Jesus Christ, Mike!

from the Philadelphia Inquirer

Eagles linebacker Ike Reese was one of several NFL players surveyed about what goes on at the bottom of a pile when players are fighting for a fumble. His answer: "When we played the Patriots last year, Brian Westbrook fumbled a punt and we were all down there scrambling for it. Mike Vrabel had my testicles in his hand, and he was squeezing them. Where the football ends up depends on who has the strongest will or strongest hands. Guys reach inside the face mask to gouge your eyes. But the biggest thing is the grabbing of the testicles. It is crazy." The Patriots, by the way, recovered that fumble.
