That reminded me, when I played HS football, we had one guy that would chew gum before the game and then stick it in his mouthpiece during.  It was really gross.

Would he put it right back in his mouth after dropping it too?

You know the old phrase, "Eat dirt, and block like a Mofo."

I was at a Major League Soccer game this year.  I sit right behind the goal.  Right before kickoff the opposing goalkeeper comes over and grabs something and holds it up to his nose, breathing deeply.  As he threw it away, I realized it was smelling salts.  First time I can remember seeing smelling salts in some 30 years, since they would give it to boxers and football players that had be knocked senseless.  I did not realize this usage is apparently spreading all across sports.  What was old is new again, and probably not healthy.  Weird.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
