Vote For the More Grotesque Injury: Brian Butch or Shaun Livingston?

I just threw up after watching that Livingston video.

i gotta go with livingston. butch's elbow was gross, but god damn...that knee looked like it was made of rubber.

what about throwing the john terry kick to the face in the mix?

From what I've seen around the blogosphere (god, I hate using that word) today, I think I'm in the minority, but I find Butch's nastier. I think the up-close camera angle makes it worse for me.

I think Brian Butch's injury was nastier. You didn't get to see Livingston's up close so maybe that made a difference.

I had pizza about an hour ago and it was nasty. But after watching those videos, The pizza actually tasted better as I hurled it into the trash can next to the desk... Completely nasty!! As bad as Theisman, the lineman in the Super Bowl from Cincinnati vs. 49ers, and the running back for the Raiders years ago (Napoleon?)

I feel that both situations are evenly awful. They're recuparation will be worse.

yeah they both were bad but the worse was some ufc fight I saw. Dude kicks the other dude in the lower leg. when dude who kicks first pulls back his leg he goes to put weight on it and it folded like a book.. complete break of both bones of the lower leg. Gross.

Brian Butch's expression of disbelief upon viewing his elbow pointing away from his face in the direction of the concession stand seals it for me. Theisman's fracture has nothing on these injuries. We expect a fracture to break in an odd way, but watching an intact joint bend backward is disgusting. One almost expects the 53 inch leg length of Livingston to be predisposed to this kind of injury.

The elbow is not nearly as bad, although no one wants either to happen. The reason I say it is the elbow can be popped back and fixed a lot easier than the knee, and easier to come back from a lot sooner. If a knee is that bad his career may be over, but an elbow you can come back from

Ouch. I know the feeling....not the elbow, but the knee. When playing soccer I was known the chick who never backed away from a ball...in high school the other teams learned to respect me and back off, not so much when I first started playing college ball. We were playing a REAL dirty team and we both went in for the ball...Godzilla (who outweighed me by about 70 lbs) decided she'd go for my knee (the planted one, not the kicking one) and my video looks pretty gruesome. I was really lucky though, severe hyperextension and torn ligaments, but I can still feel the pain watching that video.
