I just want a vid cap :(

I have no cap, but basically the WR jumped up to catch the ball and as soon as his hands had it, some guy delivered a HUGE and nasty clothes-line which took his helmet off instantly and sent the WR spinning (Barrel roll) in the air. He landed, spun once and landed on his back. He didn't move. Everyone rushed over immediately and his leg spasmed and jerked violently. Cut to commerical. It looked REALLY bad, but as someone mentioned, he was able to give a thumbs up as he was carted off on a stretcher, but he was strapped good and they spent well over 5 minutes with him on the field before taking him off.

sports injuries like these are always so freakin scary. If an athlete doesn't get up for more than 5 minutes then things like paralysis always comes to peoples minds. It's truly a time when athletes are brought down to the common peoples level and realize that they just like you and me. What city was it that booed when Michael Irvin suffered a career ending neck injury... philly?

Looking at the angles in the vid cap, it's hard to see if it was malicious or not. If the hit was < a tenth of a second earlier, it would've been the routine shoulder check you see in the NFL instead of actual tackling. You can see he extends his arm, but thats part of the check. I don't know if he should be suspended for that.

i really can't tell if that was intentional or not, it doesn't LOOK like it... only he knows. either way i hope for the best for the injured player
