I probably shouldn’t laugh, because this is something that I can totally see happening to me. SMH. Cowboys safety Barry Church will no longer choose Jolly Ranchers as his choice of sweets. Why? Because it caused to miss practice … because of a jolly rancher injury. Whaaat? Yea. I’m sure his teammate are going to have all kinds of jokes for him. Details after the jump…
Via SN:
Barry Church is finished with Jolly Ranchers. The candy-loving Dallas Cowboys safety missed a day of training camp because of a cherry-flavored one.
Church chipped a tooth on a piece of the hard candy about a week before reporting to camp. He felt pain off and on, but says it was unbearable when he woke up Monday morning.
The fourth-year pro missed a walkthrough and a full practice to get a root canal, but returned Tuesday.
Church says he “caught a couple of zingers” from coaches and teammates and isn’t happy that he has to stay away from candy for a while.
Once he can eat candy again, Church says he’ll “stick to the soft stuff.”
