For the uninitiated, cornhole is a yard game with two wooden ramps, each with a hole cut out, and teams of two players each attempt to toss beanbags through the hole, to land on the ramp or knock the opposition's bags off the ramp. My Ohio-bred brother-in-law introduced my family to the game a couple of years ago. Although I admit to lacking coordination, it's not as easy it sounds or looks. But it's pretty freaking entertaining. Especially with beer.
The NFL reports that coach Todd Haley got the club hooked on playing the game in the locker room, and it has helped players gel. It sounds like an odd thing for a team of burly football players to bond over. But it sure beats getting the team to play dangerous army-ranger games together. That can end badly. It's fine if Haley and his players want to credit a backyard party game for getting their season back on track, but they've been playing since just after week two, and lost in week three. They haven't lost since the Haley-Matt Cassel sideline dust-up in week four. It's clear. Screaming fixes everything.

ok that would be a john madden move explaining they obvious........well well that realy mean't.
opinionator - This game is NOT spelled corn hole (2 words) it's spelled cornhole (1 word). That is where the difference is between a backyard game and your fantasies.

I first heard that term over 50 years ago as part of a childhood joke. In response to a potential "client" who wanted to pay for her favors with corn, the native american prostitute replied, "Front hole, money-hole, back hole, corn-hole. I'll be here all week.
I bet ol James Martes knows the difference between a Rectal and Oral thermometer too......
Not to disagree with the distinguished minds posting here but ‘corn hole’ is an anus reference not a sexual reference per say. If you were to add 'ed' so that it said 'corn holed' then it would be a sexual reference.
Anyway, who says the season is saved and if it is saved then which “corn hole saved the season”? If it is saved it damn sure won’t be because of a bean bag toss game.
Well, thank you so much, Dingus, for enlightening us about the definition of cornhole. Did you think we all just fell off your turnip truck? I bet you explain the punchline on jokes, too, huh? Didja get it? Didja get it???
