BillyBalata Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 In the big picture, Lawrence Vickers is fortunate he didn’t require medical attention for a more serious injury. The Dallas Cowboys fullback was escorted to the locker room by an athletic trainer about midway through an offseason practice on Wednesday. He was slumped over with his right hand at his waist. It wasn’t the kind of ailment you hear about very often. “Fire ants got in my pants,” Vickers said, according to the Dallas Morning News. “I was freaking out. Oh, ants!” Vickers felt a stinging sensation below the belt and needed attention. He discovered earlier this year that he is allergic to fire ants after being stung on his neck. It resulted in swelling and difficulty breathing. So, this was no small matter. “I was trying not to squeeze myself in front of women out there,” Vickers said. “I wanted to pull my pants down and run inside, but I couldn't do that. When those ants get close to those testicles, there ain't no laughing about that.” That certainly is no laughing matter.

Bronco Billy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Is that an ant in your pants or are you just happy to see me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'd fire the groundskeeper. Josh Gordon and pest control are basic turf management practices. There is no excuse for such negligence. These are highly paid professional athletes running around on those practice fields. I mean, yeah, they're Cowboys, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I cry when I see the fight is not nearly over yet and that mankind still suffers needlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddahj Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 They just need to throw a holy hand grenade on the field. First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
