but it's not on his shoulder. I believe it's a dunce cap. Any lineman who gets more than two false start penalties in a half has to wear it until the next lineman screws up. It's a training tool that weighs the guy down to make him think about timing. It also works to strengthen the player's muscles so he can hopefully start slowing down the rushers just a teeny little bit. The coaches are trying to get away from the snowmen in a blizzard method of blocking snowflakes blowing past them.

It could also be an earstop. Look at the size of his ears. Maybe the stone is there to keep the ears from growing up past his head. His helmet wouldn't fit any more

I agree. However, I can say that Pete was not appreciated by a lot of what JABF calls “meatball” Seahawks fans.

I've always heard there was a meatball island located somewhere in the northwest. Apparently there was a migration from Chicago to the northwest many years ago and they landed there. I've read that there are actually ancient cave etchings of this. Notice the bear in this one:

The little dude with the spear must be a fan from an opposing team. And (below) is an ancient pic on the island of Bears offensive linemen... you can tell they're Bears OL due to the fact they have 15 players trying to max-protect the QB back then (like today, 5 Bears OL can't get it done). But what the heck is that object on the one OL guys head?

My question is why is the Center so big? On Bears teams, it seems he's usually the smallest guy on the line, at least in terms of the center's blocking abilities....

It's one of Glennons relatives. A cross between Glennon and Peyton Manning. He has to see the field so he can put the guys in the right formation. He is like a lighthouse where he can see everything. (possibly 360 degrees)

Did you notice the OL guy with the huge head and he's turning dark red? I'm thinking this might all be part of the ancient prophecy about our 2024 Bears season, that we were talking about in the other thread (the one with the rubber chicken, & burning the ashes of a Brett Favre bobble head and spreading them on Soldier Field). Somehow it's all connected. But how? Since this is all on the Seattle "Meatball Island" maybe davidl can charter a boat to go out there and see if there are any more clues... our season begins in 4 days so there is a sense of urgency here.

By the way... are we off-topic? Just checking... er, what is the topic?

Yes, but that was 11 pages of posts ago. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast anymore. No way I can remember the OP here... maybe the rubber chicken/bobble head thing got me off track.

Book or Walk.

I tend to love walking when I'm on vacation. Nothing better than sitting by a river and people watching while reading a book.

At home, where it is currently a dry 93 degrees (35% humidity meaning even the wind is hot), I tend to NOT walk and prefer a book.

Damn.... How do you train your eyes to have one on the people and one on the book?

My wife and I play "What were they thinking?" The object is to point out people who are dressed...well....what were they thinking? Who told them that outfit was a good idea? So only one of us has to be watching at a time. As an amateur cook, I'm usually reading/leafing through a cookbook on vacation so, easy to look up.
