Not sport related, but I broke my ankle last year slipping on my 4 year old's elsa wig.


Weirdest one for me was "turf toe".


I had heard the term many times when watching NFL games and hearing a player was out of the game because of it---------------and I just scoffed at that.

That is, until it happened to me and it was such a freakish injury to boot. I was coming down a flight of stairs that were carpeted while in sock feet. I mis stepped and the carpet quickly pulled the toe of my sock toward my heel and I heard a pop.

Yep, turf toe and that crap hurt like hell with even the slightest pressure on my big toe. Changed my mind then and there about the severity of that injury.

The GOAT:

“During his Major League Baseball career, infielder Kazuo "Kaz" Matsui notably missed time during spring training and the start of the 2008 season with the Houston Astros due to surgery to repair an anal fissure.”

Still have no clue why they just didn’t tell everyone he slipped and fell down.

until posting the gif, I forgot it was just a 43 yard FG to put them up 3-0 in the first quarter vs. doing that for a game winner makes it even better

sneezing and pulling a back muscle, putting a player out of game, it does happen tho.

mike matheny getting a new fishing knife, and cutting his hand up, causing him to not be able to play in playoffs. He couldnt hit, but was hell of a defensive catcher, framing and calling games.
