[Sportscolumn is running down the ten dumbest in-game injuries in sports. Here’s #2.]
Most players get excited when they play in NFL’s spotlight game, but Gus Frerotte probably went a wee bit overboard in 1997. After a touchdown in the second quarter, Washington quarterback Frerotte, for some unknown reason, celebrated by ramming his head into a thinly padded cement wall during a game against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football that ended in a 7-7 tie. The Redskins numbskull was rushed via ambulance to the nearest hospital where doctors diagnosed him with a concussion. He fought bouts of wooziness for the rest of the season.
There is no truth to the rumor that upon finding out the final score, Frerotte asked who won.

this one is a doozy — It’s hard to believe there’s a dumber injury than this one, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
