It was reported, rather meagerly, yesterday that Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow could miss the Monday Night yawn-fest because of "an illness."The report said just that, nothing more, nothing less, leaving the imagination to wander. Well, you'd have to be a pretty sick person to guess what really happened to Winslow. According to Pro Football Talk, Kellen's testicles "swelled to the size of grapefruits."
Wow, who's up for a late lunch?!?
Tight end Winslow, who looked fine when the team returned from its bye weekend on Monday, visited a doctor on Thursday and missed his second practice in a row.
The Browns say Winslow is out with an illness, but won't disclose what it is.
Well Browns, I actually appreciate you guys giving us one more day to not hear about this. PFT is pointing towards a condition called Hydrocele, or in more medical arenas, "humongous gonads."
See, this is where we get ya. You come to the NFL FanHouse page thinking, "Oh wow, what a wonderful Friday, i think I'm going to sit down and check out some good old fashioned football news with nothing else but sports, sports, sports" and BOOM, you're reading about testicles. It isn't easy to pull that 180 on you but we did it. High five us!Hydrocele occurs when fluid accumulates between the two membranes that cover the testicles. One or both testicles may be swollen. Hydrocele swelling gradually increases over a period of weeks or months.
Hydrocele swelling is usually painless. If the testicles appear to be chronically swollen, medical interventions are available. Surgery can cure hydrocele, or the fluid may be drawn out of the testicular membrane using a fine needle (fine needle aspiration is quite painful, so some men prefer surgical options).

I doubt this story is true. Have watched the Browns for 40 years, and haven't seen a player with any balls yet. Or perhaps they are just gutless or spineless? Hard to say-thankfully the dorks at the Cleveland Clinic are nearby to look into this further.

Mrs G,
Eli is a world champion-guess that is the ultimate scoreboard. That empty sack who looked so bad at times in the regular season came thru in the clutch. Remember the Browns last Super Bowl.... wait, that's right, they have never won anything! Have fun lighting your lake on fire after getting toasted by the Giants. Enjoy your two games against the Bungles a lot-not much else to look forward to.
