LaRon Landry's groin injury was no accident!

The way this story is shaping up, the JFK assassination might not have anything on LaRon Landry and Paintballgate.

In a team-building excercise gone horribly wrong, LaRon Landry got kicked shot in the nuts playing paintball, and has since missed a good bit of practice due to the gingerly nature of the injury. Culprit was unidentified.

Accidents happen, though in a bizarre twist, this might not be an accident at all. Pro Football Talk has an admittedly unsubstantiated scoop on the fiasco, all of which is alleged at this point:

Presuming truth for the sake of laughter, who is the culprit? We know it is a defensive back, though Running Redskins doubts it was Sean Taylor. I agree, because if Taylor targeted Landry for execution, he wouldn't have stopped with his nuts. Death by paintball(s).

As an admitted Law and Order junky, first order of business is establishing motive. Who benefits most from a groined LaRon Landry? Check the roster... Per the Times:

Or Pierson Prioleau?

I am joking, by the way. In spite of the surgical accuracy of the shot, and entertaining circumstances introduced by PFT, I am absolutely confident that no one on the team would purposefully injure another player, especially in this groin-grabbingly heinous nature. Surely man law precedent or some other imperative preempts targeting another's testicles, though announced paintball execution might take etiquette out of combat, if any existed in the first.

Personally, I wouldn't shoot another dude in the balls, on purpose at least. [ED. Unless something really super important hinged on the outcome as well, like my ego or the final score of a competitive paintball game.]

Deuce of Davenport, The Ball. His Groin. It Works On So Many Levels.
