Taron Johnson said he was molested at the bottom of the onside scrum

[Sweats]

Honestly, i wouldn't want to be anywhere near the bottom of those piles...........i'm delicate and i used to be a good-looking guy at one point, so i'm sure they would have been passing me around like candy down there.

It’s interesting that during a football game grown dudes act this way. But after the whistle the gay jokes would fly.

It's not sexual, it's a means to an end.

Nope........i'm out

[muppy]

the attempt to make a player release his hold on the ball at the bottom of that pile doing unmentionable things surprises me zero.

 

All decorum goes out the window. I give him credit for hanging on. 

 

Even if unintentional whoever has the ball is going to be abused. I would be shocked if it were done with intent to injure.

 

its the Ball they want not his you know what's I think

Doesn't make it right. It is still sexual assault and needs to be investigated by the NFL and police.

Don't want to even think what goes on in some rugby pileups.  No gear to get in the way either.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

It hard to hold onto the ball while someone's twisting YOUR balls.

Somewhere, Christian Wilkins is getting "excited" reading this story.

There are players who are noted for this.  Christian Wilkins is one.  The idea is if they can get you to lose your focus, their teammate gets the ball.  If they can't, they get you mad enough at them you you'll come out of the pile swinging and they get 15 yds.  

 

But you know, I thought Detroit left early and should have had a penalty.  Am I the only one?

Be shocked then. 

In his 2005 book "Romo My Life on the Edge" Bill Romanowski recounted how he once broke another player's finger while in a scrum pile.

My brother had a play at the goal line in HS where a small pileup happened.  As the ball carrier, he proceeded to be punched in the man zone repeatedly for about 10 seconds.  Protected zone or not, he said it was not a fun time down there.... and that was in the 2nd quarter!  Couldn't imagine a fight for an onside kick.

I'm not sure what you mean by "protected zone", but assuming you mean your bro was wearing a cup, it's notorious that in the NFL, players don't wear cups anymore.

 

I don't know why, but apparently if you show up in an NFL locker room with a cup, you face immense ridicule.

He also played WR on a championship winning football team in HS.
