What about the 49er who was taken out of the game on a cart because he injured himself trotting off the sidelines, tripped over his own feet I guess. He goes down and we almost missed the whole thing because it was coming off a commercial break. These men have tanks coming at them, they're manhandled by men the size of refrigerators, yet this guy stubs his toe and is out of the game.
Yeah, total flukes happen. I see it all the time in pro wrestling, which I'm a fan of.
People can hate on the "flippy shit" that pervades the business today, but believe it or not, those spectacular moves are SAFER than the mundane stuff.
Twice, I've seen people break their legs on a common baseball-slide evasive move, among other things.
Last year, Adam Cole broke his foot by...stepping down off the raised ramp. Whole storyline derailed, because of something he'd done hundreds of times.
Sounds like something Artie Donovan would do. He spoke at our school (late 80’s). We was hilarious, completely self-depreciating and thought provoking.
It just seems strange to me that he didn't tear his fucking achilles tendon being slammed to the ground and then piled on by mountainous men, but tears it trotting off the sidelines. It's BECAUSE sports is not a new thing for me (raising 3 boys who played all of them), that I find it suspect.

All part of the script.
Yeah, especially the SB. The TD of the Chiefs where the QB threw a pass to the guy standing in the endzone waiting with no one near him, suspicious.
A few years ago, I broke my ankle after tripping when getting off the toilet.
I buy that this can happen.
Now that sounds like something I would do

There was an old football player who went on talk shows in the 70s and said that he played once with a broken arm. I wish I could remember his name.

Art Donovan seems like the right name. I think that's what is stuck in my memory.
Look (on YT, sorry) for interviews he did. Artie will have you in hysterics.
He tore is fucking achilles tendon. What is wrong with you people? Is sports a new thing for you?

Yes, that was the story. 18 regular season games. 2 games post season. Last game, he pulls a hammy walking onto the field???
Come the fuk on. Lets get serious for a second. No fukin way.
For many, yes.
From tripping? How clutzy do you have to be to accomplish this? Do you know how much force it would take?
