Some are a lot worse than others, but I put all of them in spoilers just in case. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si...2/most-gruesomebizarre-injuries.html#comments They say things come in threes. That's certainly been the case with gruesome sports injuries the past week. Clippers point guard Shaun Livington tore four ligaments in his knee Monday. Wisconsin lost forward Brian Butch on Sunday for four to six weeks because of a dislocated elbow. And Chelsea captain John Terry was knocked unconscious Sunday after being kicked in the face during a match against Arsenal. Fortunately -- or in many cases, unfortantely -- all of these cringe-worthy incidents can be found on good ol' YouTube (just click on the links above). With that, here are the 10 most gruesome/bizarre injuries found on YouTube. (Some famous injuries aren't on the list i.e. Tim Krumrie, because there isn't a YouTube clip.) Let me warn you: Most of these are nasty. They will make your stomach turn. So if you're eating a meal, be careful. And if there are any other clips of injuries that I missed, please send them along. 1. Redskins QB Joe Theismann suffers broken right leg: This is the granddaddy of gruesome sports injuries. Lawrence Taylor's reaction is unforgettable.

Alabama WR Tyrone Prothro suffers broken left leg: The interesting thing about this clip is that the cameraman actually shoots a close-up of Prothro's leg. One thing you'll notice in most of the following clips is that the announcers usually tell the cameramen to turn away.

Dodgers pitcher Kaz Ishii gets hit in face with line drive: This isn't as nasty as when Red Sox pitcher Bryce Florie got hit with a liner, but it will still make you cringe. Make sure you stay with the clip and watch the "demonstration" that takes place afterward.

Villanova guard Allen Ray gets his right eye poked out: This is just nasty. While it's on my list, I don't recommend watching it.

Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk gets his neck cut by skate: This is probably the worst injury, but luckily you can't see it. There's a collision and then some blood. But that's more than enough. The announcers' reactions are a must-listen.

Mets outfielders Mike Cameron and Carlos Beltran viciously collide: The amazing thing about this play is that Beltran only missed a week of action. Cameron ended up with a broken jaw and broken nose.

Celtics guard Tony Allen suffers torn ACL: This get filed under the "bizarre" category. Allen attempted a dunk after play was whistled dead and then blew out his knee. He's out for the season.

Miami running back Willis McGahee suffers broken left leg: Helmet on knee. Nothing more needs to be said. If you're not queasy after viewing these clips, let me know which one you think is the most gruesome. And let me know if I've left any out. One thing to remember, though: There has to be a YouTube clip of the injury.

McCallum's knee injury was more gruesome than any of those other knee injuries. It's on youtube and ugh. That eye one should be at the top of the list though, that's stomach turning.
the mcgahee knee looks nastier than livingston's and he turned out fine. hopefully shaun does as well.
I was at the Motorcross races sitting in the fourth row, and a guy hit the wall immediately in front of me. His leg was broken all the way through and severed so that the bone was showing. (I haven't been to motorcross races since.)
I think Prothro is the worst on thay list. Just because you can reaaly see it well. Junior Seau's this yr was pretty bad too, he broke the arm, also Livingston's was real bad, but any time there is a broke arm or leg, it is the worst.
Talked to a friend about sports injuries the other day, saying how I can't look at injuries anymore. I'm getting softer more and more with age i guess The most bizarre injury I've seen is a kickboxer breaking his leg. And I mean BREAK. Goodness I hate these: Spoiler <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/As_xUw377os"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/As_xUw377os" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Spoiler <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0GNN4nalGA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0GNN4nalGA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
All of those look very bad and probably were for the victims. I mean just looking at those broken legs, bent in ways they were not meant to be. I just hope I don't have to go through that one day in my life. Ugh.
I remember seeing a leg injury to a Cincinnati Bengal that was worse than the Theismann injury. Anybody remember that one? Also - I saw a disturbing one from an arm wrestling match where a guy got his arm snapped in half. ouch.
