You know, we have a whole category of stories related to crazy baseball injuries because those happen all the time. Less common are the weird football injuries considering most are the result of a guy being pancaked by a 300-pounder. Anyway, ranking right up there with Brandon Marshall’s slipping on a McDonald’s bag injury, we have Lions WR Bryant Johnson who got hurt in a golf cart accident:
As he got undressed at his locker Saturday afternoon, Detroit Lions receiver Bryant Johnson showed the scars and still-healing wounds from a golf cart accident he was involved in this summer. The cuts and abrasions covered almost every part of his body.
…
“There are no orthopedic issues with it, a lot of superficial wounds, road rash and those kinds of things. Johnson said: “In the community that I live in, everybody uses golf carts to get around. (The golf car) got out of control and it was on two wheels and it fell over. I was driving, and it fell over on my side. It slid about 10 yards. There was a hill, but it wasn’t a steep hill.”
What’s he doing, popping wheelies on the golf cart Jeff Kent-style? I’m sure he’s taking some crap from his teammates for that one. It does sound pretty legit and serious, but when it comes to football every play you’re not on the field makes it harder to crack the 53-man roster on Sundays.
