Wow, I can see why the facemask rule was put into place at some point.

Edit: Also, is anyone football savvy enough to say if these include any of the paralyzing/fatal hits in the NFL history?
'cause then I'd regret my vote a bit, ya know. Not a snuff fan.

None of this is snuff.

My football knowledge is rusty now but there are a couple of hits that stick in my incomplete memory which should have been in this collection.

A playoff game in the 90s with Buffalo/Miami. Steve Tasker nailed the Miami safety from the side on a special teams play. The guy not only got up but then made a big play, I think an interception.

A regular season game, San Franciso against somebody. Wide receiver John Taylor scored but was walloped in the chest with a helmet. It was one of those hits that took him off his feet and looked really bad and borderline illegal but I don't think they called it.

how about the hit Reggie Bush took in the one of the first drives by New Orleans in the N.O./Bears playoff game this past season? I didn't think he would get up after that one. Ran in an 85+ yard carry later in the game though.

Arrendek, I dont remember there being any fatal hits in football. And there has only been a handful of hits that have caused paralyzation. I dont believe any where shown here. Popular Mechanics had a neat article a month or so back about football and concussions. It talked about how 2 players colliding can result in impacts rated well over 100 G's (astronauts experience 3 or 4 G's on liftoff), but the players equipment spreads the impact so well that players are rarely hurt from them. Pretty amazing stuff.

Here is the article if anybody would care to read it:

Up Vote for acknowledging that this isn't "Real Football" and that Rugby is better.

Screw rugby, Aussie rules rules.....errrr.... Aussie rules es lo mejor.

Before I watch this, this doesn't have joe theisman getting his leg snapped does it? I saw that live, and really don't want to ever see it again.
