Yeah, he did it to his best friend and favorite receiver (ball catcher), but he sure as hell didn't mean it and nobody felt worse about it than JG. It happens...just not often and when it does, it was accidental. To have it be your favorite receiver and best friend...that just makes it exponentially worse for jimmy.
I don't want to think of this team with no George. Take your best Offensive player , and have him out ....it is just too awful to even comprehend. OTOH, i really like him sitting out this game at least and maybe some others. When i saw the replay ,and again and again....i was sure he tore an ACL, MCL, or either anterior or posterior cruciates. Same for meniscus. It was THAT bad. Don't know how far that knee got hyperextended, but on me it would have just broken off. If he truly didn't damage something, it is a miracle.
