Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch injured his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game against Green Bay...while celebrating a sack.
After sacking Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, Tulloch jumped in the air and threw his arms back while thrusting his hips as he landed in an apparent attempt to imitate Rodgers' trademark "championship belt" celebration. Unfortunately, Tulloch's knee gave out and he fell to the ground in pain.
Tulloch tried to keep playing, but left the game for good shortly afterwards. Despite the humiliation of injuring himself in such avoidable fashion, Tulloch said after the game "I'm not embarrassed."
UPDATE: Tulloch has a torn ACL and is out for the season. So, Stephen, was it worth it?
