If you zoom in at around the :38 mark, it is snuggled in behind the padding and very well hidden if you don’t look closely.

Football would be over for me. I'd never put on a helmet again.

Weirdly, my cats drug a snake into my living room this morning which I discovered after I got up. Fortunately, it was not a cottonmouth and they had killed it.

A strike near his eye and he would permanently be blind in that eye and if it struck him in the neck area he probably dies before they can save him.

Could you imagine running gassers in summer heat and a cottonmouth bites you on the skull…. I’d fall over and give up hope probably.

Calling the cops for a cottonmouth is very Maumelle.

Dude says it would've been "very fatal" but it's pretty rare for someone to die from a cottonmouth bite. Unless maybe something about being bit on the head would've changed those odds, which I guess is possible.

Might want to check the locker room unless baw was just leaving his helmet on the ground unattended for hours.

Blame our litigious society. If a player or coach/staff were bitten trying to remove it, there is almost certainly a lawsuit from the bit person or their insurance company.

I have been amazed at how many practices this summer my youngest has had cut short due to rain and lightning within 10 miles. They heard them in the locker room and don't let them out until their ride gets there if they don't drive themselves. I am not sure how you are supposed to complete a practice this time of year with daily PM t-storms. Kind of silly

I played numerous sports from first grade on up, in the south, and I can't remember us every having to stop a game for lightning.

We did have to leave school early for our away varsity baseball games because none of the fields had lights.

And all these years I thought bull in the ring was the worst thing about football practice.

Bull in the ring wasn't that bad, you actually got to rest some unless you were taking your turn in the middle of the ring.
