Texas Tech Football Player On Scooter Collides With Bus; Bus Gets The Worst Of It
This is what happened to the campus shuttle bus that collided this morning with Austin Stewart, a safety for the Texas Tech football team. Stewart was riding his motorized scooter when the collision occurred. He was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital to be evaluated, but a Texas Tech spokesman ...
Jason Bay Is Bad At Defense And Also At Not Hurting Himself
Jason Bay has never been known for his glove (or hasn't he?), and in recent years he hasn't been known for his bat. So maybe that's why he gave 110 percent last night in trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of Gregor Blanco. A valiant effort, and a ton of glove on the ball, but all Bay has t...
Here Is Another Gruesome Aussie Football Leg Injury
This time, it was Gary Rohan of the Sydney Swans. During the Swans' match against North Melbourne, Ryan had his feet tangled with an opposing player's and ended up with the bottom of his foot facing upward and a compound fracture of his tibia. He will miss the rest of the season....
Umpire Greg Gibson Took A Stephen Strasburg Fastball To The Crotch
Ump Greg Gibson, behind the plate for today's Nats-Marlins matchup, was in a Very Bad Place today when Wilson Ramos mishandled a Stephen Strasburg fastball and deflected it right into Gibson's groin area. Gibson bounced back rather quickly—most MLB umps wear cups when working the plate, after all...
Aussie Footballer Robbie Gray Liquefied His Knee
Robbie Gray, the leading goal kicker for Port Adelaide Power last year, suffered this gruesome looking knee injury with less than a minute left to play in a game against Collingwood at Etihad Stadium....
The Suns Shut Down And Beat Up Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin was unstoppable in the first quarter, going 7-for-13 from the field. Phoenix regrouped, and turned the game into something more closely rembling Atari's Basketbrawl, and what do you know: it worked. Griffin didn't score another field goal the rest of the game....
Chris Young's Hustle Earns Him A DL Trip
Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young flung himself into the Chase Field wall to corral Pedro Alvarez's long fly. X-rays were negative, but an MRI today showed...something. Young is on the DL with what's only being called a "shoulder contusion," and the D-Backs didn't even win the game. The lesson her...
Marian Hossa Was Stretchered Off The Ice After This Brutal Hit From Raffi Torres [UPDATE]
In a Stanley Cup playoffs on pace to smash records for game misconducts, it appears its most dangerous hit to date will be one that escaped on-ice punishment. In the first period of tonight's Game Three, Coyotes enforcer Raffi Torres left his feet to hit the Blackhawks' Marian Hossa; Hossa was un...
Andrew Shaw Earned A Game Misconduct After Leveling Phoenix Goalie Mike Smith With This Headshot
Chicago winger Andrew Shaw drew a five-minute charging penalty and game misconduct after this incident in the second period of tonight's Game Two matchup between the Blackhawks and Coyotes in Phoenix in which Shaw dropped Mike Smith with a shot to the head....
Jacoby Ellsbury Placed On Disabled List After Dislocating His Shoulder Yesterday
It's been a tough April for the Red Sox. They're in last place in the East and are still dealing with the hangover of last September's epic collapse. Centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury can't be blamed for either. He was the best position player in the American League last year (321/.375/.552, 32 HR), a...
Dwight Howard Out With A Herniated Disc, Now Has More Time To Fire Stan Van Gundy
Dwight Howard has been busy this year. In addition to playing basketball, he spent much of the season wrestling with the dilemma over to whom the fatally dysfunctional Orlando Magic should trade him. Howard then reversed course and decided to stay, put on his GM suit and asked the front office to tr...
JaVale McGee Sent Kevin Love To The Hospital With A Concussion
In a season of JaVale McGee doing awesome things—intentionally or unintentionally—his latest act is decidedly less so, as an inadvertent elbow decked Kevin Love and sent the Timberwolves star to the hospital with a concussion in the first quarter of last night's bout in Denver....
The Cavaliers' Mascot Had To Go To The Hospital Because David West Punched Him In The Eye
It's all fun and games until an NBA player lands a punch that sends a man in a giant dog costume to the hospital. This was the scene before last night's Pacers-Cavs game at Quicken Loans Arena, according Tom Reed of the Plain Dealer, who reported the story with the all the seriousness it deserved:...
Rory McIlroy Drops Ball, Injures His Own, Amuses Golf Channel Commentators
Golf Channel analysts couldn't come up with enough puns to joke about an unfortunate incident this morning at Augusta when Rory McIlroy couldn't snatch a ball tossed to him by his caddy and it resulted in a bit of pain down south. It didn't seem to hurt his golf play, though—his front nine today h...
Ty Lawson's Crossover Dribble Literally Busted Ryan Anderson's Ankle
It's generally the go-to descriptor for an effective crossover dribble: "He broke the defender's ankles." Usually, this is a considerable exaggeration—but don't tell Magic forward Ryan Anderson that, because his ankle rolled over like a Suzuki Samurai while trying to guard Ty Lawson late in last ni...
The Flyers' Wayne Simmonds Scored A Goal With His Face
Wayne Simmonds was a bloody mess after scoring a goal with his face in the second period of Philadelphia's 4-3 shootout loss to Ottawa today, but credit to the Flyers' winger for showing toughness and returning to help his team force overtime after being down 3-0. Still, though, wearing a visor w...
Sidney Crosby Was Knocked Out Of Tonight's Game By A Puck To The Face
Poor Sid Crosby just can't catch a break. He can, however, catch a puck in the nose, as happened tonight at Nassau during the second period of the Penguins' clash with the Islanders. Crosby—just a few weeks returned from yet another lengthy tenure off the ice due to concussion symptoms—actually ma...
This Is The 911 Call Of Joba Chamberlain's Trampoline Injury
The New York Daily News got this the other day, but it just came to our attention. As you can hear in the audio above, Joba Chamberlain's injury was reported as a "compound fracture" of the ankle. The bone had come all the way through the skin, and there was blood, though the caller can be heard to...
Trampoline Wars: Rebounderz And AirHeads Battle Over Where Joba Chamberlain Was Injured
We didn't ask for this, to get caught up in Florida's trampoline arena turf war. We just wanted to point out the incongruity of a major league ballplayer suffering a horrific injury at a child's playplace. But there's no going back....
An Ohio State Superfan Was Hospitalized By A Flying Turkey
If all you know about Ohio is from watching WKRP, you might think that turkeys can't fly. Not so, claims Ohio State superfan John Chubb—better known as "Buck-I-Guy"—who claims one of the birds smashed through his windshield as he returned from the Buckeyes' 3rd-round win over Gonzaga last weekend....
