00:00Sorry, we were just talking about David's eighth grade field trip.
00:04All right, let's get to it.
00:06It was a great story, David, but it's not for air.
00:08Let's get to some football, shall we?
00:10Get back to your calls in a second.
00:12Go ahead, David.
00:15Well, this isn't the eighth grade trip, but let's get to some NFL here.
00:19And an interesting list I wanted to go through, have fun with it,
00:23is the top 10 most promising careers ruined by injury or I'll say circumstance.
00:28All right, give us a time frame because I think Stoney is going to dominate this
00:32like Shaq in the paint.
00:34Oh, because I see.
00:36What's the oldest player on the list?
00:38It goes back to the 80s.
00:39Okay.
00:39All right.
00:39So here's what I'm going to do.
00:41I want to step back.
00:42This has got godfather of sports radio written all over this.
00:46Mike Stone, the top 10 careers derailed by injury, NFL style.
00:51I take that back.
00:52The 90s.
00:53It goes back to the 90s, not the 80s.
00:55I'm sorry.
00:55So you're post-Coke years.
00:56Okay.
00:57You're ready.
00:57I'm ready.
00:58Here we go.
01:00Do I have to guess before you?
01:02You can give me a guess.
01:04Sure.
01:05Mr. Beach Football, Robert Williams, right?
01:08That's Robert Edwards.
01:09Robert Edwards.
01:09He is not on this list.
01:11Really?
01:12Correct.
01:13Okay.
01:14All right.
01:15Names.
01:16Let me offer one.
01:17May I?
01:17Yes.
01:18What about Garrison Hurst?
01:19Had the ankle injury, lost all blood flow to the ankle.
01:22At the time of the injury, he was one of the best backs in the league.
01:26He is not on this list.
01:28What about one that actually happened, I believe, at the Silverdome?
01:32Kajana Carter.
01:34Not on this list.
01:35Okay.
01:35I want to take back the part where I said Stoney would dominate this game.
01:38I mean, higher profile.
01:40I'll give you number 10 and maybe you can get an idea.
01:43Number 10.
01:44Cam Chancellor.
01:49I mean, you acted like you were going to say Walter Payton.
01:53I know.
01:53It's like, who cares about Cam Chancellor?
01:55He was a really good player.
01:57Legion of Boom.
01:58I know.
01:59Number nine.
02:01Bo Jackson.
02:02Bo Jackson is on this list.
02:03All right.
02:04Number five.
02:05On a toss sweep, blows his hip out.
02:07That's as far back as it goes.
02:09The 90s with Bo Jackson.
02:10Everybody else is more recent.
02:12Okay.
02:13Number nine.
02:15Give us in.
02:15Give us in.
02:17Oh, okay.
02:19Played for an NFC East team.
02:22Okay.
02:24Quarterback.
02:27Robert Griffin III.
02:28Well, he's number eight, Robert Griffin III.
02:32But this quarterback was having an MVP year before he first got hurt in the NFL.
02:37Carson Wentz.
02:38Good pull.
02:38Carson Wentz.
02:39Good pull.
02:41He was about to save gingers for all.
02:44When he said NFC East, I was going to say, does death count?
02:48Jerome Brown.
02:49Okay.
02:50No.
02:50Okay.
02:51I will tell you this.
02:52Jerome Brown's not on this list, but death is one reason one player's career was cut short.
02:57This is.
02:58Wow.
02:59Okay.
02:59Robert Griffin III.
03:00I didn't want to say that.
03:01I was saying circumstance.
03:02When Shanahan put him back in there with a knee brace the size of Stoney's head and he
03:08blew out in the playoff game.
03:09Who did you say?
03:10RG3.
03:11RG3.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Number eight.
03:13The next one.
03:14Number seven.
03:15Okay.
03:16Played in the NFC Central.
03:22Are you making divisions up?
03:25The old NFC Central.
03:26Okay.
03:27So he gave away a clue.
03:28Yeah.
03:28Okay.
03:29I want to make sure, Dave.
03:30Had a brother that also played in the NFL.
03:34Oh, um, shoot.
03:41One more hint.
03:42He caught a pass in this city in the playoffs.
03:49Wait a minute.
03:50Wait a minute.
03:50May I?
03:52Sterling Sharp.
03:53Sterling Sharp is it.
03:54Yes.
03:55Yes.
03:56Green Bay Packers, Sterling Sharp.
03:57We all know what happened with his career.
03:59See, I was going looking for Tampa because they were in the NFC.
04:02The old Bay of Pigs.
04:04Yes.
04:04I tricked you up when I say the NFC Central.
04:06Yes.
04:06A number six played for my team was supposed to be the next great linebacker.
04:12Ryan Shazier.
04:13Ryan Shazier.
04:14Yes.
04:15Awful.
04:15Because he was becoming quite good.
04:18And then was it neck or spinal or both?
04:21It was both.
04:21Okay.
04:22It was both.
04:23Now, what is he doing now?
04:25He's doing stuff for, um.
04:27Wasn't it not with the NFLPA, is it?
04:29Yeah.
04:29I believe he still is.
04:30Yeah.
04:31So you got Bo Jackson at number five.
04:33Number four.
04:34All right.
04:35We're doing okay.
04:35We're getting momentum.
04:36Number four was a tight end for an AFC East team.
04:41He was paired up with another tight end.
04:44Aaron Hernandez.
04:45I was going to say Aaron Hernandez.
04:46Yeah.
04:46I think serial killer might not have been on our bingo board.
04:50I said circumstances.
04:52Yeah, you did say circumstances.
04:53That's true.
04:54I was going to say, I thought you said ruined by injury or circumstance.
04:56That's circumstance.
04:57Yes.
04:57Killing people and going to jail for life.
05:00That is a circumstance.
05:02Number three.
05:03This player retired.
05:05Retired.
05:06Because he dealt with a ton of injuries and it was a shock when he retired.
05:11Can I place my first guess?
05:13Yes.
05:13Andrew Luck.
05:14That is the greatest guess ever.
05:16That is right.
05:17Nice job.
05:18Andrew Luck.
05:19Nice job.
05:20That was a bummer.
05:20I think we were all bummed out to see his career shortened.
05:22Yeah.
05:23We all wanted to see what he looked like.
05:24In the middle of a preseason game.
05:26Right.
05:26As everyone in the stands is getting the news.
05:29That was kind of wild.
05:30Number two on this list.
05:36Former.
05:37What division were they in?
05:39Let's go.
05:40This team moved.
05:41This team moved.
05:43He was on the team before they moved to a city in the Midwest.
05:50He was a running back.
05:52It's got to be somebody from the Rams when they moved to St. Louis.
05:56Hold on.
05:56Are you saying the team moved to the Midwest?
05:59No.
05:59They moved from the Midwest.
06:02Okay.
06:02Oh, okay.
06:03So he was a good conservative.
06:05Oh, I got it.
06:05May I?
06:06Yes.
06:07Would it be Todd Gurley?
06:09That is correct.
06:09Yes.
06:10That is correct.
06:12We were on the same team.
06:12He retired at like 26.
06:14Yep.
06:15Once again, Kenny.
06:17We do not pay running backs.
06:19That a baby.
06:20That's what the money's for.
06:21There's too many of these, Mike.
06:22I'm tired of it.
06:27Last one, guys.
06:28Number one on the list.
06:30And Stoney kind of hinted at it when he brought up death.
06:35Great player.
06:37Stoney's killing people off.
06:38I'm here to listen.
06:39Great player.
06:40Derek Thomas.
06:42Played at the U.
06:45Sean Taylor.
06:46Sean Taylor.
06:47Yes.
06:48Kenny, if you've never seen this, go pull up Sean Taylor in the Pro Bowl.
06:53Assassinating a punter.
06:54Mormon was the name of the punter, right?
06:56Well, he's dead too.
06:57Yeah.
06:58So you can take a look at that.
07:00There's a reason they don't play the Pro Bowl anymore.
07:02Yes.
07:03No, no.
07:04This is great.
07:05Kenny on sports.
07:06Things that happened before Kenny's time.
07:08Oh, it's been four years.
07:10He still won't watch the Broad Street Bullies documentary I've been asking for.
07:14Because that takes two hours.
07:15We're asking Kenny for 10 seconds.
07:17Right.
07:17Yes.
07:18I'm going to stand up for Kenny in that regard.
07:20I'm going to have to watch the whole thing.
07:21You've got him watching seven hours of Flyers grainy footage.
07:24All right.
07:26Nice job on this.
07:27We gained momentum.
07:29You did.
07:30That's David's look at career-ending injuries.
07:3297-1.
07:33I'm going to have to watch the whole thing on.
