Dear Faithful reader: today's beating at work brought a writer's block I haven't experienced yet, but fortunately I found this "nugget" on si.com. I believe they were trying to bury this story on the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attack.
"Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn't let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries."
"He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body," said Thomas' attorney, Carl Hughes. "He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse."
Who wears white shorts anymore? I don't think Clinton and Stacy would approve.
In spite of recent attempts at other sports blogs to discredit the ever popular "jort" (jean shorts, for the uninitiated), I think this is a very compelling argument for the jort. That denim gives you an extra line of defense against this sort of attack.
Anyway, back to the story. The first story indicated Thomas "heard his scrotum tear". Now he had to look down to see the jewels hanging on the outside. Normally, I would question the validity of the plaintiff's inconsistent testimony. However, in this instance, I think the trauma said plaintiff occured we should allow him a bit of latitude.
