Kyle Vanden Bosch Is the Devil

At least that's probably what Texans right tackle Zach Wiegert was thinking as Vanden Bosch abused him all afternoon during their Oct. 29 meeting:

[After facing Vanden Bosch] Wiegert may have understandably believed he was facing a man possessed. Vanden Bosch's eyes, after all, were glowing orange and red throughout the game. It wasn't a Halloween treat. It was the NFL's newest answer to glare - amber contact lenses that are more effective than a tinted visor or old-fashioned eye black.

Dopey Halloween jokes aside, this is the first I'm hearing of the amber-tinted contact lenses. Apparently, many of the Titans use them and Pac-Man Jones was the first. (If I had to guess, Jones probably wore color contacts to the club, got arrested, and was released just in time to make the 1PM kickoff. He forgot to take them out and just started telling people they worked better than eye black.)

Danny Weikert, ophthalmologist for the Titans, said Vince Young wore them at Texas and has also given strong reviews. In mid-October Weikert fitted 10 or 12 other Titans, primarily skill position players, for the Nike-produced lenses.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Nike starts marketing these to fans. And let me say that I'm very much looking forward to getting a pair of Tom Bradys.
