  1. Panthers beat the Pack at Lambeau...guess that was a pretty decent beat down after all
  2. Pats look like they got away with a blatant pick
  3. Falcons essentially gave the game to the Pats with a boneheaded intentional grounding at the NE 48 that lost 10 yards and then an incomplete pass...punted it back to them inside of 2 minutes with only 2 TOs. 1 FD ends the game.
  4. Colts look like a freaking machine
  5. I mean seriously Washington?? That's why you are a bum. Two chances to make a play and 0 points. The second one hits you right in your prodigious gut that should have vacuumed it in but clearly he couldn't even catch that.
  6. Guess that means the Bills win the Super Bowl!
  7. Talk about blowing it over the last 2 games
  8. Toronto's bullpen is such trash
  9. You have GOT to be kidding me...Dodgers having Chiefs type "It's God's Will" luck right now.
  10. I cannot believe they let that bum tie the game...
  11. Feel free to add to the list...this is just what I came up with
  12. Yeah that was one I wrestled with and probably should have added Haha, I forgot about the Kevin Kolb incident
  13. So after reading the practice/warmup thread about injuries and noting the situation with Richardson, I thought it would be a fun expose to go back thru history and note the craziest injuries that have happened in the NFL and try and lighten the mood here ahead of the Chiefs game since it's been a little too much down in the dumpster. Top 10 list of wackiest all-time NFL injuries: 1) Turk Edwards(HOF-OT) Redskins, 1940: The Coin Toss Terror After winning a coin toss at midfield prior to the game as team captain, Edwards excitedly turned and went to run off the field. His cleat got caught in the turf and he ended up tearing knee ligaments, ending his season, and effectively, his career. 2) Bill Gramatica(K) - Cardinals, 2001: The Celebratory ACL After making a first quarter FG to give the Cardinals an early 3 points, an excited Gramatica jumped up in the air to celebrate with his teammates, landed and tore his ACL. 3) Gus Frerotte(QB) - Redskins, 1997: The Headbutt Heard Round DC After scoring a touchdown, Frerotte headbutted a padded wall in joy. Sadly, he found out the wall was a lot harder than his teammates helmets and injured his neck. He had to go to the hospital mid-game. His wife later said, “He’s okay. Just… Gus.” 4) Chris Hanson(P) - Jaguars, 2003: Keep Chopping Wood Gone Wrong Coach Jack Del Rio brought an axe and wood to the locker room for motivation. Hanson took a swing, missed, and gashed his leg badly with the hatchet, landing on IR the rest of the year. The team quietly retired that motivational tactic. 5) Plaxico Buress(WR) - Giants, 2008: The Nightclub Gunshot Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg with an unlicensed gun at a New York nightclub. He was both injured and imprisoned, making it perhaps the most infamous self-inflicted NFL injury ever. 6) Nate Burleson(WR) - Lions, 2013: The Pizza Rescue Car Crash Driving home with pizza in the passenger seat, Burleson saw it sliding off the seat. He reached to save it… lost control of his SUV… and broke his arm in the crash. DiGiorno later gave him a year of free pizza for his trouble. 7) Lamar Houston(DE) - Bears, 2014: The Sack Celebration Dance that hurt Down 48–23 to the Patriots, Houston finally got a sack, on the backup quarterback. He jumped to celebrate… and blew out his ACL when he landed. Even Patriots fans cringed. 8 ) Jason Pierre-Paul(DE) - Giants, 2015: The Fireworks Fiasco Fourth of July fireworks exploded in his hand. He lost part of his index finger and had to completely rebuild his grip to play again. The Giants still re-signed him later, a testament to how dominant he was even with a mangled hand. 9) Kellen Winslow(TE) - Browns, 2005: Motorcycle Mayhem Despite a strict no-motorcycle clause in his contract, Winslow went joyriding and crashed. He tore multiple ligaments and missed the entire season. When reporters asked what happened, he said, “I’m a soldier.” (He was not.) 10) Brian Griese(QB) - Broncos, 2002: Dog Pee Slip and Slide Reportedly slipped on his dog’s urine at home and sprained his ankle. He tried to downplay it, but teammates never let him live it down. Proof that even man’s best friend can blitz you unexpectedly. Honorable Mention: 11) Orlando Brown(OT)- Browns, 1999: Blinded by a Flying Flag During a 1999 game, Cleveland Browns tackle Orlando “Zeus” Brown was accidentally struck in the eye by a referee’s weighted penalty flag, tearing his cornea and partially blinding him. In pain and thinking it was intentional, he shoved the ref and was suspended, but the NFL later lifted the suspension and paid him a multi-million-dollar settlement. He missed three seasons before making an incredible comeback in 2003.
  14. I mean Anthony Richardson put himself on IR warming up with a resistance band and giving himself and orbital bone fracture. Takes a special type of talent to do that.
  15. Surprised it took this long. Never had any sort of plan, just whatever he felt like year to year it seemed.
