WASHINGTON—Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann saw Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward’s broken left tibia and dislocated ankle and immediately felt a kind of empathy few could. Theismann says he’s available to chat with Hayward if the NBA player wants. It’s just such a shame,” Theismann said in a telephone interview Wednesday, the day after Hayward was hurt in the first quarter of his first game with Boston. When Theismann tweeted, “Felt so bad for Hayward,” it resonated in a different way than the thoughts expressed by so many others.
