We try to keep up with former Boilermakers here and since this happened in an NBA game Friday night, you might not even know about it. However, Dirk Nowitzki drove on Carl Landry and Dirk's elbow smashed into Carl's mouth, which "left Landry with five cracked or completely knocked-out teeth." Guess which player was grimacing in pain on the floor afterwards? Hint: it wasn't a Boilermaker.
Yes, that's right, Carl Landry simply walked towards the bench with his mouth closed tightly, clearly hoping to keep whatever remaining teeth he had (as well as a likely flow of blood) contained in his maw. He simply points to himself in the below video saying, "Yeah, me, I need to come out."
Alas, poor Dirk -- he missed the rest of Friday's game (and didn't play Sunday) after Mavs trainers needed a half hour to "remove pieces of two teeth embedded in [his] elbow." Yikes.

wow... I'm not sure what else to say.
I remember a paper in New Orleans during the tourney said he should be playing tight end instead of basketball. Nothing is more badass than seeing him show no signs of pain, more like inconvenience.
"Carl Landy is a boilermakers"
???!!! He is plural?
Yes, Matt - Carl is so tough that he is plural instead of singular. He is Chuck Norris tough.
Speaking of Carl: J, do you hear Landry's name mispronounced a lot? I think the idiots at EsPN still don't know his name.
I have a feeling Carl will be investing in a mouthguard for future games.
And how the heck can you mispronounce Carl Landry? Seems pretty straightforward, but I don't watch many Rockets games. It's great that he's doing so well in the NBA, though.
Laundry? Land-rye? Lando?
Let's not forget that Carl got shot in a drive by last year and only missed 3 weeks. Next time, Dirk better bring the kryptonite
I heard ESPN call #5 "Kee-tawn" Grant.
They'll screw up anything.
That was a fucking charge. Dirk N. Got away with one bigtime.
Oh yeah, Carl Landry is a badass. Way to represent, Carl!
Dirk isn't exactly a sissie, let's be honest. Carl's look of "yeah, I'll need a sub now, that's all." is priceless. Players may be afraid to drive on him from here on out. He'll knock you on the floor... with his teeth and his badass stare.
Boiler Up!
