Not his kicking foot, thankfully, although I guess you need both. In any case he missed the rest of the season but played for five more years.
Hi, I’m Chris Hanson, and I’m going to take a seat right over here.
Jesus Christ, that’s like a surgeon doing balisong tricks.
That basically sums up the Jags.
That’s a mistake you only make once.
That’s so morbid, but hilarious.
Chopping yourself with an axe has to be a pretty common injury. I know a handful of people over the years who got pretty serious wounds hacking their foot/leg while trying to chop wood.
