I feel like if an injury is career threatening, I feel bad for the player, no matter what team he's on.

If he's on any team but the Cowboys, Giants, or Eagles, then I feel sorry for non-career threatening injuries too.

But if we're talking about an NFC East division rival and he's in a lot of pain, as long as it's not career threatening, I'm enjoying myself seeing him hurt. Maybe that makes me mean, but it's hard to justify getting enjoyment out of a big Sean Taylor hit and at the same time turning around and feeling sorry for the guy who got hit.

In Coakley's case, I feel real sorry for him, because first I have no problem with the Rams, and secondly it seems to be career threatening. I never like to see someone's career and what they love to do for a living go up in smoke.

But I'd love to see a Julius Jones concussion or a Jeremy Shockey sprained knee.
