Former New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles punter Sean Landeta called radio host Spike Eskin on air after asking him a private question about his playing days.
Before the NFL playoffs, Eskin called Landeta on air at 94 WIP in Philadelphia to ask him the strange question about shaving his private parts in front of his teammates in the sauna.
The locker room story was previously revealed by former Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell, who played with Landeta in his first two NFL seasons.
When Eskin called Landeta on the show, the conversation quickly became awkward as the former punter didn't appreciate the humor behind the story.
“Freddie Mitchell was on the morning show today and he mentioned that you and Jon Ritchie were often in the sauna together, but Mitchell mentioned, how should I put it, that you would groom, uh, your nether regions in the sauna.” Eskin said.
'You want to call me on prime time radio in Philadelphia and talk to me about something like that,' Landeta responded with an increasingly angry tone. 'Are you kidding me? I know this is TMZ Radio and I like Freddie, you know, good teammate and all that. But what he said was absolutely false.

Spike Eskin asked Landeta about shaving his private parts in front of his teammates in the sauna.
The locker room story was previously revealed by former Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell.
“I totally deny having been in the sauna with Jon Ritchie,” he added. “That never happened.”
'Now, there may have been a time when I was alone and maybe had to shave a little? Ok, maybe that's something that happens privately in a locker room, and there's a saying that in the NFL is supposed to go: 'What you see here or what you say here stays here and never leaves here.'
'Obviously Mr Freddie must have wanted some people to say 'Oh wow'… but I'm disappointed in Mr Mitchell. I'm going to have to talk to him about that.'
Landeta's reprimands did not end there and he continued yelling at the hosts, who claimed that they were “just having fun.”
“One guy embarrasses another guy,” Landeta said. 'I understand what I'm facing. I think with the Eagles having a playoff game right around the corner they wouldn't be talking about guys in saunas.'
Mitchell's career is best remembered for catching a fourth-and-26 pass from Donovan McNabb to save Philadelphia's 2003 season and defeat the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs.
The victory gave the Birds an appearance in the NFC Championship game.
On the other hand, Landeta played in the NFL for 22 seasons, including nine with the Giants where he won two Super Bowl titles in 1986 and 1990.
The punter retired in 2005 after a Super Bowl appearance with the Eagles at the age of 43.
