Florida Running Back Adam Lane Says Pooping His Pants In The Middle Of The Game Was "The Best Thing That Could Have Happened"

It was the best thing that could have happened. It got a lot of attention and just put me in a place where I was out there publicly and people knew who I was. I really didn’t get a lot of grief from it. A lot of people were really more focused on how well I did in the game than anything. I feel like it was that way because I embraced it. That’s actually the first time something like that has ever happened. … I embraced it. Even running off the field after it happened, I waved at the crowd after I ran off to go change. And I waved when I came back.” [Richard Johnson]

Is that source’s name really Richard Johnson?  Dick Johnson talking about poop? What a tailor made Barstool story. And I kind of admire Adam Lane’s positive outlook on this to be honest. A weaker man might have buckled under the humiliation here, might have fallen into a pit of despair as the loops on the Vine and laughter around the internet echoed in his mind. Getting caught literally pooping yourself on an HD camera in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers could be the downfall of men without the right mental fortitude. But Adam Lane embraced it and made it a positive.  People know his name now.  Blogs are talking about him.  He’s a somebody.  Good for him. If ever the phrase taking lemons and making lemonade has applied it’s right here, except instead of lemons we’re talking about poop in this case.
