  1. That guy would probably be me. I bought a pair of game-used pants from the D&A collectibles shop after the auction a few years ago. If it isn’t black, it’s a shade of navy that is so frickin’ deep that it makes little / no difference. But to my eye, and putting it next to a black fabric and a navy fabric like the UConn logo, it definitely looks black.
  2. No, it’s there. Just the photo quality. I’m whole-heartedly in favor of removing the black trim as well. It’s completely unnecessary in these days of HD & soon enough 4K TV and it just screws with the classic red white & blue theme.
  3. Trying to foment something b/w Diggs and the team.
  4. Only way Beane is interested is to increase Gilmore’s cap hit on another team, especially if it’s the Chefs. As said, I’m not a fan of his playing style or the stink he’s made about money. The Pats* restructured his deal which gave him a massive upfront amount / signing bonus in exchange for less salary. The very next year Gilmore was whining about how his salary was so low. The worst kind of ‘what have you done for me lately’ attitude.
  5. As audio options get more advanced with ATSC 3.0 / NextGen TV and such, I really hope we’ll someday soon have the option of turning off the announcers and just listening to the sounds in the stadium & on the field.
  6. Hope it’s available for a single team’s games… and that it’s not exorbitant 💸. MLB.tv for a single team is $90 for a season according to the Google. That’s for 162 games. NFL is 20 games, including preseason. $50 would be my limit.
  7. I mean… take away all the makeup 🤡 and….
  8. I mean… maybe that’s what lights the fire under Ford’s a—. Buthim still on the roster just reeks of Beane not wanting to admit he got this wrong wrong wrong.
  9. If he adds another 5 pounds, he could compete… but it’s questionable whether his frame could handle it without slowing him down. 🐾
  10. I mean… why is everything so shifted down? A wordmark should be on the chest - pectoral area, not the stomach. Forces the numbers down to the gut regions.
  11. Well that’s a blast from the past. Was NG’s “What’s Everyone Doing Today?” one of the first incidences of the pixyland guy? I’m just assuming from the You Bastard nm replies….
  12. Imagine where the Bills would be if Beane had been able to swing the Avon Miller trade, instead of the Rams.
  13. Well, Super Bowl Sunday is statistically the day with the highest incidence of domestic violence….
  14. I dunno. A lot of people say it was great. My unpopular opinion… it ushered in an age of pop singing where many stylists emulate this kind of what I call Elmer-Fudd-sitting-on-a-blender vocalizing. Or like a record skipping on the same note for 30 seconds at a time. It has been said that if the Anthem takes longer than 45 seconds, the singer is making it about themselves and not about the song & Key’s lyrics.
  15. Hey, it’d be pretty cool to have a fellow Husky. But I dunno anything about him. The real test of a GM & scouts is to find guys in smaller programs others might overlook. We’ll see how his combine and/or pro days go. UConn football is not exactly a prominent program… although there are signs of life as Jim Mora was hired as coach a few months ago. Nice facility on campus, decent stadium down the highway a bit, but thing just haven’t fallen into place since the death of the Big East and not getting into the ACC because of Boston College.
  16. White pinstriping around the numbers and helmet logo… but not on the center stripe. The matte finish is turrible. Huge chest wordmark, and on the maroon jersey, they actually outline it with an additional stripe on top and bottom. BFBS - Black for black’s sake. On edit: And no stripes on the pants, just pajamas. It hits so many of the trash design elements. 🤦🏻‍♂️. I can’t see many fans actually buying this dreck. They’ll just wear the previous old ones.
  17. Same experience with sweet tea at a ribs place in NC. Like… I could feel all my teeth roots jittering in one instant.
  18. It’s just going to take some getting used to. At least it’s not as clunky as WFT. 🤷🏻‍♂️. There have been what look to be reliable leaks on the uni design, at least for a black jersey and possibly a black helmet. As we say in the Uni Watch FB groups, it’s “Black for black’s sake” = BFBS. I just don’t understand this fad and why it’s persisted among teams that do not have black among their team colors. Sigh.
  19. Yeah, it truly seemed like we could’ve blitzed all 11 and KC’s Oline would’ve held up for 5 seconds and Mahomes stepping around would’ve bought him another 5. People talk about pressure like it means anything in the NFL / against the elite QBs. Pressure doesn’t mean poop. Against any good team or any good QB, we never get home. Hughes is always this ][ close to getting a sack but can’t seal the deal. Wouldn’t shed any tears if Star were released and we draft a big DT early. Georgia’s Davis is likely gone by our slot but, damn that kid can do it all.
  20. This from the Uni Watch (previously a feature on SI & ESPN) FB page. Looks like someone got an aerial or drone view inside the FedEx Field rooms. So… it’s Commanders.
