I can barely watch Weaver's injury, no way I'm watching the McCallum one.
You're a smart man.
I knew I couldn't watch Weaver's on replay and I hate the fact that they showed it.
I had to look away and wait until it was safe to open my eyes.
I hate those things and it's by far the worst thing about this great sport.
I hate the Vikings, but I couldn't even watch the replay of EJ Henderson's leg getting snapped by his one wreckless player's hit.

^^^^^ WOW, that one posted above is nasty and hard to watch. Ive seen Weavers a few times now and yes he suffered alot of damage but its not that bad. His knee goes back a bit but nothing close to McGahee. Ryan Grants rolled ankle looked worse IMO.
McCallum's injury made me cringe. That was the worst. And that's the first time I actually cringed and had to look away. While the injuries of Protho, Theissman, and McGahee were all gruesome, I don't think they look nearly as bad as McCallum's. Jesus, that was bad.
On another note, Nicklas Backstrom is amazingly good.

I'm definitely not going to go perusing through videos of horrific injuries to see which one is worst. I don't want that to happen to anyone, much less actually want to see someone's limbs (and livelihoods, in the cases of NFL players) be literally ripped apart. Although it does make me wonder what highlight videos of lumberjack or commercial fisherman injuries would look like, if their professions were widely televised. Not that I'd want to watch that, either, but for perspective when people start talking about how football is too dangerous. I live in Alaska, and have worked on some dangerous jobs, and you just kind of understand that while you might end up just fine, there's other people who die doing what you're doing each year. I'd be thinking of commercial fishing in particular in this case. I'm sure that a football player feels significantly more satisfied with his line of work, so I don't feel bad about watching them risk their limbs in the spirit of competition.
