If you missed the part of the Steelers-Dolphins game in which Cody Wallace jammed his fingers up Randy Starks' butt during a scrum for a fumble, consider yourself lucky. But, ah, we got ya, here it is (via CBS)!
Yeah, that looks horrible. Like getting held down and tickled, roughly... in the anus.
Not surprisingly, Starks, a lineman who has been in plenty of piles in his 10-year career, feels "violated" by Wallace. From the Sun Sentinel:
"I've heard of stuff like that happening. This is the first time it has happened to me," said Starks, a 10-year veteran. "If I knew exactly who that was at the time I probably would have been thrown out [the game]. It's a good thing I didn't.
"When I turned around I saw two people and didn't know which one it was," said Starks, who this season has contributed 36 tackles, three sacks, forced a fumble and recovered one. "If I had gotten thrown out then maybe [the NFL] would have understood. I'm glad I didn't know who it was because it would have gotten ugly out there."
The NFL has reportedly been made aware of the play, and we'd be surprised if Wallace didn't receive some sort of fine. It's tough to imagine anyone rationalizing why this needed to happen.
It wouldn't be a story about Dolphins players being made uncomfortable without a little bit of irony, too:
What has gotten ugly is the amount of jokes Starks has heard from his teammates since they saw the replay on the plane ride home from Pittsburgh.
"They are getting on me, [asking for results of the] prostate [exam] and stuff like that," Starks said. "I'm hearing it."
Well, they have to make fun of somebody now that Jonathan Martin is gone.
