Seattle Seahawks kicker Josh Brown had to be hospitalized today with what was called a "scorched scrotum". Brown was testing the warm-up pants that he planned on wearing during this weekend's playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The pants are battery powered to keep the legs at a comfortable 75 degrees. Game time temperature for Saturday's game is expected to be 32 degrees with snow.

The pants malfunctioned during practice and teammates noticed when Brown began shouting, "Fuck! Shit! Fuck!" as smoke was pouring from the top and bottom of the pants. An always prepared Matt Hasselbeck was able to put out the fire using a couple bottles of water.
