Appalachian State’s football team has been something of a media darling since upsetting Michigan in 2007.  Also, that pageant chick with the terrible case of babbling was quoted saying she aspired to go there!

But today, Appalachian State had some bad news: their quarterback, three-time All-American Armanti Edwards, is out for 2-4 weeks with….a mowing injury?  Yup. He was mowing his lawn.  Now, UPH lives in what we’ll charitably call an urban mecca (there’s certainly enough traffic!), and thus has no lawn.  But we’re pretty sure we’ve previously mowed one without running over our foot…

Other sports injuries that make UPH feel coordinated?

–In 2001, Leeds United’s Rio Ferdinand spent too long with his feet on the coffee table…and strained a muscle in his tendon when he got up for his next beer.

–in 1995, Milan Rapaic of Hajduk Split in the Balkans missed a game after he stuck his boarding pass in his eye while boarding his flight.

–Atlanta Braves manager Roger Craig once cut his hand on a bra strap.  We assume he took one for the team and kept playing…

–Ken Griffey Jr. once missed a game because he pinched himself in his own cup. Ow. UPH clearly has not ever done this, but we told this story to our boyfriend, and he cringed.

–And finally, relief pitcher Greg Harris of the Texas Rangers injured his wrist….flicking sunflower seeds in the dugout.
