Insert Rose-Based Play On Words Here

Weird, I had just clicked on Unskinny Bop before I came to this page. Before yesterday, a song I hadn’t heard in years and years.

Gambling tendencies? Are you seriously talking about the March Madness pool he entered? Granted, his pay-in was much more than most Americans throw into their office pool, but if he shouldn’t be coaching due to participating in a hoops pool, neither should the majority of coaches in America.

Don’t forget he won his lawsuit against UW and got 4.5 Mill for it. All he lied about was playing the pool, that’s what they fired him for. The real question is the recruiting violations at Colorado. He will be hard pressed to recruit against USC. Will the temptation to get an edge be too much for him?

There’s some strange NOB action that’s been going on for a while for the Blackburn Rovers. Morten Gamst Pedersen (Gamst Pedersen being his surname) wears only link. He got special permission from the EPL to do this (it’s his mother’s maiden name). Has anyone else ever done this?

link of MGP’s NOB.

And one last time.

Could anyone explain why Randy Moss’ jersey number 8 is upside down – I notice it almost every week!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems that everyone in today’s games in the EPL is wearing a black armband, even the referees. Who or what is this for?

Is Randy’s “8” the only one upside down? Or are all the Pats 8’s applied like that?

I noticed Randy’s, but never looked at the other guys.

and you gotta love Oregon State’s “sports bra look”

Not a great link, but here’s Warren Moon in the ’78 Rose Bowl. The Huskies hadn’t been for nearly 20 years, and did the single-rose patch… then they went a couple more times in the next few years, and added additional roses to the patch each time.

Probably something to do with the fact that Birmingham City were wearing their home blue/white kit. I would be more curious as to why they didn’t wear their away kits, but after their pasting at White Hart Lane on Boxing Day (5-1), I can think of a few reasons why they chose to stick with the home whites.

Because their link create even more confusion vs. link than the link. Their link made perfect sense, but were nowhere to be seen. Go figure.

LOL, of all the places I never thought I’d see that… just not here~

a nice 33 degree day on the lake in cleveland and the refs are wearing knickers. gotta love that.

Really good tidbit just came up during booth discussion at the Green Bay game. I’m on my way out the door, so I can’t do any research, but one of the guys is a former Cowboy who played in a Pro-Bowl in the mid 90s that Brett Favre also played in.

Apparently this guy’s helmet was stolen and he had nothing to wear. The equipment guy told him sometimes other guys bring extra helmets to trade or get signed. He asked around and ended up using one of Brett Favre’s extra helmets during the Pro Bowl.

I’ve never heard anything like that.

Yet it’s 52 degrees in Oakland and they’re wearing the pants. My mom even made the comment, “Those pants the officials wear are so ugly.”

I got an authentic NFL jersey for X-mas, and I’ve already got a mild spot on one of the white numbers. Does anybody have a tip about how to remove the spot without ruining the jersey? All tips are welcome!!

Here’s the whole web page with several decent color pics:

Red jerseys, white pants — if you squinted, it looked like the Giants wearing their red alternates.

[quote comment=”195183″]Great shot of the Illini jersey. I saw that jersey in person when I was a senior in h.s.
A girl that sat next to me in English class was dating a player from that team, and he gave her the jersey after the game and she wore it to school after the winter recess. I remember thinking that jersey was dynamite, especially the patch. Nice job.[/quote]

Hell, yeah! That’s the Neuheisel I’m speakin’ of! Besides, the National…Football…League frowns on gambling of any kind, legal and otherwise, plus after the NBA referee scandal, this makes it ten times magnified than a year ago.

Here’s a heads-up… Supposedly the LAKERS are doing something “unbelievable” with their uniform for the game tonight against the Celtics.

It was Moose Johnston who mentioned he had to borrow Favre’s helmet in the Pro Bowl. This was mentioned in Paul’s ESPN article for “Holiday gift ideas” but it was stated that he wore Reggie White’s helmet. I have tried looking for a picture and have come up short. We do need a picture of this!

Moose even went into detail on the broadcast saying he wore a Bike helmet, and after putting on Favre’s helmet, which he said was Riddell, he said it was a lot lighter and felt awkward. He also stated his dad was a huge Packers fan and asked him after the game if he wore that helmet for him. Pretty cool story if you ask me.

[quote comment=”195207″]phil, i don’t think that is his jersey. based on the way lineman have them tailored i think it is a torn undershirt.[/quote]

thanks brandon…i couldn’t tell ifn it was his jersey or an undergarment of some kind…i HOPE it’s not his jersey

on an unrelated note…link

It was Moose Johnson, I remember turning on the game late and seeing him in a Packers helmet. As a Cowboy’s fan, I almost shit myself thinking he was traded between the end of the season and the Pro Bowl. Later, in the game the announcers eplained again what had happened, so then I could “concentrate” on the Pro Bowl.

Also, does anyone remember in All-Star games when they couldn’t wear the same number and the player with more seniority got his number and the youngre player had to pick a number that wasn’t used?

Okay lets try this link again…

It was Daryl “Moose” Johnston. The funny part of that was that Brett ended up giving that helmet to Emmitt Smith after the game in a trade.

looks like LAKERS-CELTICS in short shorts!

it’s only the Lakers in real short shorts. Trevor Ariza is sporting the yellow knee pads!

What’s the opposite of a sight for sore eyes?

That’s how I feel about the Lakers and those shorts.

As long as we can’t tell what religion they are, I’m okay with it. Some of the best ball ever played in the NBA was by guys in shorts like that–Magic, Bird, et al. The super-baggy shorts first popularized by MJ and then further blown up by the Fab Five have become a triumph of form over function. At what point does all that extra fabric get in the way and slow you down?

Game is very chippy right now, another throwback to Boston-LA matchups in the ’80s.

Good lord! Arizona needs to quit all that red monochrome nonsense. Rams need to dump the white pants too (well maybe just change the stripe down the side). I don’t mind the navy monochrome though.

I wanna see these again!

short-shorts update: the Lakers left them in the locker room and went back to 21st century length shorts for the second half. The fact they’re getting their butts kicked may have something to do with it.

i would debate that jordan ever wore “super baggy” shorts. he was just the first to ask for added length in the inseam, and even then, at that phenomena’s inception, it wasnt TOO outrageous. it was just unusual to see. jordan always seemed to maintain a look of class in the way he looked.
you would never have seen him in something like this…

although jordan will always be attributed with starting this wave of how to wear your hoop shorts, he wouldnt even be among the top 25 of those nba’ers guilty of REALLY wearing “super baggy” and excessively tailored shorts.

From both the “Never saw that before…” and the “ALWAYS bring your camera!” departments…

During this week’s “Heaven’s Best” high school basketball tournament in Little Rock, a couple of teams had uni-related gaffes. Harding Academy (Memphis, TN) had a problem with their home whites, forcing them to wear their road reds as the home team against Joe T. Robinson High (Pulaski County, Ark.) Since the Robinson Senators wear black road unis, no problem… but the next game… Hoo, boy!

The Earle (Ark.) Bulldogs were supposed to be the “road” team against the Prescott (Ark.) Curley Wolves (and yes, that’s both the correct spelling and the correct team name for Prescott High!) But both teams came out for the warmups wearing home whites, trimmed with maroon numbers and lettering. There wasn’t enough difference between the vartically-arched “Bulldogs” unis with block numbers and the radially-arched “Curley Wolves” unis with “Viper”-styled numbers. After a delay, somebody found a set of “away” uniform shirts belonging to the Little Rock Hall High Warriors… so the Bulldogs donned the orange-and-white shirts; despite the eyeball-searing combination of orange, white, and maroon!

(The Goaler admits I shoulda had my camera… ye gods!)

The Lakers look might have worked if they reigned in the baggy jerseys too. I think what gave the effect of super tiny shorts was the fact that the shirts were ballooning out of the top (and they were small shorts).

Sorry, but does anyone else think it was just plain stupid of the Lakers to wear 80’s shorts only, and not the whole uniform? And also, the whole effect is wrecked by the pressure shorts (of varying colors no less) sticking out of the leg holes. Couldn’t they go without those for this one game? If you’re not gonna do it right, don’t do it at all, for crying out loud.
