Taking Crazy Pills
Freaking computer I'm on has no sound card, so I don't know if this is in the video above or not, Gameday (out of town, only time I watch this crap) is reporting Vrabel stirring the pot this week ripping into the defense. Reminded me of when he tossed the playbook at Bollman. Hopefully we see some inspired play tonight.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Still one of my all-time favorite stories. Can you imagine?
Bollman: "There's nothing wrong with our offense."
Vrabel: "BULLSHIT! Dave left, Dave left, incomplete, punt. Wash... rinse... repeat. (throws playbook)"
Priceless.

Props to Vrabel, the DL has developed pretty nicely. Tremendous coach and recruiter.

ESPN article:
Why don't NFL players wear cups?
For a moment, I soared.
Then, just as I passed over the goal line and gravity began to pull me and the football back down toward the FieldTurf and what was sure to be an awkward, unpleasant landing, the thought suddenly occurred to me that I was, more than likely, about to guillotine my junk.
Clearly, once again, I had not thought my assignment all the way through.
It was no one's fault but my own. After all, the idea for this particular experiment has been percolating since, oh, 2006. Then, as luck would have it, I suppose, during the Monday night game on Nov. 25, Robert Griffin III dropped back to pass and, instead, got kicked squarely in the family jewels by the 49ers' Aldon Smith. A week later, karma caught back up to the 49ers when, facing the Rams, tight end Vernon Davis hauled in a pass on a crossing route near the 40-yard line. A nation of men watching along at home then squirmed, winced, writhed, broke out in a cold sweat and then collectively collapsed into the fetal position as safety T.J. McDonald proceeded to tackle Davis from behind by seizing, um, by wrenching his, uh … oh forget it, I'll just let Vernon tell you: "… grabbing me right there in that space, that area, and I kept telling him, 'Let go, get off me, get off me' and he wouldn't let me go."

I suppose it could be worse. I mean, Aussie footballer Anthony Watts was recently suspended for eight games for biting an opponent's penis during a match. In the book "NFL Unplugged: The Brutal, Brilliant World of Professional Football," author Anthony Gargano included this little gem from former Eagles linebacker Ike Reese about what happens while players scramble for a fumble at the bottom of the pile, a place where crotches become every bit as much a target as the ball. "[Former Patriots linebacker] Mike Vrabel grabbed my sac," Reese recalled. "We're all scrambling for the ball and Vrabel had my nuts so hard I was screaming."

Vrabel could be on the move. Waiting to see if there are any legs to this.

Wait ... since Luke & Vrabel are attached at the hip... does this mean Luke is gone too?
