This will go on the list of odd and embarrassing injuries (my favorite is the baseball player who had a nightmare about spiders, sleep walked, and fell down the stairs).

Moral of the story, use beds for their intended purposes!

Yeah I think that was Glenallen Hill, and he might have walked through a glass screen door or something like that back when he was with the Blue Jays.

Why do we remember this crap, crandc?

Indeed. Beds should only be used for smothering the elderly while they try to sleep.

Number 2
Glenallen Hill - Toronto Blue Jays
Along came a spider

What does Glenallen Hill and Little Miss Muffet have in common? They both have a fear of spiders. Hill, who suffers from arachnophobia, was trying to get a goodnight’s sleep, but in the middle of his dream, along came a spider. Hill had a nightmare in which he was being chased by an eight-legged freak and he subsequently tumbled out of bed, cut his foot on a glass table and fell down a flight of stairs while sleepwalking. After this much-publicized incident, fans in opposing stadiums tagged him with the unpleasant nickname of “Spiderman.”

if you are going to sleep with knives, you better be careful about the type of apples you invite into your bed.
 
The story seems highly suspicious to me, but who knows?
 
I am just glad KP drafted the old man with no teeth. No need for knives to eat apple sauce.

Just sayin'

EDIT - Just hope I am not going to hear about him poking his eye out with a spoon or something. Tfu tfu, touch wood.
 
he probably got in a bar fight at a strip club and got stabbed in the face while drinking sour apple puckers.

My other favorite is John Smoltz, who once ironed his shirt, while he was wearing it.
 
I guess it's the price of fame -- every stupid move is news. Yesterday, I got a little excited about a new bluetooth headset and cut my finger opening the package. If I were a pitcher (and it was actually baseball season), I'd have had to miss a start and that would've made the news.

Anyway, who gets excited about new headsets? I'm such a loser that it hurts me.

I don't know, sometimes that plastic packaging is a bitch.

I had one of those moments two weeks ago. I was listening to my voicemail on my Sidekick and I was folding laundry with my hands so I had the phone wedged between my ear and my shoulder. I moved wrong, though, and the phone started to slip, so I reached up to catch it, hitting it JUST right so that the phone "flipped" open.

And it flipped open directly into my left eye.

I could barely see out of it for the next 24 hours and it took almost a week for it to get back to a pain-free state.

Very very fishy story, to say the least. Who cuts an apple in bed? Who even cuts an apple, for Pete's sake? And how could a kitchen knife create a wound that requires 10 stitches? The story says the Bulls' trainer drove Rose to the hospital at 8 am (!) So who wakes up in the morning, goes to the kitchen and gets a knife, then returns with knife and apple to bed?
 
Eh, I could believe it. I've seen dumber things happen.
 
I don't see how a 10 stitch wound is possible in that scenario, unless he was having sex with or on the knife.
Or unless they were very small stitches, or it was a very very big knife, or his skin is very thin.

I suspect he fell off the back of Monta Ellis' moped onto the knife.

Knife slips, slices his arm open. I'll bet it happens hundreds of thousands of times a day in America. Millions of times.

Knives are death traps.

No they aren't. A trap would be more like something that hurts you that you wouldn't expect to.

I don't buy it because of the 8 am part. It would be more realistic if it were noon.

Clearly, we need knife control laws in this country!

Knives everywhere are out to maim and kill innocent people! :ohno:
 
We don't need knives or guns. Sporks are all humans need these days.
 
I don't know what happened, but it wasn't weirder than crashing a car while masturbating, then crashing another car into a moving train.

Eddie Griffin, RIP. You could drive the lane, but not the highway.
 
Well if Michael Scott can step on a Forman Grill while cooking bacon in bed, then I guess I should compliment Rose on his healthy breakfast choices.

Because of the tendency to remember the bizarre. It's like "man bites dog". No doubt hundreds of players have lost time due to an ankle sprain, but what is so remarkable about that?

As to the cut being too big, as a cook, I have to think he was using the wrong knife. A lot of people do slice apples before eating them, but all that takes is a paring or fruit knife, not a 12" carving knife or chef's knife.
