Y: "Oh My, what did he injure?"
X: "He is dead."

Clippers guard Shaun Livingston last year completely blowing out his knee on a breakaway layup. The way the leg bent when he landed -- and how loud he was screaming in pain on the radio call -- send chills down my spine.
What about that baseball player that snapped his ankle early entirely off running past first? His foot was hanging on by a little bit of skin on one side only.
Tim Krumrie's floppy leg in the Super Bowl was fun.
But the worst was the kickboxer dude who broke his leg and then tried to stand on it... it hurts just thinking about it...
Well, considering I was watching the Loyola Marymount game on ESPN when Hank Gathers dropped dead after a dunk.
My memory of Theisman's injury isn't the injury itself, which ranks at the top of the nasty level, but of Lawrence Taylor on the sideline puking into a Gatorade bucket.
I was at the game when Tom Tilley's skate gashed Malarchuk...the speed with which the blood gushed from him was amazing, how quickly the ice turned red underneath him.
