The Year's Most Covered and Least Significant Injury

Clemson running back Ray Ray McElrathbey is a very nice man you've probably heard all about before -- due to familial hijinks, McElrathbey is the guardian of his little brother Farmar, something which was important enough to draw ESPN's Shelley Smithy away from her permanent job shadowing Pete Carroll -- but his ACL fails to live up to Ray Ray's high standards:

McElrathbey was injured during practice Thursday and spokesman Tim Bourret confirmed Friday that he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

This is unlikely to affect Clemson in any way with the terrifying one-two punch of James Davis and CJ Spiller (pictured) returning, but you can expect sepia-toned tributes to his remarkable perseverance on ESPN, as completely over-covering sap is ESPN's modus operandi. This injury gives them an opportunity to revisit the touching but so done McElrathbey saga; woe upon those wishing to see actual analysis.

I mean... not that I have anything against McElrathbey; I just worry about the prospect of my eyes rolling so far up into my head that they just stick there, causing me to miss precious college football in the ER.
