Too Much Information From Steven Jackson

This story was too funny to pass up. In the category of “Too Much Information” — I’ve heard of strange ideas for dates, but when St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson’s girlfriend suggested they go for colon cleansings — well, that topped them all. Of course, every NFL athlete is looking for an edge (especially Steven who is coming off a frustrating and injury-riddled ‘07 season), so he reluctantly gave in:

“It lasted about 45 minutes, and by the end, I wanted to cry. Let’s just say I got stabbed in the (rear) six times ….. I went in there and put on a hospital gown and lay there face up on a table with a hole underneath, and I was totally nervous. My hands were covered in sweat, and the (colon therapist) lady comes in and starts talking my ear off. There’s this thin hose-type-thing that you put up there that shoots water into you and sucks everything out, but I had trouble getting it in, and then it kept coming out. The lady had to come back six different times and put it back in there. It was brutal ….. I can’t believe we’re talking about it. But I will say this: Once you get it all out of you, your body feels great. You get a boost of energy, and you feel like you can accomplish anything.”

Personally, unless a doctor orders this procedure (as I shift uncomfortably in my seat thinking about it), I’m not volunteering myself. I’ll just stick with drinking a lot of water. As for Steven, he’ll probably show up at camp a few pounds lighter. And maybe even faster.
