Good, Funny injury

Suffered a knee sprain - walked into a tree while talking on his cell phone, out 8-9 weeks.

Could happen to anyone.

Ouch ... wished someone had the pic of that unfortunate accident ... thanks goodness, he wasn't driving !!

I had a player injured for 3-4 weeks, when he twisted his ankle tripping over a table in his hotel room - strange, but funny!

I had a player miss a couple weeks after being mugged. He hit really poorly when he came back, I guess he's having psychological problems, PTSD.

That's pretty cool.

Not sure if this counts but I had a player get injured with Heat Stroke and miss three days. The game was April 5th in Pittsburgh with a temperature of 41 degrees. I'm terrified of bringing him on any southern road trips.

Was he sitting in the sauna with the owner's daughter again??

And let's not forget the original bizarre baseball injury: John Smoltz injured himself ironing a shirt he was wearing.

Lot of good real-life strange injuries in here too:

Also, I forget who it was, but didn't some guy injure himself tucking his son into bed?
