Greatest Hits Countdown

Extreme show that counts down the top 10 most gruesome, hard-hitting crashes and impacts from popular sports.

Tonight's episode counts down most painful football tackles.

The #1 victim spot goes to Texas Tech place kicker Tony Rogers. In a 1995 game against Texas Longhorns, in a fake field goal play, Rogers is tackled by defensive end Tony Brackens.

Lost footage from the game surfaced after the Longhorns' 48-7 victory over Tech that showed various members of the Longhorns team repeatedly tackling and stampeding over the same place kicker, knocking off his helmet, shoulder pads and even his shoes amidst the chaos of both teams and marching bands scattering across the field.

Coincidentally, both Tonys wore #98.
