Cream Me Up and Light My Fire.
Can you imagine going outside in short sleeves and playing football on a frozen field? While watching the Green Bay-San Francisco game at the frozen tundra last night I went outside in short sleeves just to try and experience how cold I could get. In about 15-seconds I was cold and there was no way I could throw a frozen football very far.
So I Googled "How do NFL players stay warm during super cold games?" I was surprised to see thousands of links, but for the first time I understood how they do it - creams, my boy, creams.
I know this is a family-oriented publication, but I have to mention that before the players apply their creams they put on their jock strap in the event they, uh, misjudge while creaming their whole bodies.
Much like a Tupperware party these bruisers gather around to discuss which creams are best to beat the cold and here's what they came up with:A cream product called "Warm Skin" mixed with Vaseline and "Tiger Balm". Some players rub Cayenne Pepper and then cover that with "Warm Skin."
I wonder how many of those little tins of Cayenne Pepper it would take to cover the entire body? Imagine going to the grocery store and buying 50? So since it will be frozen tundra just about every place a play off game will be played here on out, check out the vibrant and glistening arms of number 65 who is 6'6" and 350 pounds. -Ron |
