Two headlines on espn.com right now:
"Forsberg out at least two games with groin tear"
and
"Pacers' O'Neal will miss 8 weeks with groin injury"
Ok, so if you tear your groin, key word being tear, you'll miss a couple games, but if you "injure" it, that's 2 months.
How bad do you have to injure your groin to sideline you for 2 months?
Let's see, if you got kicked in the balls, that would sideline you for a bit, maybe even the rest of a game, make you pee blood but overall, it wouldn't be a headline.
If you got a really really bad case of jock itch, you might have to miss a week.
If you had to get a testicle removed, you might be sidelined a month.
If you got a clean-slice Bobbit and there was nothing to sew back on, you can probalby get back out there in 6 weeks.
So I figure, if you injure your groin and its going to sideline you for 2 months, you probably got your dong bit by a viper, its turned green and its going to be a while before you can even think about putting pants on.
So let's just assume the headline reads "Pacers O'Neal loses snake fight, hopes to return to basketball court and normal urination eventually".
