- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Here's a (crappy) YouTube video of the hit
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2weKmGtemn8- bbommarito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Is it just me, or does it look like Travis(?) was celebrating after Trent was down on the ground?
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10kinda. he wasn't celebrating. He started talking ***** cuz he was undercut. He later told the press that he regretted it and that he didn't know that Green was hurt so bad. He said that he felt frustrated and thought it was a cheap tackle.
He also got flagged for taunting...- sacherjj, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8If by later you mean far AFTER the game was over. Just after the game he was still talking about how much of a cheap shot Trent took on him. Pretty low class.
- hack58, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I don't mean to be a football Nazi but what you mean was that he thought Green went for a cheap "block", not a tackle. You tackle someone with the ball, you block others.
- cawpin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4It was a cheap block. He dove in front of his legs. That's what happens. I hope he recovers.
- quomen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It's not a cheap block, it's called a cut block. It's also completely in the open field, so it's not dirty at all.
- saleem, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9yeah he was taunting the unconscious guy... pretty messed up.
- stubear, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2He was celebrating and got a penalty for unsportsmanlike behavior. The penalty helped Miami to a touchdown and ultimately the win. That being said, Trent Green got what he deserved. There was NOTHING malicious in what Travis Johnson did since he wasn't even looking at Green. Green took Johnson out at the legs with his shoulder but he let his head get in the way as well and when the knee of a 315-pound tackle meets someone's head, they are going to see stars and birdies.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10they lost the game.
- vtron, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4A career ending injury is what you deserve for a perfectly legal block? Where do you come up with this logic.
As an NFL player you have to have your head on a swivel or you'll get blindsided. It's something I'm sure Travis Johnson has done to other people. He's obviously a class act, taunting someone laying motionless on the ground then still talking ***** after the game. - rondeth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2The argument here is that some contend that what Green did is one of the most ***** things you can do on the football field, go for someone's knees when they're not aware of it. The Bronco line gets ***** for their cut blocking, but there's nothing that can be done since it's perfectly legal and at least the D-linemen are facing off against the people who will be going for the knees. IIRC, Green took his shoulder/helmet and aimed at what seemed to be Johnson's knee area...it didn't look as intentional as that Pats' lineman's 'fall' into J.P. Losman, though. If it WAS intentional (only Green knows for sure), hell yeah he deserved it. If not, it's an unfortunate occurrence. Getting 'blindsided' (blown up) without being aware of it is fine; the knee shot, though, is a completely different animal.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10kinda. he wasn't celebrating. He started talking ***** cuz he was undercut. He later told the press that he regretted it and that he didn't know that Green was hurt so bad. He said that he felt frustrated and thought it was a cheap tackle.
- mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2From someone who's had a few hockey related concussions... they are no joke. Each concussion is easier to get than the one before. This guy should retire, no reason to keep playing and potentially screw up his life.
- bbommarito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Is it just me, or does it look like Travis(?) was celebrating after Trent was down on the ground?
- bitmanx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Trent is a good guy on and off the field, very unfortunate for him and his family..
- skatastrophy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11He really shouldn't have gone for Travis' knees though. That could have ended both of their careers just as easily.
It sucks when this happens to pretty young guys- anonymous6237, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah because I'm sure the QUARTERBACK was specifically going for a guys knees and not just trying to block someone (who weighs twice as much as him) the only way he possibly could. Had Trent gone anywhere but the ground Travis would have bulldozed him and not even lost a step.
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2That's cool that you know Green off the field, do you two have like bbq's and stuff?
- anonymous6237, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1deleted
- TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1He deserved it. He was going for a low blow with the knees. That can ruin a football player's career.
- skatastrophy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11He really shouldn't have gone for Travis' knees though. That could have ended both of their careers just as easily.
- danceparty, on 10/14/2007, -35/+3who's Trent Green?
- Lafftermath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I'll take a stab from the first line of the description and guess the Miami Dolphins Quarterback.
- murraj2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14What's Google?
- hockey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8danceparty did you have a concussion too?
- MerryMortician, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Thats the same ***** that Trent Green said when he woke up.
- Scumbunny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Steve Young and Kurt Warner's cousin.
- shirtninjay, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25Man, that's too bad for Trent Green. I hate to see that kind of injury happen to anyone.
I bet Fins fans are wishing they drafted Brady Quinn instead of Ted Ginn Jr now.- c0d3b0y, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Or they're wishing they had kept Daunte Culpepper
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3no. he played for ***** with us. why he's playing good for the Raiders? i dunno.
- rondeth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe he needed more time to heal? I dunno either. Moss is lighting ***** up in NE, and I've heard other Raider fans say "why didn't he do that for the Raiders"? Um, maybe because they've been the most dreadful team in the league the past few years?
Anyway, good luck with your season.- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1we dont need luck...we need marino back :'(
- rondeth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe he needed more time to heal? I dunno either. Moss is lighting ***** up in NE, and I've heard other Raider fans say "why didn't he do that for the Raiders"? Um, maybe because they've been the most dreadful team in the league the past few years?
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3no. he played for ***** with us. why he's playing good for the Raiders? i dunno.
- Antimatter3009, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Or John Joseph Harrington, for that matter.
- theblueprint, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, that reminds me... I should send Miami a thank-you card.
- c0d3b0y, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Or they're wishing they had kept Daunte Culpepper
- brandonvan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Qb's shouldnt try to cut block. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
- praveens, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7i guess he had no option for a 300+ lb guy as jerome bettis argued on Nbc.. was really unfortunate though
- sovereign3, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13I'm not defending Johnson's taunting and his reaction after the game, AT ALL. However, Green's cut block was a very cheap shot and he could have ended Johnson's career career he blew out the guy's knees. Green shouldn't have tried to block him like that.
- allenjd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2All quarterbacks block like that. Though most are doing it running toward the defender so they go across his legs rather than having the knee slam into the side of the helmet.
- Jwoey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Admittedly, quarterbacks aren't the most skilled blockers, and aren't used to preparing for a proper block.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4exactly correct!
In that situation, you block head to head, or chest to chest... you don't undercut a 315lb lineman running at full speed. However, Johnson should NOT have taunted him afterwards.
- SnuKs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Yes, cut blocking is very dirty and I dont have condone it, but I guess Green didn't have any choice. I'm sure his intent wasn't to injure Johnson. Johnson was a total dick about it taunting Green while he laid unconscious.
It's funny how Johnson complained about getting injured, but when you look at it this way.. If Johnson had a clear path to Green, he'd try to hit him as hard as he can . That's how every lineman play. They dream of layin devestating hits.- BrokenVisage, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Yeah, because you KNOW he would have clobbered Green if he wasn't cut-down like that. Care to give me tonights lotto numbers too?
- SnuKs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I meant clear path for a sack ***** ;P
- BrokenVisage, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Yeah, because you KNOW he would have clobbered Green if he wasn't cut-down like that. Care to give me tonights lotto numbers too?
- zioxide, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4It's a perfectly legal block. That said, it shouldn't be because it's dangerous and can easily result in injury to either/both players.
- dalex1, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Inaccurate, and shoddy reporting by ESPN. Green suffered a level 3 concussion, and in the categories of concussions go up to level 6.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2not according to many different health websites out there.
http://www.muhealth.org/neuromed/concussion.shtml- allenjd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wikipedia, lists five grades but the only difference from grades three through five is the length of time the victim is unconscious.
- wbeavis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Wouldn't "most severe" kind of imply death?
/or was it a Bill and Ted's reference? - sovereign3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Can I see your MD?
- HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The NY times also reported a level 3 also saying it was the most sever....
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2not according to many different health websites out there.
- gillilandboy, on 10/10/2007, -11/+5Wow, 25 diggs and its already on the front page....slow day.
- Stormwysper, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Must be a slow day for you as well to report that.
- praveens, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3that was a hard hit...hope he gets well soon
- Bridea, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I had a concussion more severe (4 or a 5) that left me paralyzed on the right-side of my body for a day or two. Was in ICU for over a week. My balance has never been the same afterward, and I doubt his will be. Head hits this bad leave you with lifelong aftereffects. Occasional vertigo is another one.
- Lafftermath, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6And the moral of the story is, never try to block a 315 pound Tackle with your head.
- saltshaker2323, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey, it worked, didn't it?
- Bridea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It happened during a lacrosse game, on a drive to the goal. I scored, so I guess it *did* work...
- Scumbunny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And they say rugby is a violent sport...
- Lafftermath, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6And the moral of the story is, never try to block a 315 pound Tackle with your head.
- Crosshare, on 10/10/2007, -14/+21Can you believe what an idiot Travis Johnson was? Way to be tough and taunt a knocked out QB. Then he said it was a cheap shot. Yeah, because I'm sure Trent Green reads up on obscure rules and blocking procedures. (It's only illegal to block on the waist down if it's a fumble or INT) Props to Olberman for making him look like an ass.
- dpeasant, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9But what if Green was okay and shattered Travis Johnson's knee instead? Things would've been very different. I still agree that the taunting was stupid, regardless.
- sovereign3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I agree wholeheartedly. But no one on Digg has any sympathy for the guy who could have torn an ACL. Football is a violent sport and injuries are a part of the game, but Green put himself in a bad situation trying to cut block Johnson in the manner he did.
Green should really heavily consider retirement at this point. He's already had multiple concussions and this last one is quite severe. Unfortunately, he'll have symptoms for the rest of his life.- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2i agree.
- sovereign3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I agree wholeheartedly. But no one on Digg has any sympathy for the guy who could have torn an ACL. Football is a violent sport and injuries are a part of the game, but Green put himself in a bad situation trying to cut block Johnson in the manner he did.
- sovereign3, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4Olberman is an ass. He shouldn't be a guest host on SNF. He seems to bring a stench of pretentiousness whether he's hosting the Olbermann report or on SNF. He'll be out by the end of this season.
Johnson, however, was completely classless in his taunting of Green. Granted it was a cheap shot, Johnson should have at least displayed more class on the field that day. So unfortunate for both players.- imacashew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4On the field? 2 seconds after it happened? Let me ask you something...if you got t-boned in your Escalade by a Pinto...would you be perfectly calm immediately afterward until you were certain the guy hadn't sustained a serious injury? no...you'd be pissed.
On the other hand, his post game interview was horrid. No excuse...
- imacashew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4On the field? 2 seconds after it happened? Let me ask you something...if you got t-boned in your Escalade by a Pinto...would you be perfectly calm immediately afterward until you were certain the guy hadn't sustained a serious injury? no...you'd be pissed.
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12He didn't know the QB was knocked out. How was he supposed to know? Just because he was lying there for 3 seconds face down means he was knocked out? I was a linemen in high school and hell yeah, although that's a legal block, it's still a cheap shot. I can see how he was pissed off, a hit to the knees like that can end your career but at the same time, I see why Green would have to throw a block like that considering he could never take him down blocking him any other way. I see why Johnson was pissed, but still, it's football, and it is legal, you gotta deal with the rules, until they change the rules, watch out for your legs! He definitely shouldn't be holding a grudge the way he is though, especially since it is legal.
- Crosshare, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I agree with you. I played both sides of the line and detest cheap shots. But I didn't even know it was illegal to block the legs if it's a fumble or INT. Otherwise it would've been deemed ok. But he had to know he was knocked out. Laying face down in the turf that long with no movement? Then after he watched Green taken out on a stretcher he has to talk trash about him after the game? That's weak.
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1he taunted him like 4 seconds after he hit him, it wasn't that long at all. I agree the ***** talking was weak, but hey, as we both know, football is an extremely emotional game
- mike17032, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Because he was not moving at all? That dude clearly just landed where he fell, and was out cold.
- Crosshare, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I agree with you. I played both sides of the line and detest cheap shots. But I didn't even know it was illegal to block the legs if it's a fumble or INT.

Then after he watched Green taken out on a stretcher he has to talk trash about him after the game? That's weak.
- cobrabyte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4There wasn't enough time for Johnson to know that the QB was knocked unconscious. I'm thinking he probably thought he got the wind knocked out of him and was thinking about the cut block. I would probably do the same thing in the same situation ... hell, this guy could have just ended my career with that block. I'm sure that's all he was thinking.
The QB shouldn't have tried that block and Johnson was probably just feeling lucky because it doesn't take much to blow out your knees with a shot like that.
- dpeasant, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9But what if Green was okay and shattered Travis Johnson's knee instead? Things would've been very different. I still agree that the taunting was stupid, regardless.
- codehkr, on 10/10/2007, -16/+2Too much violence for a game where players are wearing tights...
- MaximusIGN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Thanks for the vid. Jeez, it's hard to imagine how even a football helmet couldn't stop the impact of a knee strike. They need to put that new material that absorbs energy into them.
- heinousjay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The helmets already provide a tremendous amount of protection. The only way to absorb the impact completely would involve immobilizing the neck as well.
- akatherder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's more cause by his neck snapping from one side to the other and his brain bouncing off of his skull from the momentum.
- cphelps, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13Don't concuss me bro!
- codehkr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Don't knee me bro!
- bigfatpaulie, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5It was a pretty dirty block Green threw at the guy's legs, and he just ended up getting the worst of it. You don't do that even if the other guy is bigger than you. Had he sacked up and threw a shoulder into him or something, he would have been better off. Unfortunate nonetheless.
- chesbomb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1as a person i feel bad for what happened, but as a dolphins fan, i have a hard time wanting to see trent green continue losing for the dolphins. let john beck play!
- jlungu, on 10/14/2007, -12/+5315-pound tackle Travis Johnson needs to be heavily fined and perhaps suspended for a game or two ... absolutely abhorrent sportsmanship. this is not UFC.
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5It's not like he walked up to the stretcher and laughed at Green in his face, when he taunted him, he had no way of knowing he was knocked out, players lay on the field all the time after the play for a little while when they're knocked up a bit.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Fined for what?! getting tackled?
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1what? he didn't get tackled at all, what are you talking about?
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2thats true.... Let me rephrase that...
Fined for what?! Getting undercut and doing a cartwheel in the air and landing awkwardly on his neck?
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2thats true.... Let me rephrase that...
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1what? he didn't get tackled at all, what are you talking about?
- b04155, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Did you actually watch the game or the replay at all? Johnson was looking the other way (and up I might add) towards the ball-carrier. Green came in low like he has trying to hit the knees. He succeeded, but with his head, not his shoulder.
I don't blame Johnson. QBs, kickers, punters, etc need to know when to get a big guy past and when to try a tackle / block. To boot, if they decide not to get in the mix, the coaches and other players should respect that decision. As for the fans booing.. who cares. - cobrabyte, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2This is the NFL ... not cricket. Johnson was pissed at the near-career-ending cut block that had just been applied. I would have done the Halo hump if it was me.
- thanakar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You have no clue what you are talking about jlungu. Sure johnson may have been a bit classless but he should no way be fined or suspended for his actions. Its football FFS, a violent sport full of machoism. Trent Green got exactly what he diserved for throwing such s stupid block.
- imacashew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No, it's not the UFC, but it is a full contact sport. Smack talk is part of the game... especially when someone cheap shots you with the potential of crippling you. It was a dumb move on Greens part and if he'd gotten up 2 seconds later we'd all be singing a different tune. Obviously when your adrinaline and anger are pumping you aren't as likely to realize (from a totally different angle than we and the refs saw) that someone may be severely injured. If you don't like the way the game is played...you need to go watch some synchronized swimming.
- CornmealMush, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Wrong dumbass, "smack talk" is not officially PART of the game. There is suppose to be a level of sportsmanship here which was obviously not displayed. It's retards like you that think it's O.K. to let in piece of ***** gang-trash that can't even pass an elementary math/speech class into major league sports. Result... you get brawls w/ fans, trash talking, and assholes all over the league being "role-models" for future generations. You can be a good player without ever opening your mouth.
- harajukukei, on 10/14/2007, -12/+0houston texans? are they an NFL team? i never heard of them but thats a retarded sports team name. i always thought the red sox was a stupid sports team name, but if they were the boston bostonians i think i would have to reevaluate what i consider stupid.
- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5actually that would be the boston massachusettians
- allenjd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Would it be the Boston Massachusetts-ians or whatever the word is?
- mt066, on 10/10/2007, -7/+6Travis Johnson is a piece of garbage. Watch the video. Green is in an unconscious heap when Johnson goes back taunting him. It doesn't even matter what happened before that. There's no redeeming aspect to his actions.
- thanakar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3*****, Johnson didnt' know that Green was unconcious. For all Johnson knew, Green was taking a breather.
- Treoinmypocket, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Uh-huh. You know you don't believe that.
- youasmedia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Green made a bitch move trying to cut block him at the knees and paid the price. There's a very good reason why you don't block a 200 pound guy's knees with your head and neck.
- thanakar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3*****, Johnson didnt' know that Green was unconcious. For all Johnson knew, Green was taking a breather.
- bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Hopefully he's smart enough to call it a career, Football doesn't need their own version of Chris Benoit.
- BOFH2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Chris had other issues, his steroid and prescription drug abuse amplified what was already there.
- bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1There have already been a small handful of NFL players who have had their deaths (possibly) come as a result of going frikkin nuts. How long until they take somebody with them like Benoit did?
- BOFH2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Chris had other issues, his steroid and prescription drug abuse amplified what was already there.
- jizzlies, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Didn't we know this was a risk all along. Way to go Dolphins. Nice f'in trade. Again.
- DrDigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I miss Marino
- AJRiddle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1...all the Chiefs got out of it was a 5th round draft pick. Big deal.
- CheapDigWannbe, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1"I hate to see that kind of injury happen to anyone." Why the ***** do you watch support (help pay) to continue football plays. If you hate to see things like that happening go watch golf.
- BOFH2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If QBs are going to get in the way of linemen then they need to be taught how to block. I hope he is okay and that he can play again but get out of the way if you have not been taught how to handle linemen.
- imacashew, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Trent Green really shouldn't have thrown any kind of block. Travis Johnson was already pretty far away from making that tackle and there were (as we saw 2 seconds later) two other defensemen ready right behind him. That block got him two yards at the most. I feel sorry for Green but the fact is to be an NFL quarterback you have to be talented AND smart. Sometimes you just have to realize your limitations and accept the fact that you've lost over ten yards on a botched play.
I don't wanna be a dick and say that he deserves the injury, but he sure did it to himself. - CheapDigWannbe, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1"very unfortunate for him and his family."
Hey I'll just stand in front of a small car approaching at 20mph for millions of dollars, and if I get hurt, will you say "unfortunate" to me? - commiecat, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1To everyone even trying to defend Travis Johnson: ***** off.
The only thing dirty was that dimwit talking smack to a motionless player. You know how players are supposed to tackle someone much larger than themselves? Go low. He wasn't cutting him -- you can clearly see that he was already going down sideways and the intent was to hit the thighs. That's how just about every cornerback in the league tackles RBs and FBs. What happens when a QB hits a DL up high? Probably something worse than a concussion.
***** Travis Johnson. If I were Trent Green, I'd interview and let it be known that I'll give any player double their fine if they end that punk's season.- Calcheesmo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"and the intent was to hit the thighs" - Disagreed. What the hell would hitting someone's thighs do? Here you come off all pissed and complaining about the people that defend johnson, like they are all immature babies, and then you say that you'd pay people to end the guy's season, wow. impressive.
- cjustice, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Hypothetical Questions:
What if...Green lands his block without getting knocked out, but in the process of throwing a legal and cheap block blows out Travis Johnson's knee. The play ends up scoring a touchdown. Green celebrates his team scoring a touchdown...
Is Green vilified in the media?
Does the story of the incident make it to the front-page of Digg?
Does Travis Johnson miss the rest of his season, possibly his professional football career? - satanatnmtedu, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2So, Trent Green is dead? Death has to be the most severe type of concussion.
- aIucard, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0That was a really stupid block that Trent threw because it was way too low especially against a guy so big. Not only did he give himself a severe injury, but he nearly destroyed the other guy's knee. Retarded play by Trent.
- alvination, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1As a Texans fan, both were stupid. You don't cut low like that on a huge guy and you don't taunt like that to a motionless player. And Green should retire early and not risk any further brain damage.
- c0ldfusi0n, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Is the guy's knee okay?
- mwalker05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2he would be a fool to play again. the next concussion could be fatal
- FatherVic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's what he gets for leaving KC...
- salinemist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think there's a reason he wasn't playing for the Chiefs this year......maybe his previous concussion?
- akatherder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Aside from the danger to his knee, there's also the fact that he landed on his shoulders and neck. That's a pretty huge impact compounded by the fact that he weighs 300+ pounds. He could have broken his neck and been paralyzed. He was pissed off and jumped up looking for a fight.
A quarterback needs to know when to stay in the play or when to slink over to the sidelines and live to fight another day. - BirthTax, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I don't understand everyone saying it was a cheap shot. Cut blocks are legal and routine. They are usually done on the back side of a running play to slow down pursuit, to open a throwing lane on a short QB drop, or sometimes by RBs picking up a blitzer. Also, keep in mind Trent Green is a QB and probably doesn't do blocking drills.
If you say it was a dangerous block, that is a 100% legitimate comment, but there are lots of legal, dangerous plays in football. Anyone who wants to make cut blocks illegal, I'm not going to stand in your way because it is dangerous. I'm just saying it wasn't cheap. I can tell you with 100% certainty that he didn't mean to hit a 300+lb guy with his head on the knee. What sane person would? - gyronic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Trent Green got JACKED UP!!!
ZOMG a sport that promotes hard hits and massive collisions has another victim.
I drink the tears of sports player that get hurt. I'm not about to feel any sadness for these guys that get paid MILLIONS to get smashed in the face. - Kiltzg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1At least we are now taking concussion as seriously as it needs to be taken! Hopefully he can live the rest of his life and have a good life with no permanent brain damage!
