The Demise of the Cup

Ok.  Full admission here.  I've spent some time recently looking at male appendages.  No, I haven't been perusing the gay porn pages, thank you GG, Hammer, Mudge and Tom de Plume--I've been watching NFL Football.  It seems that the penchant for tight, spandexy trousers, technologically advanced slow motion photography and and the large scale eschewing of the old fashioned jock strap and cup have teamed up to provide the average Sunday (or Monday, Thursday, or Saturday) NFL fan with near anatomically correct closeups of the male phallus.  It appears that the same aversion to undercarriage shielding prevails in the college ranks.

I wondered whether it were only me who noticed this trend....but apparently not.  This article says that there hasn't been a cup worn by a Philadelphia Eagle since 1999!  Holy Moly.

    I dunno, CW. Looks like Mr. Skinner in the photo came up pretty much empty-handed.

    Oh wait, that's a UVa guy. Never mind.

    Indeed. Mr. Skinner--as he was in the process of wrangling a Wahoo--clearly had his "hands full".

    Looks like my son drew the short straw.

    Just guessing, but is it fair to say that most of the Wahoos' cups runneth under?

    Of course you haven't. But worry not, there'll be time for that after the NFL season ends in a few weeks.

    I swear, you Navy guys.

    Listen up, if a comment doesn't enhance your standing as a red-blooded ass kicking American male, or show some sort of bullshit "feminine" side to some chick to help you get some poon, then by God it's against man-law. That's it, end of friggin' story!

    Odd. I'm suddenly interested in a leisurely Sunday afternoon in front of the television.
