Thirdborn Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Anthony Phillips was the guy hit by Kelly, and it was a pretty similar injury to Wood's. It occurred in the 1995 season. He played the next season: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PhilAn20.htm Thanks, gives me some hope for wood ( no pun intended ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellDressed Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 This one is still the worst...I rememebr seeing it on tv when it happened ouch Dan Dierdorf says, "Don't look at this if you don't want to see it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 BTW, I'm not old enough to remember what happened to Bills RB Roger Kochman in 1963 when he dislocated his knee so badly all the blood vessels and nerves were torn, but it was described by many Bills vets as the most horrific injury they'd ever seen. He almost lost his leg. That sounds like the injury Napoleon McCallum had for the Raiders. They had to rush him to the hospital for emergency surgery to stop the internal bleeding in the knee. They almost amputated the leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uforesircher Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I still gotta go with LT on Theisman as the worst I've ever seen, hurts just thinking about it That is what I think also. That was just brutal to see - couldn't even watch the reply it was so bad. I got a sick feeling when I thought about it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was at the game where Theismann had his leg broken...we were in the end zone and with all the bodies in the pileup, we didn't see how bad it was. I remember LT jumping up and down trying to get the Skins' medical staff on the field. Also remember looking in the binocs up at Jack Kent Cooke's box and you could see all the commotion going on...his wife (girlfriend?) at the time was Cathy Lee Crosby and you could see her and others scampering around, visably shaken.

bbb Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Now after seeing Woods and all these other ones, I looked at Theisman's and I thought that would be the worst, but it's about the same as Woods.......That one last year where the college player ran into the cart was very ugly.

Big Turk Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Kelly throws an interception against the Falcons, runs the guy down and plants his helmet on the side of the guys leg.Leg snaps in half and his foot touches his outer thigh. anyone know who this was and if he ever played again? I don't remember seeing that, but I would have to rank McGahee's swinging knee in the national championship game up there with the worst...

justnzane Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I remember Rich Seubert of the Giants snapping his leg and waving frantically to get help from the sidelines immediately. he now has a titanium rod in his leg, but is a hell of a lineman for Elizabeth Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster4324 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Kelly throws an interception against the Falcons, runs the guy down and plants his helmet on the side of the guys leg.Leg snaps in half and his foot touches his outer thigh. anyone know who this was and if he ever played again? I was talking to a fellow Buffalo fan on the phone when it happened. I wasn't paying close attention, so remarked, "That will teach him to intercept Kelly." I hear gagging noises on the phone before my friend replies,, "Did you see what happened? His leg wrapped around his other leg." I looked up to see the replay. I honestly couldn't watch football for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The worst injury I have ever seen was in the early nineties, when the raiders fullback had his leg pop out of his hip socket and turn around. I dont remember the guys name. He played with Napoleon Kaufman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I remember Theisman, Krumrie, McCallum, Anthony Phillips & McGahee. Those were all very brutal. I think Theisman is still the worst, although it was shocking to watch Phillips' leg moving every way a leg should not be moving. I felt terrible for McGahee too, my first reaction after I saw the replay was, he may never play football again. Eric Wood's injury was quite similar to Theisman's, very difficult to watch. I pray that Wood will be alright. Seeing the pain on his face as he was being carried off the field is just as bad as seeing his leg get crushed. Another moment that no one has mentioned yet was when Don Beebe had his leg broken in the 1990 season against the Dolphins. IIRC he took a helmet in the back of his leg and it was not a pretty sight. Some people thought his career was over after that, thankfully it was'nt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I thought about that one, too........I was at the game and didn't see how ugly it was. But, the sure came back OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
