The Link Snake collar tackle! Would love to see the ref giving that signal. What's that pink thing that anchor woman is grabbing at the start of the video?
I've never understood why cup and/or athletic supporter usage dwindles to such low levels when players advance in a sport. Seems like everyone wears one in Pop Warner and middle school, then there's a noticeable drop off in HS, then more in college. Restrictive feeling or not, I don't think the players really notice it in the middle of a play.
Vernon should just be thankful that he has something to hold on to. Trying to tackle some players that way would probably be like grasping at straws.
He violated the cardinal rule. My HS coach said if you ever took one in the nuts to grab your knee to avoid the embarrassment of holding your nuts.
