This is more like it.
Some times I can be such a woman.
Like, remember that time I wrote about how unbent visors annoy me?
What the hell was that all about?
And then that time I wrote about stirrups?
I’m a PC kinda guy and all, but back when I was in school, any guy writing about socks would clearly be called g-a-y. And in southern Indiana, that wasn’t exactly a hip thing.
But get this — it doesn’t stop there. I also wrote about guys in baseball who pull their pant legs down.
How does a sports blog take itself seriously when writing so much about fashion? I mean – seriously? Reading this blog is getting to be like watching “The Devil Wears Prada” minus that hot chick, Anne What’s Her Face. (BTW, her boss was such a bitch! OMG!!!)
But here’s the thing: I really, really want to say something about the New England Patriots’s uniforms.
I know, I know — that stuff I said earlier. But still. Did you see highlights from the game over the weekend? The Pats, wearing their old school uniforms, making Tom Brady look like Steve Grogan?
Those uniforms rock, man! For years now, we’ve been stuck with those hideous, USFL-looking things the Patriots wear. And because they’ve been succesful with them, and dumb jock-types are superstitious, they’ll probably stay with them.
And it’s not just the Patriots. I’ll take Tampa Bay’s old helmets – even with its sissy colors — over the current ones any day. Those things look like rejects from the Euro NFL. Remember that? Rejects from the U.S. playing football in soccer stadiums?
I could go on, but with each line I feel my masculinity diminishing a little. But I’ll just conclude by saying that when I was a kid and I got those little plastic helmets from the bubble gum machine, the Patriots’s was my favorite. I dare say it made me proud to be an American, except that in reality it didn’t.
