Alright, so you wanna know about that thingamajig hanging off them football fellas, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t nothin’ fancy.
First off, you got that towel thingy. Yeah, a towel! Them boys sweat like pigs out there runnin’ and jumpin’, so they need somethin’ to wipe their hands on. Can’t be havin’ no slippery hands when you’re tryin’ to catch that there pigskin, now can ya? So, that little strap you see, that’s just holdin’ a towel. Keeps it handy, see? They just reach back, grab it, wipe their hands, and boom! Ready to go. It’s like when I’m cookin’ up a storm in the kitchen, I keep a rag right by my side, for the same reason you know.

Now, some folks might get it mixed up with somethin’ else they wear. I heard tell of somethin’ called a “Q-Collar.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? But that ain’t the same as the towel thing. This Q-Collar, from what I gather, it’s supposed to help keep their heads safe. You know, all that bangin’ and crashin’ they do, gotta protect the noggin. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. It goes around their neck, not hangin’ off their pants.
- Towel Loop: For wipin’ sweat and keepin’ hands dry.
- Q-Collar: For protectin’ their heads.
- Some fancy tails: For lookin’ good, I reckon. Just for show, not for doin’ anything useful. Some young fellas like to put on airs.
Then there’s them fellas who like to have a little somethin’ extra, you know? Like them long tails hangin’ down. That’s just for show, I reckon. Young fellas always gotta be flashy, ain’t they? Reminds me of my grandson, always wearin’ them bright, silly shoes. But hey, to each their own, I say.
And let me tell ya, these football fellas, they got all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. I heard about some of ’em usin’ tape on their shoulders, or wearin’ them soccer shin guards. Always tryin’ to get an edge, they are. It’s like when I used to put a little extra sugar in my pies to make ’em taste better. Everybody’s got their secrets, I guess.
But that strap you asked about, most of the time it’s just for that towel. Nothin’ more, nothin’ less. It ain’t rocket science. It’s just common sense. You’re runnin’ around, you’re sweatin’, you need to wipe your hands. Simple as that. So next time you see that thing hangin’ down, you’ll know. It’s just a towel holder, for cryin’ out loud!
And don’t let nobody tell you different. These city folks, they like to complicate things, make ’em sound all fancy and important. But it ain’t. It’s just a towel. Like I always say, keep it simple, stupid. That’s how you get things done.
So, to sum it all up: That string you see hangin’ from them NFL players? Most likely, it’s a towel loop. It holds a towel. They use the towel to wipe their sweat. End of story. Now, go on and enjoy your football game, and don’t worry your pretty little head about it no more.

And if you see somethin’ else hangin’ off ’em, well, it’s probably just another one of their tricks. These fellas are always up to somethin’. But as long as they ain’t cheatin’, I guess it’s alright. It’s all part of the game, you know? Just like how I used to sneak an extra piece of pie when nobody was lookin’. It’s all part of life.
