  Superbowl XXIII - San Francisco vs. Cincinnati Bengals - Tim Krumrie refuses to go to hospital

  Tim Krumrie was a rising star for the Cincinnati Bengals, elected to the Pro Bowl in 1987 and 1988. On the 14th play of Super Bowl XXIII, while trying to tackle Roger Craig, Krumrie suffered a broken leg when his cleats caught in the turf, and his leg graphically flopped around--and typically, it took the announcers two replays to see it.
  
  Supposedly, Krumrie stayed in the locker room until the game was finished, refusing to leave his teammates.
  
  He then had a 15-inch rod inserted in his leg to repair two breaks in his tibia and one in his fibula, yet he returned to training camp the following summer. Krumrie played for six more years, although it is generally believed never up to the form he displayed before the injury.
  
  Sah damals echt schlimm aus. Wer es gesehen hat, wird das bestätigen. Krasser Typ ...
