Mitch McGary Moment (edit):
Just under an hour until the Madness resumes,so I was rewatching the highlights from the VCU dismantling. I kept replaying the McGary pick that destroyed/annihilated the VCU kid.
I'm pretty sure the first thought he had was, "did anyone get the number of that truck?"
I know this because, once during a pick-up BB game, I forgot I was playing outside and introduced my face to the basket support while attempting a finger-roll lay-up. Result: bad.
Yes, I suck at basketball.
My question is: what is the hardest you've ever been hit and can you create a meme or GIF to memorialize the McGary "Stonewall" moment?
1. He hit him so hard his children will need dental work...
Contribute, enjoy; Go Blue!
EDIT: changed the title for clarity and to pay homage to Al Jolson and James Cagney.

I'm not sure you really know what constitutes a meme.

Here is a plain gif of the screen from diehardsports.com

Too bad the kid wasn't wearing a helmet which could have gone flying off leading to the whole world talking about McGary which would be followed by an article in Sports Illustrated about 'the screen'.
March 24th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
Do his teeth count?
"The Screen". I like it.. It's our job to turn this into an endless media phenomenon. Get to work MGoBloggers.

Family-safe version.
IIRC, McGary set a screen earlier in the game that also resulted in a VCU kid losing his teeth. Does anyone have a gif of that?

While playing football, I scrambled from the pocket... That decision was followed by a loud beeping noise and much confusion on my part. Apparently, once I broke through the line of scrimmage a linebacker broke through the side of my head. They said when I was on the ground I said "He sees daylight!" which was probably true...

Yea I wouldn't mind this thread if the title wasn't so misleading.
March 24th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
I actually had a lot of fun making that. So I will consider this thread a success.
Where's the "Butthurt" moderation tag?
OP, don't take it personally. Bad idea threads happen to the best of us.
Shake it off and on to the next one.

I got hit by a car when I was 6. Woke up in the ambulance with my hysterical mom and a guy telling me my leg was broken while he waved around a big, funny looking pair of scissors.
Yes, a 6 year old mind can conjure up scary things - sticks break into two pieces. The tape scissors were obviously going to be used to cut off the broken part.
March 24th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
Look, if coach would've put me in, we would've won the state championship. No doubt in my mind

I once sent a kid from the rival high school to the hospital with what can only be described as a ruptured testicle.
I think I was a senior when it happened. It was during a tennis tournament and his partner left him out to dry. He popped up one of the most beautiful little lobs while I was at the net. I barely had to move to make really clean contact. The unfortunate young man on the other side decided that he would try to back-pedal and somehow attempt to return the smash. Unfortunately for him, his racquet was not in front of the his groin, which was essentially where I was aiming.
Next thing anyone knows, he is on the ground trying to yell, but it only came out as a bit of a gurgle and a whimper. The coaches were so confused about what to do he probably laid there for 10 minutes before they realized getting him to an emergency room would be a good idea.
TL;DR version:
Getting hit in the wedding tackle with a tennis ball from about 10' will result in massive damage.
I don't think I understand people. I know we aren't supposed to talk about up&down votes, but I honestly can't fathom what about my story was so awful. While the OP wasn't particularly inspired, I at least felt the need to help the guy out and post something relevant to his query. Shame on me for doing that, I guess. Maybe if I had put in a video of a cat getting hit in the nuts that then led directly to a .gif of the same thing, I would be okay.
Edit: This thread is still dumb.
Was great; but in honor of Vincent Smith, I'm trying not to spend too much time celebrating it. Contact sports lead to contact. It's fun when that contact favors your squad.
This is a weird thread, but I'll bite: sophomore year of HS, head down trying to collect a ground ball at midfield during a lacrosse game, didn't realize I crossed the midline (when you're entering the D's territory) and got my facemask broken off of my helmet. Woops.
I played goalkeeper (soccer) in high school and was in a one on one situation with the biggest guy on the other team. I dove and punch the ball from his feet, unfortunately my head ended up at the exact spot the ball used to be. I still don't remember most of that game.
Wasn't his fault. He was about to kick the ball and I got there just in time to receive his kick..
I didn't know that. Regardless, he wasn't carded. Funny story, I ended up transferring to his school and became a good friend of his.
I was a keeper through college, and I have a similar story. While playing in a Fado's Cup tournament, I had a one on one where I smartly decided to replace the ball with my face. The guy promptly punted the middle of my face. I made the save and held onto the ball, but blood started pouring out of my upper lip and nose. I was able to get the bleeding under control and stay in the game, but the next day I went to Cedar Point with some friends. My upper lip was nearly the size of that youtube video where the guy got stung by the wasp. I couldn't really talk. I couldn't really eat. I sure as hell couldn't smile. My friends thought it was the funniest thing ever, but it really sucked.
I also pissed myself in 8th grade gym class. Last day of school. We were playing "21" and I was dribbling and looking behind me. Clipped a volleyball net and cushioned my fall with the back of my head. I woke up 5 minutes later with my gym teacher straddling my chest. That was not fun. The teacher covered for me saying I had slipped in the water, but I knew better. I changed out of my gym clothes and threw them out. They reaked of piss. I was not taken to the hospital, but a nurse visited my house later that day to basically tell me I could die if I took a nap. That's a fun thing to tell a 13 year old...
On top of that, I played high school football. I have a few hits the knocked the shit out of me. I've probably been concussed 3-4 times in my lifetime. I hope I don't get all depressed and shoot myself. I wonder if I can sue the NFL without ever playing in the NFL.
