Prediction: Pennington Will Have a Better Season Than Favre or Rodgers
Witih Brett Favre’s situation finally resolved, Roger Goodell decided it was OK for the world to start spinning again. Among other edicts (like finally allowing NFL employees to go to the bathroom instead of watching the non-stop Brett coverage on that TV station I work for), he came down from the mountaintop with two tablets that read, “OK, you can start the preseason now (not that anyone really cares, but it’s a fun way to bilk some extra change from our season ticket holders).” And so it came to pass that several teams descended upon that gridiron last night.
As you know, this is shaping up as a quiet season uni-wise, but I spotted a few noteworthy items in last night’s action:
Good to see the Bears are still using that horizontal yoke darting. (If you’re not familiar with it, look here for further details.)
Sure enough, the logo-emblazoned green helmet dot just looks dirty or smudgy when viewed from a distance. Doesn’t look so great up close either. Lame. (I couldn’t find a photo of a defensive helmet dot — anyone..?)
Here are our first in-game views of the Lions’ 75th-season patch. Can’t stand how much black it adds to the proceedings. Kinda big too, no?
Man, those viagra bestellen new black stripes on the officials’ pants sure are heavy.
Didn’t watch this game, but it sure looks like it was easy on the eyes. Very nice.
You don’t need to hate purple as much as I do to be alarmed by this.
His future looks, uh, bright.
And finally, although it didn’t take place on the field, take a look at this shot. As several commenters noted last night, the two microphones show two different versions of the NFL Network logo.
Whitewash: Reader Tim Brulia has undertaken a Herculean research project: He and some friends have documented every single instance of NFL teams wearing white at home since 1957. He’s offered this database to me, and I’ve uploaded it onto this page — enjoy.
Olympix Outreach: I will not be near a TV set tonight or during the weekend, so I’ll miss all the bullshit the opening ceremonies and the several days’ worth of competition. Won’t be near a computer either, so I won’t be able to check in on the comments to see what you folks are noticing over the weekend. I am interested in compiling a record of what’s going on in Beijing, however. So if you see anything noteworthy over the next few days, don’t assume that I’m watching it too — instead, send me an e-mail with “Olympics” in the subject line. I’ll start sifting through the material once I get back to civilization on Sunday night.
Raffle Reminder: Today’s the last day for the SoccerPro.com $100 gift card raffle. If you haven’t done so already, you can enter by sending a blank e-mail with your name in the subject line to the raffle address (not to the usual Uni Watch e-mail address, please) by 10pm eastern tonight.
