Just a little subversive Charmin advertising.

Almost presciently, Devin Hester was wearing a Simon Adebisi beanie underneath his helmet.

My, my, my.

Question: did the guy snag his underwear too, or was he not wearing any?

And, if he wasn't, how did he have his cup on? I thought a jockstrap would be visible in this shot, but I'll admit my knowledge of men's athletic undergarments is purely theoretical.

@CumaeanSibyl: Most players in the NFL don't wear a cup. Or so I've heard.

@Spielman: Yeah, Spielman is right. And I'm pretty sure wearing a cup would make you a tiny bit slower (damn those things were fucking uncomfortable back in the day).

@CumaeanSibyl: Well, if you're not going with a thong, you're just asking for visible jockstrap line. And on national TV? Oh, hell naw.

@Lemme_Know_Ho: I... am mildly appalled at this idea. There are three-hundred-pound men flying around on the field trying to hurt you, how can you not wear a cup?

I'm also shocked that you don't see guys rolling around on the turf in agony more often. "Oh, looks like he just got shook up by that last tackle," as the replay shows a lineman's shoulder driving straight into the groin.

@CumaeanSibyl: Imagine trying to run in the tightest jeans possible, that was it felt for me when I had a cup on. I took one shot to the groin after I ditched mine. Very painful but it was better than the alternative of running like a rhinestone cowboy.

@CumaeanSibyl: Given the inflexible nature of the cup, it can actually cause MORE damage whilst said "big bodies" are flying/rolling around...

@CumaeanSibyl: In reality it's not as bad as you'd think, in terms of getting hit in the junk during normal 'action' of a game. But if you're under a lineman pile or a fumble pile...protect the boys. Thank God I was a wide receiver.

@Lemme_Know_Ho: I'm an idiot. What I meant by the first sentence is that during the normal course of a game you rarely get hit in the junk (unless you're a lineman).

@kent002: Huh, I didn't think of that. I guess if someone does score a direct hit it's going to hurt regardless, and an indirect hit might shove the edge of the cup into something soft.

I can't believe I'm making internet strangers explain male groin safety to me, but I'm grateful for the information.
