Cooper Manning Sits Another One Out
With Joel Zumaya about to be activated off of the DL by the Tigers, it got us thinking about the injury he suffered late last year, when he missed a portion of the ALDS because of intense “Guitar Hero” playing. An amazing story if there ever was one.
Although that is the only video game-related injury we’ve ever heard reported happening to a professional athlete, we’re pretty damn sure there have been others in the past that went unreported:
One can only imagine the pinching, scratching and slapping that went on in the Manning household over a game of Bubble Bobble. And it’s pretty easy to see Nate Robinson as that spastic kid everyone knew that stood up and moved his entire body while playing Street Fighter 2.
As if flailing around like a fish out of water would make T. Hawk any better of a character. God that guy fucking sucked.
Post your video game injury possibilities in the comments …

Wow.
Nate moving his entire body is TOO VISUALLY spot on.
I bet he crashed through the floor of his third story log cabin in the Great Northwest while playing with the old school track Nintendo track pad.

“Well, the block looked like it was going to scrape over the outer left half of the screen. If I’m not getting that block in there, I’m not that effective of a pitcher, err, I mean player.”
