And Kickers wonder why they aren't considered football players...

SEATTLE -- Seattle Seahawks kicker Josh Brown says he'll wear heated warm-up pants in the freezing weather at Saturday's playoff game in Green Bay.

Makes sense to me, especially to keep his KICKING leg warm.

How is that any different from a pitcher wearing a jacket to round the bases?

I don't see anything wrong with it, ALTHOUGH when you hear anything about kickers, you can't help but think of this guy: :lol:

It's the heated part. Pants are supposed to keep you legs warm, we get that. The same as a jacket keeps a pitcher's arm warm. But, a HEATED pair of pants...that's laughable...

Just playing devil's advocate here--if MLB pitchers had to pitch in January, I guarantee you that someone would invent a heated jacket sleeve. But if I were Mr. Brown I would keep a few details to myself.

Plus, the wear and tear on a pitcher's arm is MUCH more than on a kicker's leg.

 

I agree, Mr. Brown should just call them sweatpants...

You are right. I can just imagine an ice-cold hamstring popping on a kick.:creepy:

I seem to remember Joe Namath taking a lot of "heat" for wearing pantyhose...

It just had to be a Seahawk that did this. :cry:

[Wireman]

The funny part is that the lineman will have on short sleeves.

Tore a calf muscle in the cold once...NOT COOL!!!

I don't blame him at all, I would do the same thing if I was a kicker. Why not take advantage of it if it was available?
