Question about a game years ago

[Ricky Spanish]

I don't know why, but this memory randomly popped into my head when I was reading about our Special Teams. This happened over a decade ago so I could just be making it up. It's kind of dead here right now anyway, so please help me clear this up. 

 

I remember watching a game on TV when I was a kid, and a returner went back to receive a punt. One of the announcers was doing commentary and mentioned that this returner put icy hot in his jock strap so it would piss him off because he played better pissed off. 

 

Now to me, that sounds like Smitty (classic Smitty), but I don't remember who they were talking about or if it was even a guy on our team. I do remember it being a Panther game though...

 

So yeah... Am I just imagining things or does anyone else remember this?

[Toolbox]

maybe rod "he hate me" smart?

Of all the things to remember...

Take it from someone that has mistakenly grabbed his manhood after having muscle rub on his hand.  It will not make you concentrate on anything but washing it off.

That sounds like Smitty. Also sounds made up too. I don't remember anyone saying that though.

This was said about Smitty in his rookie season by Rosinski. It was Tiger Balm intead of Icy Hot.

Who remembers when Dwight Stone got knocked the fug out so hard on a return that when he got up, his eyes were moving side to side in his head and he fell back down again?

I KNEW IT!

 

Thank you for validating what I've been randomly remembering for the past 13 or 14 years. I didn't think it was Icy Hot exactly but I knew it was something he put on his junk to piss him off. 

 

Next returner we get needs to lube up with some Tiger Balm before each game. it breeds viciousness and sick return skills.

You guys remember when the Falcons were running in for the go ahead touchdown, we knocked the ball out and recovered the fumble in the end zone for a safety to lose the game?

Or how about that time Dante Wesley went rogue and nearly killed the punt returner.

Broncos game in Denver, 1997. Darrien Gordon returned two punts for TDs that game as well.

The Dante Wesley hit will forever be one of the greatest hits of all time. I still laugh when I watch that video

Remember when Gamble tried to lateral a punt return and it ended up costing us the game? Anyone remember what year that was? Feels like 2006
