Packers Center Leaves It All on the Field: Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis changed a pass play to a quarterback sneak in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts even though it was third down and 10. He only gained three yards. "I asked Malik why he didn't throw the ball on that third down, and he told me Josh threw up on the ball," coach Matt LaFleur said. "I was like, 'That’s the first time I ever heard that!'" Center Josh Myers blamed the electrolyte drinks they give players.

There are stories about players pooping during a game after getting clobbered.

Football is a rough sport.

The folks in the TV production trucks have a talent for not showing all the vomiting and other stuff that goes on during a game.

I just wouldn't want to be on the crew that has to clean an artificial turf field and sidelines afterward. Or even maybe during a game if there's an incident. In my mind, even the football equivalent of a Zamboni might not be enough.
