Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy... I remember that game, I was just a kid. Players come back from injuries like that now Theisman was a dick anyways. His last name used to be pronounced differently, but he changed it in college to rhyme with Heisman. Then he didn't win the trophy and got all butt hurt. Fuck him...
You know, it's funny...I can watch two guys beat the hell out of each other for hours through a UFC pay per view and not be effected at all, but watching Theismann's leg break makes me want to puke...
He said he felt nothing, his leg went numb immediately from the endorphin rush, and all I can say is...thank God for that. I can't even imagine the level of pain he'd have been feeling if he hadn't.
No, the Blind Side didn't bring me here. That nasty leg break of that guy from the Colts about 10 minutes ago did. His was the second worst of all time after Theismann. Tragic.
I broke my forearm right in the middle when I was 16. The bone didn't break the skin, but it was bent right in the middle and you could tell it was broken just looking at it.
You'd think the pain would be intense right away, but there was really no pain right away. It was several minutes later when the pain really starts to hit.
@DaringDirk100 i read this a few times, and not to be a dick , but what the fuck does this have to do with this video in any way shape or form? nobody cares about your fucking arm or how it broke or how it felt. we care about joe's leg breaking. thats it.
You wanna know the crazy part. Joe didn't feel ANY pain when his leg was broke. He said this incident made him appreciate what the body can do. That tells you this guy had balls, cause most players nowadays would be shitting their pants.
@bunnyjazz It's a nice moment because no one helped Brady when he tore his ACL. Those things are sportmanship. God Bless America. No offense other religions.
@bunnyjazz LT didn't jump up because he just shattered Joe's leg, he jumped out of the pile screaming because he is extremely claustrophobic. He didn't ever care if he injured a QB, that was his goal
@bunnyjazz no hes scared, he is clusterphobic(s/p). afraid of close corners also under a pile of people specially with someone with a broken knee screaming
@bunnyjazz Amen to that! I'm a Cowboys fan, but I had the greatest respect for all the NFC East teams in those days, it was a hell of a division and so highly competitive in that era. I had huge respect for Joe Gibbs and the Skins.
When I watched this game back in 1985, I was sickened and felt horrible for Theismann and for the Redskins. And you're right, it showed some pretty good sportsmanship and class for Taylor to react the way he did to what happened. He knew Theissman was hurt BAD.
Having watched this live (and still cringe) and a 'Skins fan from the Over the Hill Gang days, I always respected LT for his reaction. He was always a worthy competitor and actually a good example of class in a sport that, these days, has far too few class acts.
LT was a monster and he probably could have broken a leg every game if he wanted.
I am a hugh Redskin fan and LT was the best defense (alone) that I ever saw us face.
Jay Schroeder was scared shitless of Taylor. He got so rattled against the Giants (Taylor) that he just hid and ran for cover. I thought Butkus was the best LB that I ever saw until LT came into the league.
Ray Lewis, Urlacher, name anybody with the exception of Butkus all are pretenders compared to Lawrence Taylor.
Just met Harry Carson & decided to check out this video cuz he was talking about it... he said accedents like that are things that change how you look at the game.
@TheVanhalen78 The funny thing is, according to Wikipedia, is that Joe didn't feel pain after this (at least not right away) because his endorphins kicked in & numbed his leg. But I'll bet you anything he felt that the next day.
@salamander337 No the book is where I learned it. There is like 90 pages on it, and how it changed the way of the game, and using left tackles to protect the quarterback's blind side. Michael Oher was a left tackle. That's why it is called The Blind Side.
@SteelPitt6Burgh Lawrence Taylor has 2 superbowls too. And he didn't get 100 mystery penalties and bullshit touchdowns like the Steelers did against the Seahawks. Lawrence Taylor would destroy Big Rapist What's your point? And you mean those GIRLS. And it's not rape if someone wants you to fuck them dumbass racist.
@SteelPitt6Burgh Hey dumbass don't make excuses for your stupid-ass QB that cant keep his pants on around 20 year old women. No woman wants to be raped...because it WOULDN'T be RAPE if she wanted it dumbass!!
@90geekgirl06 The truly freaky thing is. I have a friend who's a doctor and she was telling me that if he had received that injury today, he'd be back on the field 8-14 months later.
One thing people don't remember much is the Redskins were losing this game pretty bad, and the backup was Jay Schroeder and he turned it around, and had a great career as a starter.
@brazil1kaka Yeah, I definitely agree. It just makes your heart feel good, right? Even if you have to shudder watching the replays of his leg bending in three different directions.
Everyone who was watching that game knew it was bad when the biggest badass defender in the NFL called for the med team... Great job, Lawrence, you played with a passion but knew when you had to help. Wtg.

Well, no. You can hear it clearly at 0:07, delayed a bit by the time it takes to travel to the microphones.
This instantly ended Joe's on-field career and may have cost the 'Skins one or two other titles in the mid-80's.
