Scoreboards

Injuries are a part of every sport, no matter what the degree of physical exertion required. However, it seems that for a player to get injured, they do not necessarily need to be playing a particularly physical game, or in some cases they do not need to be playing at all to get injured. In some cases, as you will see, getting injured and missing a game are not mutually inclusive. Without further ado, here are the 3 “baseball scoreboards” most freakish and weird injuries that a MLB player has sustained and missed a game as a result.

Yao Ming – China
Yao Ming was first drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2002. He was the rookie of the year in 2003. In the first three years of his career this iconic giant lived up to the expectations and hype that his presence in the league created. He also increased interest in the league in Asia massively. However, currently he is stuck in the realm of injuries and he might even have to retire. He has missed large parts of the last few seasons and has played only five matches so far this season. He remains very popular among NBA fans all over the world, and we all hope that he can still recover from his endless injuries and put in a good run of games.

Barcelona is the favorite to win the title this year and no doubt Arsenal did a great job defeating the favorites. Every expert, analyst and fan waited for this intriguing match up. The match was a thriller and the end result a surprise. With Barcelona practically unbeatable up to now, the soccer scoreboards question is, what went wrong? Here is a rundown:

Every team in every sport requires young talent to come through the ranks every year, so that they can replace their non-performing or players that have become a bit too old for the game (Jamie Moyer, anyone?) Being an older player doesn’t necessarily means they are not performing (again, Jamie Moyer!) but their fitness starts to deteriorate, which can cause inconsistencies in their performances. However, the point remains, rookies are important and here are the top 3 rookies with the greatest potential coming into 2011.

Arsenal is an English club nicknamed as The Gunners. It has a team with a great history, that is dearly loved and supported by its fans. Arsenal does not have scores of expensive stars such as Chelsea or Manchester City, but it has had some of the most admired players in the world on its books over the years, such as Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vierira.

Football is like a religion for America and their teams are like Gods to many fans. So, needless to say the fans put their teams on pedestals that are so high, they usually get dizzy and fall at one time or the other!

So, regardless to say, when their teams and/or players don’t perform they get (to put it mildly) disappointed. And thus; rise up, the top 3 most disappointing players in the NFL in 2010!
