It is hard out here

Saturday Morning Caffeine Fueled Rant

The NFL has implemented rule changes that are intended to further protect the quarterback. That sound you hear is Johnny Unitas spinning in his grave so fast the heat could unthaw Ted Williams.

Are NFL players getting too soft? You decide. Johnny Unitas once rallied his team to a win with mud caked on his shattered nose and split lip to stem the gushing blood. Wide receiver David Boston once begged out of a Charger scrimmage because his nipples were sore from their recent piercing.

Picture, if you will, an NFL field of dreams. A bloody, mud-caked Johnny Unitas asks a toothless bloody, mud-caked Ray Nitschke why David Boston is sauntering off the field cupping his pectorals. Nitschke replies dead-panned;

“His nipple piercing’s are sore.” Unitas blinks hard and states flatly;

“Tell him to use Bactine, we don’t want them to get infected like my Prince Albert did.”

Both Hall of Famer’s then have to receive oxygen from laughing too hard.
