A league source tells us that the talk among the Browns is that tight end Kellen Winslow landed in the Cleveland Clinic because his balls swelled to the size of grapefruits.
(We think that technical term is testiculus coconutus.)
Actually, one explanation for the situation is a condition known as hyrdocele. And while the condition in itself isn’t serious, it could be a symptom of testicular cancer.
And, yeah, I squirmed in my chair the entire time I typed this.

I thought he was a soldier. Shouldn’t it be called Trench Crotch?

If he gets a staph infection on his balls, I’m resigning as a Browns fan.

I kinda guessed this when they were all hush hush about this illness. It was either an STD or something else groin-related.

Steve Peru…
Perhaps Ricky Argentina?

I can see how that might be a tad alarming to a guy.

I had a hydrocele… it took 2 surgeries to get it right.
No real link to cancer, although I was real scared about it at the time.

I really hope it isn’t testicular cancer. If not caught early enough, that can spread.

Now that’s a prayer Benjamin! Hopefully God doesn’t punish you with Winslow’s disease. Even if he does, he’ll probably be laughing his ass off like the rest of us.

While the opportunity for absurd jokes at Winslow’s benefit is simply screaming out for attention… I will pass. My dad actually had the same thing happen to him roughly fifteen years ago. It turned out he had testicular cancer, and had to go through a TON of chemo AFTER they removed the left testicle. All joking aside, I hope that Winslow is ok…
that, and I hope he doesnt mistake one of his nuts for a grapefruit come breakfast time. Knowing how stupid this guy has been in the past, I wouldnt put it past him… wonder if he prefers his grapefruit juice freshly squeezed…. eeewwww!!!!

its pretty clear the 1st 7 comments on here from from folks who havent or havent known someone to suffer and/or die from testicular cancer.
im as much of a nonwinslow fan that there is out here but these responses really just pretty much disgust me.
heres hoping its nothing serious, regardless of whom it is we are talking about.

A buddy of mine had something(I have no idea what it was called), but his balls kinda like, intertwined…or something to that effect. His nuts swelled up fairly large too, and apparently he waited a week or so before going to the hospital. Well, long story short, he waited too long and had to have them removed. This is the only other time I heard of someones balls swelling to grapefruit size…sorry Kellen, hope you’re doing better than him.
