That was a vicious hit he took right to the boys. Here's hoping Portis has a quick and speedy recovery.
BTW -- Big ups to him for not fumbling the ball. I think most people would crumple in pain and forget they had a ball.
That hit was somewhat symbolic of our season.
That was pretty nasty. I can't imagine taking a helmet to that area. Seems like something they would do on jackass.

Yeah, I didnt think it was that bad until they showed the slo-mo replay.
Yeah I think men everywhere winced and grabbed their own groins when they saw the replay.
I was thinking, jeez, thank god for the cup

Most NFL players don't wear cups. Many skill positions at least. WRs/RBs say it impedes their movement too much. Im curious if he was wearing one...

i really surprised that doesnt happen more often. and lets get portis running between the tackles, where he is very effective. it seems like all the teams we face load up on the sweeps, so the whole defense is waiting on portis in the hole

A cup can only do so much...
A helmet thrusting into the groins hurts w/ or w/out a cup....
As painful as it looked, it was pretty funny too.

Bad plan! Cups do restrict a certain amount of movement. It still hurts when you take a direct shot, BUT...............no hospitalization!!!!!!!!
