USM's DeAndre Brown Breaks Leg

by Barking Carnival Staff on Dec 22, 2008 11:38 AM CST in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

Warning, it's pretty graphic, but the reason I'm posting it is two fold.

First, right when it happened the first thing I could say, well after "that's nasty", was crap I've got to have the worst luck as a football gambler. First Pittsburgh gets the last second covering touchdown overturned three weeks ago, and now Southern Miss' best player gets injured Mike Sherrard style. Yes I'm a selfish bastard. Three hundred and thirty dollars to Guido just because the kid didn't drink his milk.

The second reason I'm posting this is because the DB's reaction is classic and exactly what I would have done. After offering a hand to help Brown up, the DB grabs his helmet with both hands and does a 180 degree hop away from the injury when he realizes DeAndre has a second "knee". Wow.

And for all you holier than thou's, kid will have a couple titanium rods put in and be back to normal. No, better than normal. Stronger. Faster. Better. Six million dollar man style.

Watch before you've had your lunch.

Saw it live. At first, it looked like he reached for his calf. I saw the DB react and knew it was bad. Then he rolled over and I saw the “second knee.” Did everything I could after that to avoid the replay. And you go and post it??? I am NOT clicking that link…

Thanks Trips. I was watching too, and noticed the unnatural angle of receiver’s leg just before the DB did. The DB might have thought he was responsible for it until he saw the replay: it’s still not clear what put so much pressure on Brown’s leg. (And no, I’m not clicking the link either, you sick bastard).

I remember the announcers not quite knowing what to say, then a quick break for the commercial. Of course when they came back from break, journalistic integrity demanded they show it again—with all the cautions and sorrow that go with gawking at a nine-car pile-up on I-35.

Glad your gambling angel was second in line for your conscience. It is Christmas, after all, and with USM covering you can now afford the big prize turkey in the window.

I’ve got the good sense God gave me to not click on that link. I’m scarred for life by Theisman. I’ll take your word for it.

Oh yeah, and can someone get over here and clean up the vomit from my keyboard?

Watching Theismann break his leg never gets old.

Did his eye get popped back in successfully, or was it a goner?

Trips,

I saw your post on Orangebloods…..Are you saying that the $60K Yukon which showed up at Julio Jones’ house was for his mother and that a certain school up north is pulling the same card in East Texas?

Hard to watch that.

Groundhog, no I didn’t say that. I’m just saying Julio was torn between Alabama and ou for a reason.

Let’s not get off track here. This is a celebration of Deandre Brown’s lack of calcium.

I agree, Trips…..thanks for the info. I look forward to hearing more about this one day. I used to have respect for Stoops, but now the hair stands up on the back of my neck when I hear his name due to his act at the end of this year and the recruitment of JM. I’m sure the TX coaches can’t stand those guys up north especially nice guy Brown.
