For the second week in a row, Shaun Smith has been [accused of grabbing somebody’s genitals](http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/49ers_anthony_davis_latest_victim_of_shaun_smith_ball_grabbing/3305835)…but [this time, apparently there’s video evidence](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-20100929_video_proves_shaun_smith_grabbed_anthony_davis_genitals). Imho, this is a brilliant play by Shaun Smith: grab somebody’s balls, they go crazy, swing at your helmet, and your team gets free yards. It’s not like it’s skin-on-skin contact…everybody is wearing a cup. ---

It’s not like the Panthers are going to gain yards any other way, either. ---

Nice thread title - except Smith is a DE playing for the (undefeated) Chiefs. ---

Alas, I have smeared the good name of the non-nut gobbling Shaun Smith. ---

I fixed the thread title so Shaun Smith doesn’t get confused with Sean Smith, who plays corner for the Dolphins, or the wide receivers Steve Smith of the Panthers or Giants. ---

It would seem very strange to me to think they do not wear cups. Maybe Shaun is just making sure everybody is wearing the proper protective equipment. ---

It would seem very strange to me to think they do not wear cups. Virtually no NFL player wears cups. They make it too difficult to run. Few NFL players were thigh and knee pads either. It’s surprising but true. ---

It’s surprising but true. Maybe after NutGate, they will. 😃
