If you think about weird injuries most people would think of jumping in celebration and falling awkwardly. That's just what happened for the kicker for the Miami Dolphins. After making a field goal the kicker jumped up in celebration, but as he landed he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his non-kicking knee.
3. Jack Del Rio
I put this one on Jack Del Rio because basically it was his fault. After wanting his players to keep on keeping on so to speak, Jack put a block of wood and an axe in the locker room and required his players to take a hack everyday after practice.
Punter Chris Hansen finished his work out early and went to take his hack. He missed and made a deep cut in his leg. Immediately Chris was rushed to the hospital. Good job coach.
2. Kevin Johnson
Normally after making a game winning shot your teammates may give you a high five or put you on their shoulder. Not Charles Barkley, he takes the "hurt you" approach. After making the game winning basket Johnson was greeted by Barkley who wrapped him up and squeezed very hard and dislocated his shoulder. I guess some people don't know their own strength.
1. Gus Frerotte
Most people reading this have probably guessed by now that this bonehead (literally) move was going to end up atop the list. In 1997, in one of the few games he played (now we know why), Gus scored a go ahead touchdown against the Redskins. To celebrate, he ran to the wall that he though was padded, well actually it was padded—with concrete—and head butted it. He felt dizzy and was rushed to the nearest hospital to treat his head injury.
So some injuries just happen and some athletes make them happen. These guys made them happen in the most idiotic ways—and I guarantee they want them back.
