Well Good for You Nick

How would you feel if you got this in the mail? Okay ignore the part about becoming an Alabama recruit. I feel like if I were trying to decide between schools, and I got this arrogant letter. I’ll pass Nick. Or maybe I’ll say yes, then leave and disappoint a team?

Inside Report: Pretty hilarious article that shows what would happen if certain college football rivals switched hair…The Battle of the Unis has now moved into the semis…Found one last version of gloves that Wisconsin football will wear next season…Johnny Manziel threw out the first pitch for the Padres last night, and he got a personalized jersey to throw the pitch. On the sleeve, they added the Heisman Trophy, pretty sweet.

 

Cute or Nauseating?

 

I gotta admit, I think Chris “Birdman” Anderson might be one of the most terrifying/ugliest person on the planet. I’m okay with tattoos, but come on dude. So when I first saw the picture above, I sighed and kept scrolling. But then I saw it again and realized that the kid is kinda cute dressed up as Birdman. But it’s definitely still a little scary.

I agree with most, but there are some sweet unis in there…ESPN released the new look of the SportsCenter set coming in 2014 and it is a doozy. It’s massive and has 5 sets in one! Pretty sweet…Hey guess what!…Another Cincinnati hat, that’s what!

 

Phil Jackson > You

Boy it must be nice to be Phil Jackson. Pictured above are the 13 rings he has one during his career. Unbelievable. I can’t even imagine what to do with 13 huge rings like that. I thought having one ring was sweet.

Inside Report: Alabama football has received their rings for winning the National Championship last year…The Twins and Brewers showed off their throwback uniforms they will be wearing May 30th…Is your interest in Cincinnati hats getting a bit cold?

Stuck in the Past

In the middle of the “Sacramento moving to Seattle” fiasco, here’s Kevin Durant wearing a Seattle Supersonics hat pregame. Pretty interesting and gutsy.

Inside Report: The Mavericks are offering a chance to design a new uniform for them. The most interesting part of the offer, is that they make not even pick a winner. Weird…The Jaguars said they weren’t going to use the new helmets until preseason camp, but the rookies were wearing the new lids yesterday…I know we haven’t updated this in a while, but I found another new Cincinnati hat!

Throwbacks for Mom

 

Yesterday, of course, was Mother’s Day. If I’m just breaking the news to you, well, have fun at dinner tonight. I hope all the moms, and especially my mom, had a great Mother’s Day. With Mother’s Day comes pink gear. Here’s a few of the pink items: Obviously, as you can see above, the MLB had pink bats. Normally, lots of companies create pink bats, but not this year. Wow…The bases had a pink tag on the side…The MLB also had pink cleats, including Adidas and Under Armour…If you have pink shoes, then you gotta have pink gloves!…I assume everyone used them, but I only know the White Sox for sure had pink lineup cards…Everyone had a pink ribbon on their jersey…There was also the usual sweatbands, but since pitchers can’t wear sweatbands, they wore pink necklaces…Bryce Harper went alllll out pink.

 

Inside Report: West Virginia debuted their camo jerseys this weekend. Whoa…Deadspin released an infographic detailing the highest paid public employee, and almost all are college coaches…Andy Reid had a house sale this weekend, and it included his 5XL shorts. Damn…Had enough Cincinnati sideline caps? That’s what I thought!Sully sent in a picture of the Bills installing the headset into the rookie QB helmets and UCF baseball putting the numbers of their seniors around home plate.

What a Babe

 

Maxim included Manti Te’o's girlfriend in their annual “Maxim’s Hottest List”. Pretty great choice, seeing as I probably wouldn’t know 90 of the 100.

 

Inside Report: MLB will be using pink stitched baseballs this year for Mother’s Day…This might be the worst Ohio State shirt I’ve ever seen. You have “The” in front of your school name. WE GET IT. Guess what? Every single college has that, so please just stop…Notre Dame has added the ACC wordmark to their basketball court…Sully sent in a few more items today: Another Cincinnati sideline hat, but with impact camo. Uh oh…The gold chrome helmets for Baylor arrived yesterday.

 

Poor LeBron

 

That picture above is from the Edens Expressway, which actually runs right by my house. This was put up on Tuesday after the Bulls beat the Heat in game 1. On Wednesday, they (luckily) switched it to just a regular “Go Bulls”. But did you notice Nate Robinson? Hilarious.

 

Another uniform update, this time from UCF. They didn’t change much with their jerseys, but they added a black jersey. They also added a black helmet, but the gold will be more like the gold on the helmet on the right. A couple more pictures here.
