Top 10 Dumbest Sports Injuries of All-time

#10 – Joel Zumaya

Zumaya burst onto the scene in 2006, notably coming out of the Tigers bullpen to Hendrix’s ”Voodoo Child”. Many were enthralled with Zumaya because he could hit triple digits with his fastball, but Zumaya was infamously sidelined during the 2006 ALCS with a sore wrist. Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski confirmed the injury came from playing Guitar Hero II

#9 – Bill Gramatica

Not many readers will remember this one, but I certainly do. The Gramaticas (Bill and Martin) were not only kickers in the NFL, but both were annoying little twats who celebrated EVERY field goal they EVER made. The Gramatica’s were so annoying Todd Sauerbrun once called them “greasy motherfuckers”. In a regular season game versus the Giants, Gramatica successfully made a 42-yard field goal to push the score to 3-0. In order to celebrate he jumped in the air, landed, and promptly tore his ACL. IT’S A FIELD GOAL YOU DOUCHEBAG.

#8 – Gus Frerotte

In celebrating a touchdown, Frerotte headbutted the padded wall behind the end zone and gave himself a concussion and sprained neck. Please enjoy the video.

#7, #6, & #5 – Ben Roethlisberger, Kellin Winslow, Jay Williams

All three of these idiots crashed on their motorcycles, so this is a tie. However, Roethlisberger is a two-time Super Bowl champion and Kellen Winslow is one of the NFL’s best tight ends. Jay Williams never played again. Ouch. Wear a fucking helmet.

#4 – Jeff Kent

Sprained his wrist before the 2002 season and most believed he sustained the injury after he fell off his dirt bike, but he told the Giants he slipped in the bed of his pick-up truck while washing it. Famously rocked a mustache for his entire career.

#3 – Adam Eaton

While pitching for San Diego in 2001, Eaton stabbed himself in the stomach while trying to open up a DVD. Can’t we all agree that they overdo all the fucking security measures on these? There’s THREE fucking stickers!

#2 – Marty Cordova

I actually remember Marty Cordova for being a wife beater, but this may be more embarrassing. The AL Rookie of the Year in 1995, Cordova missed parts of the 2002 season with Baltimore because he fell asleep in a tanning bed and was sunburned. Is sunburned the right word for that? It isn’t “Marty Cordova fell asleep in a tanning bed and became a fucking retard”?

#1 – Plaxico Burresss

FUCKING SHOT HIMSELF
