Funkyalligator Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Holmes, Hanson burned by spilled fondue -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Jaret Holmes and punter Chris Hanson were severely burned when a fondue pot slipped and overturned. Both players have recovered from the accident, which occurred while they were cooking at Hanson's home earlier this month. Hanson sustained first- and second-degree burns on both hands and his right ankle. He punts with his left foot. Hanson said Holmes also sustained severe burns. Hanson's wife, Kasey, sustained second- and third-degree burns that required skin grafts. She also has recovered. "It happened so fast,'' Hanson told the Florida Times-Union. He said they were moving the fondue pot when it slipped onto the tile floor in his house. "Then, my wife fell into it,'' Hanson said. "I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's been quite an ordeal.'' He said his wife has just returned home from the burn unit at Shands Hospital in Gainesville. Hanson made the Jaguars' roster as a free agent last season and had a 37.1-yard net average. He is favored to win the job again this year. Holmes, who signed with the Jaguars late last season as a kickoff specialist, is one of three kickers competing to replace Mike Hollis. Both are expected to be fully recovered when training camp begins July 25. Neither plans any more fondue meals. "We've already thrown out the pot,'' Hanson said. __________________________________________________ Wow this must suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I'll refrain from limp wristed jokes about those two but man its in the category of two hairdresser dudes getting burned by a hotcomb while styling one chicks hair. Just how close were they to each other for one pot to burn they both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 The title of this thread keeps making me think of that Monty Python sketch. Did you ever think there were that many cheeses in the world. Holy Cholesterol, Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
