I have ever seen. My heart goes out to the young man, his family, and entire Louisville community.

crew · 1 April 2013, 08:57 AM

That was ugly.
I hope that, in time, he can play again.

Runnin' Rebel · 1 April 2013, 08:58 AM

One of the worst I've seen

Brunotheboxer · 1 April 2013, 08:59 AM

I've never seen anything quite like it. Horrible. In the replay notice the reaction of his own teammates.

Kanger · 1 April 2013, 09:03 AM

Hope he will walk perfectly again and prayers to him and his entire family!

Grumpy Badger · 1 April 2013, 09:09 AM

Could someone post a link... I've no idea what y'all are on about!

All I do know is that it can't be the worst ever if you are talking about him playing again... Or even walking agian...

I'm a professional horseman and ex jump-jockey and I've seen people killed and, worse, a friend is now dead from the neck down after breaking his neck.

Lion · 1 April 2013, 09:15 AM

I missed it cause I was napping...but they did say Joe Theisman sent his best regards. And I sure do remember LT snapping his ankle like a twig!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

Lion · 1 April 2013, 09:20 AM

Yikes...that definitely looks pretty bad.....I wish the young man the best of luck!!!

salem65 · 1 April 2013, 09:20 AM

Ouch. That was bad.

Thanks, mate!

Certainly dramatic and horrible to see but nowhere near the worst sports injury ever.

I hope it looks worse than it is and I wish him a speedy recovery.

rodrob59 · 1 April 2013, 09:42 AM

Haven't seen the video, and after reading the account I'm glad I tuned in late.

GerardoG · 1 April 2013, 09:43 AM

Ouch! Terrible!

drockadam · 1 April 2013, 10:03 AM

Prayers to the family. Terrible injury.

HL65 · 1 April 2013, 10:15 AM

Awful and one of worst I have seen as well! Hope he is ok and heals up.

The Joker · 1 April 2013, 10:28 AM

Ouch

Boopie · 1 April 2013, 10:34 AM

That was horrible. I hope he will be okay.

I have to say, though, that I watched the Mike Tyson/Evander Holyfield fight live (1997?), and I screamed, shouted, and covered my eyes when Mike went for Evander's ear, and bit off a chunk. That was an intentional, criminal act of mayhem.

69mach351 · 1 April 2013, 10:42 AM

That looked horrible. Not something you see often. Thank goodness.

AzPaul · 1 April 2013, 10:47 AM

After reading these comments, I'll do my best to avoid watching it.
Hate seeing things like that.

Adam. · 1 April 2013, 10:55 AM

That was the worst sports injury I have seen on tv. It was much worse than Willis McGahee's injury in the national championship game.

The skin broke open and six inches of bone came out. The rest of the leg was hanging on.

I'm praying for that kid.

seand442 · 1 April 2013, 11:21 AM

Up there with some of the worst. Not the first compound fracture in a sporting event but probably the most visible. I hope he can come back from it.

keschete · 1 April 2013, 11:30 AM

After the elbow injury I suffered and the 3 months of recovery and probably a full year before I am close to normal, my heart goes out to this young man. It is a hard road! I am praying for him and his family. I know what it is like to have a life altering injury with the possibility of being crippled.

sierra11b · 1 April 2013, 11:55 AM

Way to act players on the bench

Armyguy03 · 1 April 2013, 11:59 AM

Was it due to a raised floor?

paverman · 1 April 2013, 12:01 PM

I watched the game but really couldnt see the detail until I watched the utube video. Simply awful. That one will be tough to come back from, but I wish him the best.

floater156 · 1 April 2013, 12:16 PM

YOu know it's bad when it makes his teamates fall to the floor. That was hard to watch.

The kid jumped and when he landed the leg snapped and the bone broke in half. There was no contact. Nobody touched him.

The leg was hanging on by skin. Someone on the staff threw a towel over it to cover the injury.

I am guessing the bone must have been fractured before the game and the boy didn't know. I can't understand how a leg can break like that from jumping three feet high.

Tri-Tip · 1 April 2013, 01:41 PM

Wow, that was ugly. Hope he makes a full recovery. Tough to watch.

onkyo · 1 April 2013, 02:05 PM

Brings back memories of joe theisman...... Wish the young man a full recovery.

TheVTCGuy · 1 April 2013, 02:10 PM

Like everyone else, I sincerely wish him a speedy and full recovery.
