Did any of you younguns see Theismanns leg get snapped?

[whalewager]

I would bet that there are several young greenhorns that didnt see it happen.

Gruesome.

It made McGahee's knee look like a sprain

Yeah.....do you remember that Letterman made the Joe Theisman pencil sharpener, where his leg was in place of the crank that turns the sharpener?

I saw it and countless replays warning me to turn away. One of the most brutal sights in football. Of course I really haven't like Theisman since he changed the pronunciation of his name to rhyme with Heisman. LOL.:nohead:

 

[whalewager]

Yep///love me some Letterman.

 

[whalewager]

I have always liked him...many dont...I think he knows football better than most...most just dont like his personality.

I had 4 dimes on Wash -3-1/2 in that game. At the time it was the biggest wager I ever made. My recollection is that they couldn't tackle Joe Morris and Jay Shroeder (who I had never heard of) was better than Theisman. By some miracle the Skins were up 4 with 30 seconds left and it was 4th and 10 for the Giants. A DB on the Skins picked off the pass on 4th down and decides he must try and run with it, hold the ball like a loaf of bead and looking for blockers. The game was so stressful I wanted to murder him. Thankfully he didn't fumble it back to the Giants.

spot on...i believe the coke head was the one that fell on his leg if im not mistaken.

Don't get me wrong, I liked his style on the field and he is very knowledgeable about the game but that name change was so bush league. Laughable IMO

 

[whalewager]

It was and still is the worst I have seen. I remember tv playing it over and over again...snapped in half...

 

[Darwinian]

i was watching it live

Napolean McCallum- his knee bent sideways almost at a right angle and almost snapped in half.

YES!!!! Thank you. It was equal to Theisman's, I think. Saw 'em both live ov tv. What ever happened to McCullum? Didn't he try to make a comeback? Hell, I'm sitting at a computer that has one of them google thangs...
