NFL cornerback Levi Wallace retires at 31<\/a> <\/p>\n

Levi Wallace, 31, is hanging up his cleats after an eight-year NFL career that began when he signed as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama. (This video contains AI-assisted content)<\/p>\n

New York Giants<\/a> running back Cam Skattebo is going to take years off of fans’ lives.<\/p>\n

The second-year running back out of Arizona State had a great rookie season that was unfortunately cut short due to injury.<\/p>\n

He’s on the mend, but if he keeps doing stuff like he did at Fanatics Fest<\/a> on Saturday, he may wind up back on IR.<\/p>\n

Skattebo made an appearance at WWE’s Fanatics Fest activation, where fans could recreate the entrances of their favorite wrestlers.<\/p>\n

Skattebo chose Triple H and walked out to his Mot\u00f6rhead entrance music, “The Game.”<\/p>\n

But instead of blasting a mouthful of Dasani like Old Faithful, as Triple H used to do, Skattebo decided to make the celebration his own.<\/p>\n

He pointed to his bum leg and then decided to do something that put every Giants fan’s heart in their throat: a backflip.<\/p>\n

All Giants fans watching probably yelped like a small dog when they saw the way Skattebo’s surgically repaired right leg twisted on the landing.<\/p>\n

He needs that. It’s one of his runnin’ legs.<\/p>\n

While I have no clue if it was before or after Skattebo suffered the biggest backflip botch since a Savannah Bananas player went on CNN<\/a>, he booted a nice field goal with his left foot at some point in the day.<\/p>\n

Skattebo is quite the, uh, character, and it’s hilarious to imagine the conversations the Giants are probably having with him.<\/p>\n

No NFL front office thinks they have to tell a player, “Hey, quick reminder: you suffered a very serious leg injury about nine months ago. It’s probably not a good idea to do backflips while walking out to Triple H’s music. You should probably have known that, but consider this a reminder.”<\/p>\n

But, hey, Cam Skattebo is just built different.<\/p>\n
