Cory Always the prankster

Teammates have tried to help Jansen cope with his situation through pranks and frat-house humor. Jansen was stumped when asked to give a joke that could be printed in a family newspaper: "I haven't heard any rated-PG-13 ones. I really would rather not get into it."

Reserve center Cory Raymer, the lead prankster among offensive linemen, admitted unsuccessfully searching for a bidet at several Home Depots in Virginia. Raymer had intended to have it gift-wrapped and presented to Jansen last Monday night. "I couldn't find a bidet to safe my life," Raymer said, voice tinged with disappointment. "But I had short notice."

When Jansen ties his shoes in the locker room after great effort, his teammates sometimes untie them. "You can come up with a million jokes," Raymer said.

Since the injuries, Jansen has kept his helmet on almost the entire practices. His linemates consider it an act of machismo, given the sweltering heat. "He can't remove his chinstrap," Raymer said. "So he keeps his helmet on."

hahaha i feel so bad for jansen, that's gotta suck to have two broken thumbs. it'll be interesting to see how he adjusts when blocking, maybe he'll just knock people out with his 2 clubs.

Classic.

Mom told me that on Monday Night Live on Comcast Sports Net that Jansen was on the show and Ramsey, Springs, and Chick Hernandez did the show with socks on their hands. :lol:

That's called bonding. It's a hallmark of a Gibbs coached team. It's also the thing that sets champions apart!
