We're still totally in love with MTV's reality show The Paper, and its portrayal of teens as something other than the scary, greedy, illiterate assholes we've become used to seeing on television. On last night's episode, managing editor Alex and another Circuit staff member decided to do a "serious" investigative journalism piece on what life is like for a high school football player by temporarily joining the team for a day; to do so, they were required to get physicals. Interestingly, the idea of having to do the ball-cough test in front of one another seemed way more frightening to the two than having to face 250-lb. linebackers. Clip above.
