Foxhole Guy: 49ers Charvarius Ward Throws Up Before Every Single Game, Doesn't Calm Down Until He Head Butts A Couple Teammates

See, this is the type of guy every team needs. Not even because he's good or the talent factor. You need a little bit of crazy on a great defense and that's what Ward brings. Throwing up before every single game? I get nerves but never once did I feel the need to yak before anything. Can't imagine doing it 17 times during a regular season. Just sitting there at your locker room knowing it's coming and you can't stop it. Sure, everyone has their own traditions and rituals before a game, doesn't matter if you're playing in high school or the pros. Some people eat a pretzel or the same food before a game. Some listen to the same music. Ward feels the need to puke it out. 

But what I love even more? His calming factor is head butting a couple teammates. That's a football guy. Not getting out onto the field or just remembering you're fucking good. Nope, it's head butting your teammates. A couple knocks on the head and you're snapping out of the puke. That's a guy I want in the foxhole with me. You know he's ready the moment you smell puke, which is one of the worst smells out there. Still can't handle the smell, sound or anything of someone puking. I'm like Andy in the Office, if I see someone throwing up, get out of the way. 

The more I think about it, the smarter this move is. We've heard stories of linemen pissing themselves to make them smell more. Getting some puke breath is up there too. Dive on a pile and just start breathing heavily? Get that smell wafting into the nostrils of an opponent? That's mental warfare right there. No one wants that smell and the first time you whiff it, you can't get away from it. 

We already got a revenge game here for Ward

Now we're talking puke. Gonna need a live update on when he throws up on Sunday.
