DeAngelo Hall’s ankles (1983-2015)

The world was a bit gloomier on Wednesday morning, as news of the passing of DeAngelo Hall’s ankles spread across the web. Hall’s ankles, which at one time showed Hall of Fame promise, were murdered in cold blood by Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

According to witnesses (and captured on Hard Knocks), Hopkins and Hall had been jawing at each other during a scrimmage between the Washington Redskins and the Texans. None too pleased with being touched by the cornerback, Hopkins found retaliation by murdering his opponents ankles in cold blood.

When asked to comment on the gruesome display of inhumanity, Hopkins showed little contrition. In fact, some in attendance have given testimony that the third-year wideout appeared quite proud, and seemingly claimed that he was merely a vessel delivering divine retribution.

There have been conflicting reports regarding the incident, with some along the social media landscape claiming that Hall’s ankles are not dead, but merely missing. A search to find them is currently underway, though many feel it is merely in vain.

It was a great run for Hall’s ankles. Over the course of 11 NFL seasons they were a part of 135 passes defended, 43 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles. The ankles also found the end zone nine times, the last trip being in 2013, and were a part of three Pro Bowls.

DeAngelo Hall’s ankles may be gone, but they shall never be forgotten.

R.I.P.
