Stephen Tulloch Isn't Embarrassed About His Injury [VIDEO]

When I saw the way Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch was injuried on Sunday, I couldn't help but to think of similar injuries to former kicker Bill Gramatica and former Lions quarterback Gus Frerrote. Both Frerrote and Gramatica injured themselves while celebrating big plays and Tulloch did the same.

Tulloch had just sacked Packers QB Aaron Rodgers in Sundays Lions win and it looked as if he was trying to do the Rodgers "discount double-check" celebration when he felt a shooting pain in his knee and went down. Tulloch did not return to the game and now awaits test results to see how bad the injury is.

After the game I had a chance to ask Tulloch if he should be compared to Gramatica and Frerrote?

Watch the video to hear his response. Tulloch also talks about if he is embarrassed by the way he got injured.

Also make sure to check out the Gramatica and Frerrote videos of them getting injured while celebrating and make sure to let us know which one is the worst?
