The Schadenfreude Heard ‘Round The World

The Second Stupidest Way An Athlete Can Hurt Himself Over Thanksgiving Weekend

Via You Been Blinded and KRAL.com comes some pretty shitty news about former NBA player and perennial member of my vaunted All-Lefty NBA Live teams, Rodney Rogers:

Friends in Durham are rallying around former pro-basketball player Rodney Rogers. Rogers, who lives in the Triangle, suffered serious injuries in an all-terrain vehicle crash Friday night in Vance County. A horseback riding group, “Black Trail Riders,” said Sunday they are planning a benefit ride in a few weeks for Rogers. Friends say his condition is uncertain and that he may have suffered some paralysis.

Fuck, that sucks. Here’s arguably Rodney’s finest seconds and one of my all-time favorite NBA highlights:


Also, as luck would have it, Google was extremely helpful with finding what caring, compassionate people normally say in times like these. I’ll even blockquote it so it means more:

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rodney, his family and friends during this tough time and we wish him a quick and speedy recovery.

    So, an ATV ride for an ATV accident for an ATV fundraiser?

    Sorta like a target shooting night to raise money for Plaxico…
