Monday's headline: Seattle kicker Josh Brown suffers 2nd and 3rd degree burns over calves, thighs and hamstrings.
That's kinda neat though. Those batteries must be pretty small.

...and the 2007-2008 award for idiot kicker goes to...
The simple fact that so many people have suffered through cold winter days since the beginning of time and nobody has come forth with a working pair of heated pants makes me think that this will end very badly for Mr. Brown.

Actually, many of these do work, they're just not very efficient.Batteries usually only last a few hours at most, so to anybody living and working in the cold, they aren't economically smart. However, I could see them getting good use for a few hours in keeping a kicker warm.

He can probably fit the batteries where his man parts are supposed to be.KnowledgeReignsSupreme said:

Never been skiing huh?They sell little cloths packs that give off heat for a few hours after they are open. Peeps put them in their boots and gloves on extra cold days. They could easily work in the interior pad pockets on a pair of football pants.It's actually a pretty good idea

How is this different than receivers spraying "stick on" to their gloves, or offensive lineman putting slippery stuff on their jerseys?

I think it is a smart move.
Green Bay should provide heated shantys for kickers. http://www.fishingshanty.com/images/Eskimo...g%20Shelter.jpg

The Packers' equipment guys on the sidelines will we wearing shorts, as they were a few weeks ago in Chicago when it was in the teens (and as they will be in the event of a NFC Championship game next week). OL and DL will all be in short sleeves as always. Bikini girls will be in the stands.

Are your serious? It's an effort to keep his legs warm, not to help him kick the ball (or make it easier to catch/harder to hold). It's not even in the same category. It will have no effect on his play, just a different way of keeping his muscles loose. No different than riding the bike on the sidelines, sitting on heated benches or sitting in the "Cool ZOne" with the mist sprayers on hot days.How is this different than receivers spraying "stick on" to their gloves, or offensive lineman putting slippery stuff on their jerseys?I don't get it?

Wouldn't this be considered bringing an illegal object onto the field (the batteries that is). I'd have to imagine that batteries are atleast as dangerous as the sharpie that T.O. used.Are your serious?

About as dengerous as a thigh pad. It'll be in the pads podkets or under his pants. Won't be an issue.Wouldn't this be considered bringing an illegal object onto the field (the batteries that is).

Warm up pants people, warm ups. They will come off before he enters the game.

It's not so hard and it's not new.Step 1. Light pants on fireStep 2. Hurry up and kick.Step 3. Run to guy with fire extinguisher.This was very popular in the 1940's until "Icing the kicker" was invented. They called it "Icing the Kicker" because ice was quickly applied to the 3rd degree burns.

This was quickly replaced with the head coach lighting a fire under someone's ###, often confused for berating a player to inspire him to play well. Close inspection of grainy black and white films show a mysterious and strategically placed lighter concealed by assistants to "warm up" their kicker.chris1969 said:

I wish I would be there.My mom and step-dad will be in section 125...about 2 rows up from where you come out from under the stadium...right there in front of the Oneida Nation gate. My Grandfather has had those seats basically since the place opened. Great seats.My brother and my dad will be up in section 115 or 113...I cannot recall which...but up towards the top of that section. Those were my "grandfather's" seats. He was my step-mom's father. Now they are my dad and step-mom's tickets.I will be here watching it on the big screen...or maybe at the hospital if our new addition decides to join this world in the next few days.Section 130 for me; expect to remain fully clothed throughout.scott72 said:And I will be shirtless in section 353.

He uses them for hunting. Much ado about nothing. This "story" ranks up there with the impact of Jessica Simpson on Romo. What a waste of time from beat writers. Nothing substantial to report so they have to engineer stories. Pathetic.

From TMQ: Stat of the Week No. 7: A January game in Green Bay approaches; over the past four seasons, the Packers are 7-9 at Lambeau Field when kickoff temperature is below 40 degrees.

This was my thought. He has already psyched himself out. This is not good for a kicker.

Or maybe he's not gonna be all macho and is just preparing for what the weatherman is saying.

You guys are killing me with all this talk of "the weather is already in Josh Brown's head." The guy played his college ball at NEBRASKA. The weather here is a lot closer to Green Bay than it is to South Beach. And to my knowledge, Brown never wore heated pants in college, but he still had a great career.
If anything, wearing heated pants is a performance enhancing move -- it will help his legs stay loose in the cold weather. It's not like he's wearing heated pants because he's a girly man and can't stand being in the cold. It's a move designed to help him perform at his highest level.

And according to him, he's been wearing them for three years. Like the Jessica story, no one heard about her being there for the two games they won, just the game they lost. Now that it's the playoffs and they're going to GB it's a "Lambeau Mystique" getting into his head.Dexter Manley said:

Pretty sure the pants come of when he steps on the field. If not, then the OL can wear Carharts and Sorels with spikes coming out the bottom.Wouldn't this be considered bringing an illegal object onto the field (the batteries that is).

I've played soccer in cold weather and believe me, if your leg muscles aren't warmed up properly you can pull a muscle rather easily. Also, warming the muscles helps them stay "stretched" which is essential for a good follow through, especially on longer kicks.

You're right, the feet are the keys to happiness, but this more of a keeping muscles warmed up kinda thing. He's not gonna strain a muscle in his feet kicking with a leg that stiffened up from the cold.

It's over 70 degrees colder than his body temp. Comfort isn't the issue, it's the performance of the muscles. The warmer the better.

In other news, QBs and WRs that wear gloves are a bunch of sissies, as well as any player that wears a jacket on the sidelines, anyone that sits near a portable heater on the sidelines, anyone that drinks any Gatorade, anyone wearing a hat on the sidelines, anyone seen blowing on their hands and anyone wearing long sleeves.

From Wiki
He's 6' 215 lbs. He's obviously not up to par with his positions he played in high school at the NFL level, but he's never shied away from contact. He's thrown some great blocks, some good hits and tackles, he's even fast enough to track some people down. He's an actual athlete, not just a little soccer player turned kicker.
