Nick Barnett’s training camp necessities

Nick Barnett’s training camp necessities

This being the day and age of the blogs, twitter, and facebook we are able to get some great firsthand accounts of what it's like to experience an NFL training camp.  From rookies (Gartrell Johnson) to vets (Lawrence Timmons and Greg Olson),  it seems that everyone is talking about the excitement, the pain, the hard work, and the preparation that goes into training camp.

Nick Barnett, the Green Bay Packers six year veteran is no exception.  Via twitter this morning Nick lets us in on the items he doesn't want to forget for the grueling weeks ahead.

Have to check in to dorm... Things not to forget!! Xbox Tv soap tooth brush, baby wipes, shampo, clean under wear,, and a can of whoop ass!!

Is it just me or does one thing stand out more than the rest?  What catches your eye in that statement?  (Besides the poorly placed commas.  . . . .  Like I'm one to talk) I'm guessing, and kind of hoping, that the majority of you answered baby wipes. "A can of whoop ass" probably a close second.  Baby wipes seemed to stand out and get mixed reactions from many of Nick's followers.  Nick gets everything from agreement, to jokes, to being called nasty about his choice.  (Or maybe he was nasty for sharing, I'm not sure) Not being the man to apologize for telling the truth, Nick backed up his comment and explained:

Yea need baby wipes toilet paper just does not do the trick!!! Lol

Well we've certainly crossed the line into strange territory here.  This is true inside reporting like we'll never see covered on the NFL Network, ESPN, or the pages of a Sports Illustrated.   For good reason probably.  (Although it would make another interesting episode of the show "After the  Buzzer" I made up in my head a few posts back.  Snooping around players dorm rooms during camp to see what they all brought.)

Nick just laughs and agrees with many of his followers "TMI" sentiments by saying:

Yea might have been a lil too much info!! LolYea might have been a lil too much info!! Lol

A "lil" too much information?  A "lil" too much information is how you like your eggs, what side of the bed you sleep on, if you're a leg, thigh, or breast man.  (I'm talking chicken here people!!) That was WAY more information than I EVER needed to know!! I'm guessing way more than most anyone needed to know.  Although. . .  It would be a nice factoid to share with everyone in the Packers game day program this year.
