Dallas safety misses practice because of a Jolly Rancher: http://deadspin.com/first-weird-injury-of-nfl-season-caused-by-a-jolly-ranc-974633719

You're probably right Henry, but size and speed is something that doesn't change from preseason to regular season![]()
Upon request I have decided to re-open this thread, with a slightly less colorful thread title. Hopefully this is a satisfactory compromise.
Oh, and uh, eff Dallas.![]()
When the Cowboys joined the NFL in 1960, they were known as the Steers. The team’s general manager, Texas E. Schramm, realized that having a castrated mascot might subject the team to ridicule, so he changed the name to Rangers. That name had its own problems since there was already a minor league baseball team called the Rangers. Schramm finally changed the nickname to Cowboys shortly before the team's inaugural season.
