JaMarcus Russell's #1 Caucasian Fan Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Worst non-catastrophic injury: I would go with Grant Hill breaking his ankle in the 99 playoffs. he has never been the same after that. Favorite memory of an athlete getting hurt: One of the Gramatica brothers celebrating a field goal and tearing his knee up. That was pretty funny.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 That would be Bill Gramatica, though I think Martin injured his leg in a similarly absurd situation as well.
CanadianChris Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Speaking of injuries, what's your favorite memory of a pro athlete getting hurt? I wouldn't exactly call it my favourite memory, but my most vivid memory is of Dave Dravecky throwing a pitch and snapping his arm in half against the Expos.
Red Baron Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 My most vivid memory is when Luke Richardson levelled Tony Granato at Maple Leaf Gardens. Granato was going into the offensive zone hard, and Richardson clocked him with a shoulder. Granato suffered a concussion on the play, but what was most memorable about the injury was Granato sliding on the ice from the blue line to the corner of the rink.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 What's the worst non-catastrophic-injury physical breakdown you can think of? No Joe Theismann's here. Just a good athlete gone completely to shit quickly. Lou Gehrig 1937: Best hitter in American League 1939: 4-28 1941: Dead
treble Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 breaking his femur and his leg flopping all over the place.
MFer Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I've only seen the clip a couple times (and I can't find it anywhere right now) but some Bears WR named Wendell Davis tore BOTH his patella tendons while running a route during a game at the Vet back in '93.
Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 New question... Who had the better career, Thomas Hearns or Marvin Hagler?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 New question... Who had the better career, Thomas Hearns or Marvin Hagler? Hagler. Better reputation, fewer high profile losses, and probably has less of a slurr currently.

Just a good athlete gone completely to shit quickly. Lou Gehrig 1937: Best hitter in American League 1939: 4-28 1941: Dead Best possible answer. How many NFL players, in your opinion, were better at their respective position than Jerry Rice at WR?

Red Baron Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Should Baseball come back to Canada, say Vancouver?

How many NFL players, in your opinion, were better at their respective position than Jerry Rice at WR? Jim Brown and Barry Sanders - Running back First of all, if you're going to talk about Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, you have to include Walter Payton. He was the complete all-around running back you wanted. Second of all, only Barry Sanders can claim to be a better at RB than Jerry Rice was the best WR.
CanadianChris Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Should Baseball come back to Canada, say Vancouver? If you're talking about the majors, no. Canada can't even support the minor league teams it has anymore. Vancouver has a team in the Northwest League (A-ball), and they draw about 3500, which is around half-capacity. It says something when you can only get a single-A team in the third-largest city in Canada. Incidentally, I went to a game the last time I was out there and had a blast. I even won the second inning door prize, a hedge trimmer worth $100. That was fun taking with me on the plane back home.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Most of the old AAA standbys (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton) picked up teams in the Northern League. Ottawa is joining the CanAm League this season. I'd love to see some Canadian teams get together and form their own independent league.

Not even a half of a season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Baseball_League is link for the "league". It was a good premise, but it suffered a bad fate.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Who's the geekiest athlete in history? John Stockton? Rance Mulliniks? Davis Love III?
KingPK Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Stockton is the whitest athlete in history. Geekiest? Curt Schilling: has a blog, stays up all night playing WoW, started a game designing company. Geek.
Vern Gagne Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Lew Ford once brought his home computer on a road trip, when his laptop wasn't working.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Should Baseball come back to Canada, say Vancouver? What, the Blue Jays aren't good enough for you? Or is Toronto not part of Canada any longer?

Red Baron Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 Who had the best draft in sports history? My answer. 1980 Edmonton Oilers. Paul Coffey, Jarri Kurri and Andy Moog.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 The New York Yankees drafted both Fred McGriff and John Elway in 1981.

Kahran Ramsus Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Who had the best draft in sports history? I would have to say the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers that got 4 Hall of Famers out of that draft (Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth & Mike Webster).
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Will the Arizona Cardinals win the NFC West before 2012?
Red Baron Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Maybe. It will all depend on after this season and how fall Seattle will fall.
