Down, Set, Freeze

Ok this is just a quick side note, but it's something that has never happened to me before. Tonight at practice it was cold. Not snuggle around a camp fire cold, not wrap up and stay warm cold...no no no! I'm talking frozen fingers, can't move your body, drink a bottle of liquor and jump off the Titanic like that one guy from the movie type of cold, but I want to clarify it was not close to the ice bowl Cowboys vs Packers cold. So I know it could've been worse. (Atleast to me... fyi Texas was always hot, and Atlanta not that cold either....I've been lucky)

So anyways something happened that I thought was incredible. It defines the cold for me. So I was coaching the line on some blocking schemes and I took out my mouthpiece after doing sled work with the guys. I started talking about play action blocking schemes and literally 5 mins later I stopped to get back in the drill and demonstrate. I grabbed my mouthpiece and put it in my mouth and I literally bit into ice. My saliva had frozen in 5 mins, that's what type of cold were talking. Now I know there has been worse and I know some people from the north might have had this experience, but it was new to me. I mean seriously my spit freezing. You'll have to let me know if that's something that happens often or if it was that cold...
