LaRon Landry: Shot In Groin

Somewhere John Parker Wilson is laughing with Brody Croyle. It all comes full circle. After those highlight reel hits, LaRon Landry has gotten his comeuppance: paintball to the groin. Witnesses did report hearing a faint "Roll Tide!" after the fateful shot.

LaRon Landry, former LSU safety and destroyer of worlds, was shot in the groin in an amusing game of paintball with his Redskins teammates. There is no better way to build up team chemistry than by shooting balls of paint at each other at high velocity, especially if those paint balls end up in sensitive areas.

The only time I went paintballing, I found it an exercise in avoiding heat stroke and Lyme disease carrying ticks. For those of you who have never felt the need, or never gotten the opportunity, to shoot your coworker with a paintball gun, it's not that great. Of course, I've generally liked the people I work with. Shooting your office's version of Dwight Schrute might be worth the lasting impression of taking a paintball, just not to the groin. And you know that's where Schrute is aiming.
