Back in 2010, we were introduced to a young couple at a Houston Astros game, as they became instant Internet celebrities thanks to every sports blog on the planet and eventually Daniel Tosh. In case your memory is fuzzy from all the meth, Chris Johnson hit a foul ball into the field box along the left field line, and the boyfriend took cover like a frightened toddler as his then-girlfriend was hit by the ball. Needless to say, that relationship didn’t last.

On Sunday, Brandon Inge ousted the “foul ball couple” as the Internet’s favorite fan f*ck-ups when he belted a 3-run home run off rookie Matt Moore in the third inning, and it smacked a Tampa fan right in the gooners. To make matters worse, the ball ricocheted off the Rays fan’s crotch into his lady friend’s face. Really, it’s the feel good video of the summer.

New Zealand cricketer Kane Williamson is one of the luckiest men on Earth today.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a high-speed cricket ball collides ball-on-ball with an exposed testicle, thank Christ you aren’t gonna find out here … in the above video, Williamson takes a shot to the crumpet and staggers away, removing his cup to reveal that it is basically split down the middle. If he hadn’t been wearing one, he might’ve had to give up cricket and start competitive blood-peeing.

The horror you might feel seeing that is immediately replaced by the announce team’s hilariously in-depth discussion of “skin torque” and the value of the “box breaking”. Apparently it’s a good thing when your box breaks.

So, uh, I guess we should be happy this wasn’t women’s cricket.

A ferret in a cowboy hat is always relevant.

I have a ridiculous fascination with horrible things that people do to themselves in the name of sport. It’s a guilty pleasure, because it makes me feel better about myself that I don’t do ridiculous things like tie large objects to my testicles or try to bare-knuckle box a wild animal that is larger than me. And while I typically prefer to keep our discussions focused on more important topics like how attractive Kate Upton looked while hanging out with children at a rodeo, I just can’t ignore some of the incredibly stupid things that people do.

In this case, the sport in question is “Ferret Legging” and it involves grown men stuffing ferrets down their pants for the sake of endurance. During this time trial, the ferrets undoubtedly bite and scratch the man’s genitalia, but that’s the point of ferret legging – showing just how big and invincible your balls are. The sport apparently originated in England, but it’s also alive and well in the United States, as the people of Richmond, Virginia hold an annual ferret legging championship. Oh, and the world record is 5 hours and 33 minutes.

I checked out a bunch of sites to try to get a better idea of what it’s all about, and I was surprised that so many people were already fully aware of what ferret legging entails, and I was kind of embarrassed that I’d never heard of it before. But then I realized that Rick Reilly wrote a book with a whole chapter on ferret legging, so I’m relieved that I didn’t find out about it that way.

The Denver Broncos have been the talk of the town throughout the first 2 weeks of the NFL season, but it’s not because they’re good or terrible or anything fundamental like that. It’s because fans have grown tiresome of perfectly able and average quarterback Kyle Orton and are demanding that new coach John Fox begin the Tim Tebow era immediately. Well the Tebow era has begun, friends, and all is glorious for Denver once again.

Oh, I should mention that the Tebow era has begun at wide receiver. I think that’s a pretty important tidbit. The Broncos’ receiving corp has more sore groins than a Kate Upton strip tease, after Brandon Lloyd was declared out for the game and Eddie Royal suffered a groin injury in the second quarter. That left sophomore Eric Decker as the go-to guy and it forced Fox to put Tebow into the lineup as a wideout. He ended with 0 receptions for 0 yards, and was clearly the guiding force in Denver’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Meanwhile, the fans who claim to have raised $10,000 for two pro-Tebow billboards in downtown Denver can put their money to better use, like new crotches for Lloyd and Royal.

It has been a busy day on the tips line, and this gem came to us that way via Travis, who, like many of us, enjoy seeing visual evidence of skateboarders being unable to reproduce. Sure, skateboarding may not be a crime, but it’s murder on the groin. You might want to grab a snack before you settle into this collection of clips, because it checks in at a delightful five minutes and 48 seconds. I’ve already watched this video twice and I’m pretty sure that it made me sterile. Whatever. I hate wearing condoms anyway.

Hit the next page for the video, and don’t try any of these at home, unless you happen to be a total douchebag.

Incredibly talented sports and TV personality Jenn Sterger is at the center of a NFL investigation concerning Brett Favre’s wrinkled old penis, but we all know plenty about this already, and if you don’t then you need to catch up the gross way by checking out this post at Kissing Suzy Kolber from last week. All set? Good. Sterger’s lawyer recently told reporters that they were looking for the proper result in the NFL’s investigation of Favre’s dong, and while I’m guessing that means she wants to see some financial restitution for all the pain and suffering she’s been through for having to witness old man balls, I like to think that we all got some restitution this week for the past four years when Favre was hit in the crotch with a football during practice.

Flubby over at KSK already made the proper and necessary Simpsons reference and Xmas Ape deserves an Espy for his video work (after the jump), and the fellas were even wise enough to turn this special moment into GIF form, but seeing as this feels like Christmas morning to me, I just wanted to make sure that we did our job of sharing the video footage of Favre getting hit in the nuts by a football, too.
