I always enjoy hearing the stories of how dirty tricks get played in the trenches and beneath the pile. This is a recent one that made me chuckle.

After getting poked in the eye by Jeremy Newberry, Packers MLB Nick Barnett is enraged by the Raiders center’s on-field antics, as quoted in the Green Bay Press-Gazette: “I was on the ground; he ran by and kneed me in my head. So, I get up and try to find out what’s going on. A little talk, this and that, next thing you know, he lines it up like the Three Stooges and pokes me in the eye. It’s just garbage. … I was very angry at that, because when somebody pokes you in the eye, you want to take it out to the parking lot. … I’m not going to talk to him after the game. I don’t accept an apology, nothing like that. He tried to apologize. We were just playing football, and you should just play football instead of trying to poke somebody in the eye.”

That was a laugh riot.

I had read that Barnett had an eye injury. I didn't expect that it happened like that.

You hope that guys who operate as cheap shot artists get what is coming to them eventually.

There's a difference between some guy who got blasted on a block he didn't see coming calling someone "a cheap shot artist", and somebody who's grabbing nuts in the pile.

That reminds me of a really funny story I read once where this guy bobbled the snap and then lost the fumble! I still laugh my ass off at that one!!!

And then at band camp....

Band camp?

You're a dork.

I hope that's a joke, F_B.
