Worth a thousand words:
Emphasis on rash.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, as much as 25% of the team has been affected by a run of tinea cruris, known more colloquially as "jock itch."
Head coach Pete Carroll told the Times he'd never seen anything like the current outbreak and pointed a finger at new compression shorts the team has been wearing underneath their football pants.
"We've had to adjust to some new equipment that we're wearing that didn't work out right," Carroll said. "It's funny how that happened."
You'll forgive tailback Joe McKnight and wide receiver Travon Patterson if they aren't laughing. Both were unable to practice Wednesday because of the severity of the irritation.
"It burns," Patterson said.
"Sometimes they can't walk," said tailback Stafon Johnson. "I don't know what it is, but I'm staying away from it."

dave5573...Just admit your a freakin little pansy that in real life(not behind a pc) You got your asz kicked and was picked on your whole life. Weeks ago you talked some smack about my team and when I gave you s.h.1.t. you cried like a baby...man up if you're going to be on these boards. If you're going to talk smack about a team then be willing to take the smack. I have said nothing to you or about you since that time...now you want to start some cr.ap again...go for it you little puz.

sporto you wound me with your witless I mean witty invective (big word, look it up). it seems to me it is you who is crying like a little girl because I made a funny about you. here let me give you a real apology. I am sorry you took at offense at em pointing out that you are a humorless clod who does nothing but fowl teh boards, I am truly sorry I offended you enough that you had to start talking about panties again...is this some fantasy or perversion of yours? I would get in a battel of wits with you if you had any. now live up to my expectations and hurl some insults my way and post at least five postings against me to my one. you only make yourself look like a clown you know. oh by teh way I must have missed your apology I am sure it was very sincere, lol.

Plain and simple folks,it's bacteria,mold/fungus and then a rash. Wash your nasty nut sack or wear clean damn underwear.

sporto1200, you really shouldnt be so hard on yourself, I wouldnt say you are teh dumbest blogger on here, just one of many. but you balance that out always by being so respectful and polite to others. got to love wearing boots to be on the computer.

lol, lisa sorry I really should have said "in my humble opinion" first since that allows anyone to say anything outragous without having to defend it or even think about it. just trying to keep the attempts at humor flowing here. I really do feel for the players tho, to be that uncomfortable and embarrassed makes them feel almost human for a change. now let me get my tongue out of my cheek and say I am looking forward to the game and an OSU victory. hmmm as to who has spanked USC this decade I can't(stanford) think of (stanford) anyone quite (stanford) frankly, since USC never loses a game they are supposed to win when they play in LA..at least when vince young is not playing.

Well it only took 20 pages of comments before the dumbest blogger on the planet made it here. His comments are so insightful and his spelling is impeccable. Reading his comments are the entertainment I look for on here. I always leave work for the day laughing at the st.pu.id cr.ap that he says. But it is starting to s.u.c.k. because he is to st.up.id to make up new stuff.
