As Larry Felser used to say, it's one of those opinionated days.
Serious question: If Sammy Watkins shaved the cat off his head after a game, how much do you think it would weigh?
In 3-2-1 Contact! I loved that show as a kid...
Sweat produces a lot of moisture in the hair of any athlete. Water is quite heavy.
After every NFL game (and practice), every player gets weighed so teams know how much fluid (hydration) was lost.
That's a huge head of hair on Sammy Watkins.
How much weight in water/sweat does it hold after a game?
I think it is a legit question. The proper amount of necessary intake of fluids could be skewed by the amount of hair water retention.
Do teams factor that in to their hydration analysis?
If Sammy Watkins or any other player is carrying an extra 5 pounds of water weight or more in their hair, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the player and the team without carrying the extra weight?
Swimmers shave every hair on their body because they know 1 hundredth of a second or less could be the difference between winning and losing.
The NFL isn't a game of inches anymore, it's a game of centimeters.
His foot was in/out of bounds by fractions of an inch, the ball didn't touch the ground, inconclusive evidence, the player's knee was not down, etc.
All determined by hundredths of a second or less, or just a hair.
