You know the hype of Super Bowl week has reached its crescendo when backup offensive linemen are interviewed, and the absurdity of their story takes the spotlight away from the absurdity of the story surrounding the game's star player.
Giants backup lineman Grey Ruegamer who went to Arizona State, told a local Arizona paper that he used to castrate lambs with his teeth.
“You grab the forelegs and pin them to the ground, and then you grab the back legs and throw them on their back, away you go. It’s the way the Basques do it.”
Ruegamer became a practitioner when a family friend, who is Basque, asked for extra help on her working sheep and cattle ranch outside Las Vegas, Nev., where Ruegamer grew up.
“I was hesitant. But it is what it is. She needed help. There was beer. Good times. It was worth it.
"You pull them out with your teeth, spit them in a bucket, next one.
“There was other work that had to get done, so we had to hurry with that and move onto the next thing. It’s just a little lamb. It’s not a big animal. I have pictures.
“The blood on your mustache is the worst part.”
