re: Did yall see the injury to the Chiefs player today in the Raiders game?

Prothro's was way worse.

Agree - I remember watching when he went to the ground arse over tea-kettle; When his broken leg was up in the air the section from mid-shin down was flopping around like a broken fly-swatter. It was horrible to watch.

Also saw Theisman get his lower leg snapped in half - just as gruesome.

Thornton's injury looked bad as well at first - foot sticking out at an angle that's just unnatural in any sense of the word. Like I said, though, I was amazed at his pain tolerance when he first tried to stand up on it and then just laid back down and pointed to it.

Football is a rough game, man. And these days, with the players just getting stronger and faster it seems like we're getting close to the tolerance levels a human body can withstand before breaking.

And many times it doesn't even require contact for a player to get hurt. How many different players exited the games yesterday with non-contact injuries? Quite a few IIRC.
