What's the worst sports related injury you've ever had?

Paintrain · 11-08-2006, 03:20 PM

In high school I was playing safety on a cold, nasty, rainy Saturday (damn upstate NY!) and went to make a tackle and got bent back by the pile.. Sprained my ACL, if it was a dry day my cleats would have stuck and it would have torn..

More recently, playing pickup basketball about 12 years ago I reached in to try to strip someone of the ball and suffered a compound fracture/disclocation of my left middle finger.. They had to remove the ligament on the inside of the finger because it was shredded and I still cannot straighten it all the way up.. It looks a little like a question mark..
