What kind of person does something like this? Easily the weirdest sports related story I've seen in the past year. He even justifies the decision as a "sacrifice"

Idiot.

Yeesh.

As my handle suggests, I'm all about being a sports fan. But at some point you have to take a step back and say "that's not what's putting food on the table around here." In the end, sports are, well... just sports.

I guess this guy is just showing us the fine line between "fan" and "moron."

He's probably just seeking the attention he'll get from such a stunt. Some people will do anything for their 15 minutes.

The guy is a class A moron, that simple.

At least he didn't cut off his nutsack like that fan in scotland.

Ask and you shall receive. The link from the CP thread is dead, so I used google and searched "rugby and balls" and this is what came up"

This is the aftermath of the story and the guy telling the reporter he wasn;t sure why he did it.

I bet he picks up a lot of girls by telling them he's Peyton Manning. 6'5 225 lb quarterback...LASER ROCKET ARM!

OH. MY. GOD. :eek:

... and I thought Bertuzzied having to change his handle was a little much. It probably is a good thing this guy will never reproduce.

If he truly wanted to sacrifice, as a Bears fan, he would've changed his name to "I love the Green Bay Packers".

I think the much more humiliating name change would have been to "Rex Grossman".

Hey, you did change your CP handle! Can a name change be far behind? ;)

I challenge anyone to try and read that story without grabbing your junk just to make sure the boys are alright.
