GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
That would be a broken femur, which is the John F. Kennedy half-dollar of football injuries. EJ is listed as day-to-day.
Thanks to reader Andrew, I think.

Sweet miracle at Lourdes. It took me forEVER to even see it because I think my brain wouldn’t accept it. Then my eyes were opened and it couldn’t be unseen.
This will change Sandra Bullock’s life.

Theisman’s leg beats this. McGahee’s was bad. Napoleon McCallum much worse. But, don’t forget Tim Krumrie, during a Super Bowl (vs 49ers). Ed McCaffery (Denver) pretty gross, too.
I am glad that Theisman was the first comment, because that will always be the worst injury. Blood was on the field people, he never played again. McGahee was bad, but at least he recovered and played again.
Yeah. The MMA leg snap was pretty horrid too.

Hands down, McGahee’s knee was the worst injury I’ve witnessed.
AHHHH!!! At least give us the option of choosing whether or not to view it!!!
Somebody hasn’t been drinking their milk.
The Vikings took a beating against the Cardinals. Not only did they lose by 13 (should have been 20, considering Favre’s garbage TD), but they had a shitload of injuries.
As a Packers fan, this gives me more hope when the Pack faces the Vikings in the playoffs.
/hope this happens
//doesn’t care if the Packers win the Super Bowl, just beat Favre
@Potsie: Still, it was fuckin’ gross. Shame too, Oden’s finally starting to beast on people. Coulda sworn I saw Flozell Adams leaving the Portland game shortly after he went down, too…
Greg Oden had Mr. Garrison’s balls in his knees. For that matter, I’m pretty sure he’s actually a short white Jew.
But, I mean, really, who needs two good femurs?
Oh Snap! Guess what I saw, Oh Snap! Guess what I saw, Oh Snap! Guess what I saw.
Broke my femur snowboarding 3 years ago. Not only is the bone break incredibly serious, but a major artery (femoral) winds it’s way around the femur. If the break severs the artery, it could lead to pulmonary embolisms which can kill you very quickly.
That being said, they’ll probably put a titanium implant on the bone, and if his injury is like mine he’ll be walking within a few weeks. Modern medical science is fucking amazing.
Not sure if he’ll be able to play again, but I hope he recovers… I feel his pain.
Did anyone notice they didnt stabilize the leg as they carted him off the field? They just drove REAL SLOW.
“Careful guys, this thing might fall off!”
Too bad, now the Vikings LBs don’t have a leg to stand on.
/too soon?
Napoleon says it ain’t gross unless you rupture an artery.
Let us all not forget Eduardo as the most grotesque injury.

Yes, that’s bone
Jesus. Over in the Baskets Ball world Greg Oden just fractured his kneecap. This is just the week for Fucking Sick Leg Injuries
also i think mcgahee’s knee in college is at least equal in terms of gross
Agreed. Though back in the day, Steve McNair would have played the rest of the game after this.
ouch. :-/
makes me think of another injury that happened in the belgian football league a few months ago…

I’ll take the Under and just hope that he keeps the leg.
freshman year of HS hockey i was about 8-12 feet from a guy who had his femur snapped in 2. the screaming was unforgettable. also i think mcgahee’s knee in college is at least equal in terms of gross.
That’s hideous! Disgusting! Brutal!
And I can’t stop watching it!
/hopes he gets better and is able to play next season.
@joe wade
It was against Ohio State, but yes, that was the worst. Right after the Fiesta Bowl, I went to a bar with a bunch of other people who had been at the game (where they didn’t show the replay). When ESPN finally showed it on SportsCenter that night, it sounded like 1000 people were collectively not trying to throw up the beer they just drank.
this is nuthin compared to what happened to Willis McGahee when he was at Miami. During the national championship game against florida state he bent his entire leg in half kina like how a flamingo walks. It was bad but it was only made worse by the fact that ABC showed it close-up about 15 times.
easily coolest injury i’ve ever seen
Wow. One usually has to screw up a sky-dive to do that kind of damage. Hell, he was just *Running*!!!
Maybe these guys are getting too fast and too big. Nawwww……
(gets ready for MondayNightFootball-Kakke)
OMFG! Is there any further reports on his status? The way his leg whipped around, I’d be worried the broken bone could sever the arteries/nerves & he could possibly lose the leg. The physical price players pay is astounding.
Are you not entertained?
/gratuitous Gladiator reference
//pray he walks again
John Kerry likes the way his leg flip flopped.
no slight intended, Mr. Flubby, sir.
And congrats to your Raiders.
And I think one of y’all is a Seahawk fan too, if I’m not mistaken. Hey, a win is a win.
Ugh. It’s 7:00 AM PST, I have to work early and I was hoping all that shit about the Vikings last night was a just a bad dream. It was not. On a positive note, one of those goddamn pop-ups finally became useful and covered up the injury gif.
Yes but did he suffer a concussion on the play
Seriously?
There’s a reason why it’s called the Theisman Award
Did you see THAT GUY? I mean, THAT GUY has to HURT!
Followed up with Gruden’s even more ridiculous “That’s why I call that guy THE PAIN”.
/leaves disgusted as post was too obvious.
God, what a tough weekend for KSK. Stillers falling to Count Davis, Washington finding the most heartbreaking way to lose possible and Minnesota just getting beat on both sides of the ball. Makes me happy I’m a… Bills fan? Yeah, I still come out on the short end of the stick on this one, guys.
God, what a tough weekend for KSK.
Not for all of us.
/voting Gradkowski for MEAST
Well now you can just plug in Erin Henderson. The Terps didn’t develop the 18 Henderson brothers for nothing.
/Eric Wood’s ghastly injury already forgotten
Favre 4 MVP!!!!!
Now he’ll have to change his name to rhyme with “Heisman”
/Yes, that MaineAsshole sort of beat me to it.
ow ow ow ow ow ow
Yeeeesh. Wow.
By the by, did anyone else notice that the headline for Don Banks’s column in SI this morning is “St. Louis Cardinals storm back into NFC picture”? It truly is a remarkable league where, on any given Sunday, the 10-1 Vikings can be beaten by a baseball team. Or a football team that last played during the Reagan Administration.
I am revolted, yet cannot look away. It’s like the leg would just float away if not for the pants.
Joe Theismann is not impressed.
