Horrible spot. And according to everybody that was around Youngblood, he really didn't break his leg per say.

If I ever have grandkids, I'll always tell them about the day I saw a guy named Emmitt dominate a game in pain that I couldn't imagine.

Just a FYI...did you see SI.com's MMQB by Steve Sabol this morning?

Best Runner With No Speed: Walt Garrison

Running back Walt Garrison played nine seasons for the Cowboys from 1966 to '74.
Walter Iooss Jr./SI

As Garrison's Cowboys teammate Don Meredith once said, "Walt's slower than the steam off horse manure, but he's dependable. He always hits the right hole and never fumbles." Coach Tom Landry explained Garrison's value this way, "If you need three yards, Walt'll get you three yards; if you need five yards, Walt'll get you three yards." What Garrison lacked in speed he made up for in toughness. He led the Cowboys to a 17-10 win over San Francisco in the 1970 NFC Championship game playing with a dislocated shoulder.
