George Is Getting Upset!

the don has link on his glove tape…what’s up with that?

/where’s my royalties?

“Super Flyweight” — The newish names for the tweener weight divisions in boxing like this one crack me up. (I think the IBF still calls it “Junior Bantamweight”.)

OK, “Super Welterweight” does sound more imposing than “Junior Middleweight” but “Super Flyweight?” Please.

Scott County, TN High School football team added crosses and black tapes to their helmets last night in honor of four cheerleaders killed in car wreck last weekend.

im just curious…

does anyone else have “google ads” on their page…specifically, ones for like xanax, vics and oxy?

wtf?

In Thursdays comments, someone mentioned that the Hockey News had come out with a special edition issue called the “Greatest Masks of All-Time.”

Well, I picked it up yesterday, and it was seriously worth the eight bucks. I thought it would just show what they thought were the best masks, but it actually goes into the history of the mask, the cross over with baseball catcher’s mask, how masks are made, etc…Highly recommended.

im kinda hoping maybe tomorrow bry will feature link…texas tech’s link link link…particularly if da raidahs hook the horns tonight

i thought he was scary…but not as scary as this former link…who hung up his pads and is now giving back to our youth as a teacher…well done sir

Yeah, I’ve got ’em. I particularly like one for a “Luxury Rehab Locator.” What in the Google database caused the system to decide that Uni Watchers are in need pain relievers, antidepressants, and rehab to beat the addiction to said pain relievers and antidepressants?

I’ve got them too. Truthfully, I just got used to ignoring them. It seems so many pages have random ad links, that I’ve grown accustomed to them. Half the time, I don’t even notice them unless I make a point to.

I can imagine, with the current economy/healthcare crisis, that the pain pill sites get a bunch of hits. Who knows about legality and legitimacy though.

When I played football in college, I had some joker on another team who tried to do the John Randle look. Our entire team laughed at him for the entire first half. We made it a point to destroy that guy (a TE) every chance we got. After halftime the make-up was gone.

yeah…i knew that, but i always thought they were like little initials or something…even a name…but i never seen a name THAT big before…is that something new in the fight game, or is this like a abberation?[/quote]

They can pretty much sign it however they want, a lot of guys will actually use a signature. The only one like that that I can think of is a former boxer named Vinny Pazienza, if he does the tape he’ll write PAZ in huge letters.

Boxing is passe’, barbaric, and corrupt. It’s time has come and gone. Pass.

Sorry. There’s probably about three people in the world who’d get that one and I doubt that any of them will read this.

A one-beer hangover is possible. What kind of beer was it? Pretty much any Miller product will do that to me on occasion. I think I’m allergic to something they use in their brewing process.

I kind of understand why the first part of the last name is an initial, but I really don’t get why the initial of his first name is there.

I just saw the Cal-Oregon highlights. I applaud the Ducks. Dare I say they looked downright classy today? The all-white look was nice. And I don’t just mean they looked good compared to Cal’s eyesores. They actually looked good.

That game had some serious retinal damage potential.

[quote comment=”297755″]I’m watching the Oregon-Cal game on ESPN360 and, wow. Cal’s gold jerseys are a completely different shade of their gold pants. I agree, JTH, Oregon definitely looks classy today.[/quote]
I guess I shouldn’t have used the past tense in my previous post. I guess the Ducks can still do something like switch to the yellow pants and helmets at halftime

Kibmo Slice is one ugly mofo… and he’s overrated.

remember the rumor, i think it was reported on either MBTN or another met fan site…about the mets having a dark gray away jersey, with “Mets” in script, and blue and orange piping???

well…i was in the sports authority and there was one exactly as described…for $80, made by majestic (no name or number on back)…looked to be authentic otherwise, not a replica…i attempted to take a pic with my cell, but im like technologically retarded so it didn’t come out

so…maybe that is where the rumor (since squashed by mr. lukas) was being fueled

having said this…it was pretty sweet looking, much better than the black mess they break out now…and i could certainly live with it if they were to replace the current roadies with it…it was VERY dark gray, however, almost charcoal, so i can’t imagine they’d have matching pants, and what the hell would be the point of introducing a dark gray alt?

food for thought (if i get back there, i’ll try to get decent pic)

YUP…picture doesn’t do it justice, but that’s it

I have the the Texas Tech/UT game on in the background. I glanced at the screen when Tech was around the 30-yard line and nearly had a seizure. With the stadium name, the Big XII logo, the sharp contrast between paint and FieldTurf, the Bottom Line below, the info bar above, and the monochrome black and white unis flying around it was nearly impossible to watch.

At least it improved some when they got to an more open area of the field.

Texas’s TE has a Riddell Revolution Speed on.

Does Michael Crabtree and the rest of Texas Tech get away without having mouthguards? Also, I notice he never has his chin strap buckled, isn’t this a fine in the nfl?

[quote comment=”297767″]oh…and the ad says (and now i concur) that it is a replica, not an authentic (i spose for 80 bucks, how could it be)[/quote]
If you do a search on “charcoal fashion jersey” it looks like they make those for just about all the teams. The Mets version appears to be about the best of the bunch. I saw a few others that looked OK (Cardinals, White Sox, Tigers, Yankees, Mariners) but the colors don’t really pop the way the royal blue & orange do. Some looked flat-out horrible (Cubs, Red Sox, Angels).

Although you said in your other post that the picture doesn’t do it justice, so maybe they all look pretty decent up close.

[quote comment=”297773″][quote comment=”297771″]trust me, Tech has worse looks than that. The black monochrome may be one of their best looks[/quote]

Yea, I mean… I don’t hate it. It’s actually growing on me. I’m a fan of UA products (more than their unis), and I think the all-black TT jersey represents their product line well. I also know that this uni combo will resonate with the younger crowd (potential recruits?). They love black, black & red, and UA.[/quote]

I’ll say this: Texas Tech would look a lot better without that red bullshit pattern they have on their unis. I’m not one for monochrome, but the solid black with solid black helmets and whatnot does look okay. But if they choose to do the solid black, I would prefer it without the UA red trim.

In terms of jersey/pant combos, the only looks we’ve yet to see are white over blue and gold over white.[/quote]

Cal needs to go to their Royal and Gold seventies throwbacks full time. The clawmark side stripes on the current unis are terrible.

If you’re the RED Raiders, shouldn’t RED be your primary color? This is the kind of thing I would expect from Aggies…
