Vaseline keeps you warm?

[msg]

Did anyone see this article today where Crowder says the older guys recommend covering his arms and legs in vaseline to keep warm in the cold? Is this some sort of joke? some hazing perhaps?

I can't imagine running around the field covered in vaseline, although it would make it quite hard to tackle him!

pretty funny if it is some type of hazing

hmm interesting....maybe if they put the vaseline on then put the long sleeves on it somehow sustains your body heat:confused: ....not sure seems a little odd

I dont like the fact Channing is saying he hates the cold. It shows weakness I sure hope his play doesnt drop any just because its cold. If he cannot perform in the cold than he is basically worthless since we are in the afc northeast division.

I think the only way it keeps you off is shielding your skin from the wind

long distance swimmers use vaseline to insulate themselves from the water

He's a defensive player so he should be allowed to wear it.

Actually, Researchers in cold weather climates, such as Anarctica will put a thin layer of vaseline on any exposed skin areas before going out on the ice. It helps to protect against the cold wind and acts a a layer of insulation to keep in some of the heat.
