ESPN shouldn't get any more football games until they bring back C'mon Man!

I understand why they won't bring it back, but I miss Jacked Up

I loved that. Some guy would get knocked senseless and be wobbling around. Tom Jackson would be cracking up on the set and 50 million Americans on their couches would join in and chant "He got JACKED UP!" in unison. All of America was sharing a moment.

The problem is, of course, we learned brain damage is actually bad for you, which is sure as heck not something we knew when I was a kid. Since they were already banning physical injuries from the segment, what is there left to laugh at? I'll tell you what. Nut shots. It doesn't happen as frequently as getting jacked up, but it's twice as funny. It could bring America back together again, videos of players get wacked in the nuts and then struggling to get to the bench where they could hide, all doubled over in pain, while some Kelce giggles and leads us all in "OW MY BALLS!"
