Boys will be boys?! SMH. This I just don’t understand. I know every guys wants to be tough, calling a man soft is super insulting. No one wants that. So how do you make a point to prove your toughness?! You let an animal bite your penis?! WTH?!
Check out this crazy story by Urban Meyer, the head football coach at Ohio State University.
According to Steve Schrader at Detroit Free Press:
Ohio State coach opened his speech to the Ohio coaches convention last weekend with an anecdote from his days as a brand-new Earle Bruce assistant, when Woody Hayes came in to give the staff a pep talk.
Woody’s theme, Meyer said, was the staff lacked toughness and he used a snapping turtle as a visual aid.
Said Meyer: “He reaches down, this turtle’s snapping and he says, ‘I’m going to show you toughness.’ He unzips his pants and takes out whatever he takes out. The turtle reaches up and snaps at him. You see the veins and the sweat. He screams at the coaches, ‘That’s toughness! That’s effin’ toughness!’
“He reaches down, pokes the turtle right in the eye and it falls off. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and says, ‘That’s the problem. We don’t have anybody in this room tough enough to do that right there.’
“(One assistant) raises his hand and says, ‘Coach, I’d do this. Just promise not to poke me in the eye.’ ” Coach humor! And it drew laughs from Meyer’s audience of coaches.
Here’s the full video of the press conference:

Update:
OSU still sent out an advisory Tuesday saying a turtle never actually bit Hayes down there, and “Urban was exaggerating in a joking fashion.” And no turtles were harmed in the telling of this story.
