Welcome to the League, Rookie! Bet That’ll Leave a Mark…
Just when you thought hazing was a lost artform, leave it to the Washington Redskins to find a new, creative way to physically abuse their freshman teammates…
A paintball shot in the groin left rookie LaRon Landry unable to practice when the Washington Redskins opened their minicamp.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft was injured during a team-building outing June 13, when coach Joe Gibbs allowed the players to leave early at the end of the voluntary spring workouts. Some players went bowling or had lunch together, while many of the defensive players went to play paintball.
“I didn’t know paintball was that dangerous,” linebacker Marcus Washington said. “I hope it wasn’t friendly fire.”
Interesting choice in team-building activities. What’s next - a kung fu tournament?
We may have to consult with 451press’s resident Paintball expert to see how long a nut shot like this could keep Landry off the field.
While there’s rumors going around about how this thing happened, let’s just hope Landry wasn’t dumb enough to fall for this trick:
NFL, Washington Redskins, LaRon Landry, paintball, nut shot, I’m sure that didn’t tickle

If only this could happen to Tom Brady right in the nads so that he cant reproduce.

Agreed.
Getting preoccupied with changing diapers & custody hearings is the only thing standing in the way of Brady’s 4th ring in 7 years…good call, T-Bone…
