This jerk Suh drew a suspension last year for intentionally stomping on an opposing player's arm on Thanksgiving, so apparently it's a holiday tradition for him to maim people.
Interesting thing about that letter รพ, called a thorn: It's pronounced the same as 'th' but many early printers didn't have it, so they used 'y' instead. Hence 'Ye olde Curiosity Shoppe'. They didn't actually say 'yee', they were just bad at typesetting.
Grundus is a wonderful word. I'm putting it into my personal dictionary and yes, I will be using it. Also, @7, isn't it interesting that "fundament" is the root of "fundamentalism" (in the typical-tea-bagger-religio-political sense, not the distal aperture sense but equally appropriate).
@6 Amazingly, very few players wear cups. Almost all of them are wearing compression shorts, which keeps the grundus snug.
With the advent of extensive weight training and targeted nutrition, a lot of the pads (Thigh, Hip, Tail) of yesteryear aren't used anymore. Players carry an extra 15+ pounds of soft muscle for protection.
