Helmet warmer

[Reverend Conehead]

Until this week's games, I didn't realize that the players have a thimbamabobber on the sidelines that keeps their helmet warm until they go back in to play. Am I the only one who didn't know that was a thing?

I want to invent something cool like that. The NFL pays a premium on products/equipment so I’m sure the dude that invented those things is rich.

I don't think it's a warmer - it's just air to dry it out, maybe a cooler.

Bill Bates worked on creating a safer environment for football players through the production of air-cooled shoulder pads and the Temperature Management System (TMS). This was several years ago. Not sure if these pads are still being used.

I believe it does both heat and cool.

I took my inspiration from Robo Cop and invented Robo Tackle but my coding skills suck and he was always flagged for a false start. I am back to a 9 to 5.

So you didn't invent the Lane Johnson version. Too bad.

.. same here I had no clue. And it sure is interesting.

If that's not an Urban Dictionary term, it should be.

I applied but didn't get a job at a manufacturer that makes those misting fans for the nfl. They send some of their employees to the SB every year as a perk.

yeah, it's been around several years, how many i don't know. but i did notice them before. Guess it's first come first served because there aren't enough for every player. The next big thing is one they can stick down their pants, LOL....the thermamaprobe.

I saw recently that the Miami Dolphins designed their stadium so that the visiting benches would be in direct sunlight in the afternoon, while theirs is in the shade. In hot weather, it can be 90 degrees on their side and 120 on the other. Teams started bringing in cooling benches to combat this.

I’d bring mirrors in to reflect the sunlight to the home side.
