.....but the matrix never glitches...... but the matrix never glitc...... oh sh!t

FedEx Field is in Prince George's County, Maryland, not Washington, DC. And Smith was sacked at Houston's 24-yard line, not the 39.

Oh amd joe theisman was in the stands watching this as it happened!!

Im a Redskins fan. Saw both of those games on TV. Cant watch the replay of either.

I remember watching the Theismann injury live. I knew he broke his leg before they showed the slo-mo, legs don't bend like that.
ChanningsTaintum
The film is pretty grainy from the LT hit; but it’s said that he thought Joes bone shards were crack rocks and pulled out his stem and torch

Jesse James' ex tells it better....

If you treat outcomes as random all complex events are individually incredibly improbable, but we only perceive their improbability when
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Also, with a data set that large, even rare events like this get quite likely to happen more than once.
pseudopseudonym
we recognize it in a pattern.

The book “The Blind Side” goes into great detail about the incident with Joe Theismann and Lawrence Taylor. Really incredible.
mrmayortheiv
I didn't care for the movie. Not because the movie was bad, but because my mom was obsessed with it to an obnoxious degree.

Also wasn't Joe Thiesmann at the game when it happened?

Saw pics of his leg post surgery. Search at your own risk. It's pretty damn nasty.

I don’t know about joe but Alex smith nearly died from an infection after the leg breaking. Super brutal
DontTazeMeBrah
RG3 too. Redskins should switch to a dome or at least look into changing to astro turf. This keeps happening.
HereDueToYourOnePeskyDownVote
Obviously playing him while his leg was being held together with crackers and play DOH wasn't a good idea either.
steviEa
Theisman apparently called Smith after to offer condolences and help. For those that don’t know football, this is 99% career ending injury
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Oh. Oh damn.
redmangc
He almost died that week from it

remember when the skins tried to cover up Trent William's cancer so they could eek a few more years out of him?

Alex Smith deserved better. He was an OK quarterback everyone wanted to be great.
BaconPanda
I went to highschool with him. He as absolute dick, but I heard he turned his attitude around. That injury/recovery has a bitch.
stormtrooper412
no1 overall is not supposed to be OK, he's supposed to be the second coming of Jesus according to football fans :)
TheLunaDiviner
I agree. but that's unfortunately the collateral when you're pick R1:P1 in a pretty historically loaded draft (including Aaron Rodgers)
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Was? Was this a career ending injury?
ShadyEsperanto
he plans to play again, but I don't think there's a timeline for when he might be able to come back. so it might be a way to push himself.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Best of luck to the guy.
liljohnnymac
Kansas City is pretty glad he was only an OK qb and not their long term.
Lobuttomize
The quintessential game manager
DenzelWashingtonsFlawlessSmile
He was the first overall and even said he was a 9ers fan to sway the selection. It comes with the territory
drsuitcasenuke
I loved him as the chiefs QB, even if the short pass was his specialty. Smith will be in the chiefs hall of fame, don't worry.
thequicksilver
As a die hard Chiefs fan, Smith was a great quarterback - not necessarily an exciting one. He wasn't the problem with the team those years.
sleete
I loved him when he was in SF under Harbaugh. Did really well until that concussion that brought out Kaep.
bigtegridy228
As a Ravens fan my biggest worry was seeing him come back that year .
jbcars4life
And he only missed 1 game while previously playing at a pro bowl level. I would've like to see if he could've let them to a SB win
funnypicsmookie
Just the worst luck. Went through several offensive coordinators his first few years. Loses job to Kaepernick because of injury. >
funnypicsmookie
> Finally lands in a good place, good system and good coach to succeed but loses his job to arguably the best player in the league. >
funnypicsmookie
He doesn’t deserve an injury like this.
MadamPuddifoot
Seriously he put up pretty good numbers in multiple seasons, with not great teams. Either way, he's a legend.
MyOwnPrivateOhio
If you haven’t read that article on ESPN about his injury, surgery, and recovery, you need to. Amazing. I don’t even like the Redskins.
MerpDrp
This is even better https://youtu.be/syPfHoqXgWY
jenswerner
I thought i would read something about the improvements in rehabilitating these injuries....holy f...
faultysage
If you're not a fan of reading I know they did a ESPN Daily podcast on it and probably some show as well.
MadamPuddifoot
E60 project 11.
MadamPuddifoot
The e60 is amazing, if you can handle graphic images. Alex Smith is a legend but his wife is on a different level. She's amazing.
graehall
I don't like their team name or mascot. With the history of the country, cheering that name is a bit of a "what the shit yo" thing to see.
RottedOnion
He played for us in KC for years before we traded him to start mahomes. Super great guy, did great things for us. KC wishes him all the best
Gianttesticlemonster
Agreed.

Thanks!

I'm glad I read it. I had been meaning to for a while. Reading it and looking at the pictures made my old knee injuries ache and the

Plate and screws in my ankle removed ne they were there. I'm not an athlete, just a clumsy dude with poor genetics.
MyOwnPrivateOhio
I’m glad your mostly recovered. It’s odd when you see another injured person and you start reliving your own injuries! I did the same thing
DefinitelyNotAFed
Wow. I didn't realize how need it got for him.
BeerIsProofThatGodLovesUsAndWantsUsToBeHappy
Of watch Project 11 on ESPN. Some pretty graphic pics of his leg though, just so you know.

steve9001
The pictures made me cringe. I had no idea that a broken leg could get that bad.
Trimule
Look at the video of Theismann's injury if you want to really cringe
MadamPuddifoot
Will he had sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis, which is honestly usually deadly. They had to remove so much of his muscle.
NotACanadian
"I don't like the Redskins" would have carried a very different context before the sports team...
orbitn
that was my first thought.
AlucardsJojoReference
Back then, it was likely polite to call Native Americans that where many people simply refereed to them as "savages". Still bad though.
NotACanadian
Eh "savage" stopped being an outright name for them early on, and just evolved into a character trait. Redskin and Injun were common
BadPunCentral
Would also recommend reading what Spanish soccer player Santi Cazorla had to endure. Flesh eating bacteria that almost took his leg.

That's what Smith had, as well. It's crazy. I'm in sports med and honestly this kinda shit fascinates me. I cannot believe he lived.
HereDueToYourOnePeskyDownVote
He has half his arm tattoo on his ankle now. Looks freaky. He was one hell of a player though. I'll dig out his goal in the FA Cup final...
