer. And the players that go into the stands.

I have to agree with two of yours, being:
2. That Goalie back in the day that got sliced with the skate. 3. The Lion's player that was paralyzed. He played about ten years ago. Shocking how quiet that stadium was. (that was truly a sad day, I was tearing up myself. What a horrible way to go) And I would add the most recent incident in Detroit. |

If we're talking about various snapped limbs in the NFL, I'll never forget the opening Monday night game, Labor Day 1994, Raiders vs. Niners and Napoleon McCallums leg breaking.
Also, I remember Moises Alou maybe 10 years ago, when he was on the Expos, sliding into 2nd base in St. Louis and dislocating his ankle. The ball got into center field and he tried to stand up and run but his foot was 180 degrees facing backwards.

One of these things is not like the others
Bertuzzi, McSorley and Theisman.
And any and every instance of a fan/player fight. Dumbasses. edit - a player on the opposing team in my rec. hockey league had some sort of seizure on the bench and died the next day in the hospital. He had just scored a goal that game, too. That really sucked. |

The hardest thing for me to watch was not that graphic. It was Hank Gathers of Loyola Marymount running down the basketball court and collapsing. What is bad is that you can pretty much tell that he is dead before he even hits the ground.

February 18, 2001 - Dale Earnhardt killed on the final lap of the Daytona 500. That will FOREVER stick out in my mind, as the racing community lost one of the best racers...ever.
As far as the crushing deaths at stadiums...that's just fucking stupid. There ain't NO game THAT important. Never has been, never will be. I'll never understand riots after big games...ESPECIALLY when the home team wins!!!

The goalie getting cut by the skate across the neck...just gruesome.
John Smiley, Tony Saunders and 2 other pitchers I cannot name off the top of my head who broke their arm throwing a pitch during a game. People said it sounded like a bat hitting a ball. Sad thing is Saunders arm broke THREE different times after recovery attempts.

I remember watching this game on TV when I was younger and being totally freaked out by it, we didn't have to wear neck guards back then in minor hockey in my hometown, shortly after this incident we all wore neck guards.

His knee went about 90 degrees the wrong way, it was horrific. I couldn't even imagine the pain. Being from Buffalo I remember vividly when Malarchuk got cut. His injury may indeed be one of the worst since he was nearly dead by the time the trainers even got to him. Alex Zanardi losing both of his legs was also very horrific and a truly terrible incident.

I remember watching a Bears game many years ago, when a wide receiver was running a pass route and collapsed and died. I remember the announcers, seeing him down, assumed tha Butkus had hit him. As they we wheeling him off, his arm flopped and the announcer said he was waving to the crowd, but he was already dead.
