I read this in a book or article about the 1972 Dolphins, (I can't remember which one):

A player someone thought should be taken down a peg put on his jockstrap and found it was covered with something called "atomic balm". He didn't discover it until one of Don Shula's famous meetings was underway. Shula hated interruptions and it took all the mental strength the player could muster to get though the meeting without screaming in agony.

The second it ended, he bolted from the room, ripped the jockstrap off and jumped into the shower - only to find that water made it worse. He pleaded with the trainer to save him and the trainer found some gunk that was the antidote and covered the poor guy's nether regions with it. He decided to find something that could hold it on there for a while so he grabbed a rubber glove, filled it with the gunk and positioned it over the man's manhood.

Shula had taken the team out to the practice field, where he also didn't like things interrupted. The player, now past his agony, regained his sense of humor and showed up wearing a robe. Shula and his teammates regarded him dubiously. The player opened the robe and out came what appeared to be a yellow hand, bobbing up and down, ready to be shaken.

It floored everyone except the shaken Shula, who decided to cancel the practice because nobody could concentrate on anything.
