A Great Moment in Sportscasting History

Rajan Rondo is knocked down by Dwayne Wade and falls awkwardly dislocating his left elbow.  Even though it's gruesome, the tape is repeated over and over again. We see Rondo's arm bend backwards and we see him writhe in pain.

Jeff Van Gundy:  "It's horrible. I can't watch."

Mark Jackson (a Brooklynite who doesn't like Van Gundy):  "You can't look?  I always wondered where you were from.  Now I know.  You're from the suburbs."

Later, Rondo returns and heroically plays the fourth period with just one working arm.

Joe Thiesmann? Pretty sure it wasn't Flutie. Also, running back Napoleon McCallum suffered a similar injury, and when the color commentator Dan Dierdorf told the viewers who were squeamish not to look, I took his advice, and I'm from Brooklyn, too.

Who was the quarterback who got injured with his leg bent grotesquely the wrong way? Was it Doug Flutie? They seemed to take great delight in showing that replay countless times. I was too squeamish to watch it -- and I'm from Brooklyn!
