Just finished watching MNF - I like the Jags so this thread is not about that game…

Question One: what kind of underwear do these guys wear?

Question Two: speaking about schalongs - what is that blue thing that the Colts fans were waving about?

Appreciate your answers.

I didn’t watch the game, so I can only respond to the first question. Underwear=jockstrap.

I didn’t see the game either, but if my guess is right, you can see what they were waving at [http://www.bangers.com](http://www.bangers.com). It’s an inflatable plastic thingy that you can bang together to make a fairly loud noise.
