When The Joe Theismann Video Isn’t Enough Anymore

Have you ever caught yourself thinking that, no, in fact, you don't know nearly enough about Chris Simms's ruptured spleen? Well then, Sport Science is for you.

Granted, the first episode is scary. Entitled "Field Warriors," it looks at and analyzes a number of horrific sports injuries, including the ruptured spleen of Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback Chris Simms.

Any show that can be described using any combination of the words "horrific", "sports" and "injuries" is A.O.K. with me. This particular episode also analyzes Clint Malarchuk's jugular injury, which is the only reason I know his name. I had always hoped that "Blood on the Ice", "Death by Knockout" and "Football's Greatest Injuries" would one day come true. Oh, happy day!

Sport Science is on FSN, which means that you probably aren't getting it, and if you are, you're paying too much for it. But chances are good it, like every other TV series ever in the history of time, will be out on DVD shortly.

Sadly, this pass was intercepted.
