Really? for all i know he still got game. He just got some issues and causing distraction for the team that's why he aint playing for the cowboys previous to the gunshot incident. But i dunno if his game's gone now because of the self-inflicted gunshot wound he got recently. But from what i heard it's not that serious.

Mike tyson would have to have a mention, i know he still acheived alot but could of gone on to so much more.

Bo Jackson. Plaxico just needs to disappear. Why the fuck would a professional athelete need a gun at a night club?

what about David Duvall.

Not an injury which kind of makes it more pathetic.

Roberto Di Matteo, the Lazio and Chelsea player was just reaching his peak when he sufferred a triple fracture of his leg which he never fully recoverd from.

Mohammad Ali, not an injury just good ole uncle sam.

Good call on magic Johnson, it was disgusting how he got forced out of the game by his fellow players. He was a great player though, defineitley a legend of the game
