By now you’ve likely heard about Arsenal’s Eduardo da Silva doing his best Joe Theismann on the pitch Saturday. In other words, my man got his leg snapped. And not just in a “damn, my leg’s broke” sorta way, but in a “I can see my tibia jetting out of my skin” sorta way (Warning: In case you haven’t figured it out, this is pretty graphic):

I’m not sure, but I don’t think he was taking a dive on that one.
There are a punch of actual videos of the injury on YouTube, but they’re being removed about as quickly as they’re being posted.
Also, as you may have guessed, Arsenal’s coach is not at all happy: “The tackle was horrendous and this guy (Martin Taylor) should never play football again.” And by “football” he meant “soccer,” just to clarify.
