That is quite amazing.

I remember Joe’s injury too - was watching the game while in S. Korea and could almost hear it snap from there....

I hear ya. The old RFK was “intimate”, if such a term could be used to describe stadiums. There certainly was a 12th man effect in there. You almost felt like you were on the field.

Theisman was a jerk. There were more than a few out there that didn’t’t feel sorry for him at all.

Whatever. This is a thread about sports injuries my FRiend, not personalities.

I remember how freaked out Lawrence Taylor was after Theisman’s leg break.

Same stadium, 33 years apart to the day

Theismann was hurt at RFK Stadium. The Skins now play at FedEx Field.
