Anyone else think RGIII was faking it after fumble?

Nope. Didn't think so at all. Thought he was in very serious pain, and might not get off the field on his own.

You continue to show your classlessness and ignorance. Atta boy Mighty.
I'm sure it was just a technological glitch on everybody's TV that his knee gave in and bent sideways.

Doesn't take much to turn a knee or have it move, even slightly, in the worng direction to experience severe pain. Unless you have had a knee injury, you never know how it really feels. I know and it ain't fun. Playing hockey, got my left knee caught between a player and the boards when hit, torn miniscus as a result! Swelled like crazy!

Verdict is torn acl and pcl and will be out for 14-18 months. Nah, don't think he was faking. -

Mighty - really?
If you've got that recorded, rewatch what his knee does as he tries to plant to get the ball. it completely buckles on him. As one who's torn both ACL's, it always bothers me to watch such things.
The one thing that I did say to my wife was that I was surprised that the brace he had on did a really poor job of supporting his knee.
The guy should have never been playing.

They never should have played him in the first place. He was clearly hobbled and they risked the franchise by sticking him in there. Pretty shortsighted on their part.

That story has been recanted, but I think it's pretty obvious he was hurt. -

He was flopping. Made no effort to recover the ball. That's why I love BB's Pats - every one of his players would be fighting tooth and nail for that ball.

Well let's see, he singlehandely lost the game for his team by fumbling, then, instead of trying to get the ball back, he tried to avoid the blame by pretending he hurt himself on the play.

That would be called Pulling a Santonio Holmes. I actually cringed watching the replay.

Do you guys think Brady would of taken himself out of the game if he was hurting his team's chances of winning? I think he would, and RG3 should of done the same, because his coach obviously wasn't thinking when he kept him there. But then again, RG3 would of get crushed by the media and fans alike..calling him soft..and a quitter ala Jay Cutler...

Great question. I don't think he would, though. Not because he's selfish, but because he's just such an intense competitor. -
