Re: Third-worst sports injury I\'ve ever seen

You just made the argument for McCallum's being worse. Theismann's injury is all about hype and the players involved, the injury itself doesn't stand up to McCallum's without all the external factors.

McCallum's was about a joint bending the wrong direction.
Theismann's was about a leg bending where there was no joint.

therefore mccallum almost necessarily has to be more severe.
a joint has like 3000000 (i'm not an anatomist) things that prevent it from bending thataways. a bone is surrounded by muscle.
either way, they both looked pretty painful.
