I'm not an expert in football. Or- shall I say, not familiar with who's who and who's famous and whatnot.

But I had the radio on not too long ago, and there was a sports show where the commentator made some mention where one guy was trying to block a punt and the ball slipped off the tee (or whatever) and the guy punting the ball kicked the guy blocking the kick so hard to the point the guy lost his testicles. The guy guy didn't lose them there on the spot, but a day later, he had gone to hospital and the damage was so bad the doctors had no choice but to remove the testicles.

I wasn't paying attention to the show up until the mention of what happened (hey, it caught my ear hearing the word 'eunuch' mentioned on the radio) but I didn't catch the players name, let alone team, or what year this happened.

My guess is Fran Tarkington.

donno if this is the shot of the story you heard but it sure looks painful.
