Carson Palmer
22 January 2009
Steeler von Oelhoffen, who started his career in Cincinnati, for the nasty hit on Bengals’ QB Carson Palmer, busting his knee and effectively knocking the Bengals out of the 2005 playoffs. This act inspired the NFL Rules Committee to enact the “Kimo Clause,” which requires defenders to stay away from hitting defenseless QBs below the knees. Gillooly, the ex-husband of white-trash ice princess Tonya Harding, is the man who spearheaded the 1994 plot to knock out rival figure skater Nancy Kerrigan from competition, by taking a metal rod to her knee one month before the Olympics. Fittingly, Gillooly will be singing Boyz II Men's "On Bended Knee."
