That's why I put a link...
I know, I didn't want to see it and the testosterone in me made me open it too.
We always look at things we know will gross us out.
It wasn't a dislocated kneecap (I've done that to both of my knees...once in basketball, once in weightroom)...he dislocated his ENTIRE KNEE. I didn't know that was possible. Yuck. I feel so bad for him.

They're saying 8 to 12 months. He may miss next season

definitely nasty but yeah that UFC thing is higher on the list. I've dislocated my knee cap and completely tore my ligaments but that broken shin looked mind numbingly painfull. also the psycho sid injury was pretty nasty 2.

I think he'll be lucky to walk normal again. I'd be really surprised if he is able to come back and be any good.

I will never go to Youtube again, for fear that they have profiled me and will only show me horrific injuries from now on.
Livingston's knee was the worst to me, because no one even touched him and he absolutely destroyed his knee. I can't even watch basketball the same way anymore, and there's no way I'm jumping ever again.

Update on Livingston (from a fantasy basketball site):
The word is in on Shaun Livingston's most recent knee injury, and the word is bad for him and the Clippers. The talented third-year point guard reportedly has almost as much ligament damage as it's possible to do to one's knee. In dislocating his left knee against the Bobcats Monday, Livingston tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), MCL (medial collateral ligament), PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), and also his lateral meniscus. There's no immediate timeline for his recovery, but such a massive knee injury usually takes at least a year for full recovery.

Seems someone at SI has gone to the trouble of compiling a list, and most of the stuff you guys put on here is there, with a few more.

Just watched Sid Vicious, ouch! My stomach says no mas, but my curiousity is pushing me forward. These are almost as bad as the Faces of Death videos my buddy and I watched back in high school.
