  1. Man, I like that updated look. Nicely done. But, we really, really, really need to bring back the gold pants! Match it up with this helmet, winner-winner, chicken dinner!
  2. Just got my first e-mail from a gloating Cowboys fans. Man, I hate that team!
  3. First thing's first. Could someone please tell Mr. Blatche that it's okay to go inside the paint, and he doesn't need to settle for jumpers?
  4. Why is everyone so concerned about the Redskins' uniforms? This team has tons more problems than its wardrobe. Who cares?
  5. White-on-white looks too much like "practice" uniforms. If you really want a change THAT badly, go to the throwbacks, which I thought looked sweet.
  6. I hope the Eagles wear theirs Sunday so I can get a good laugh. Meantime, I wouldn't mind seeing us adopt the throwbacks permanently. I kinda like them!
  7. They didn't wear "dark red pants" with the arrow helmet. They wore a pants similar to what was worn on Sunday, which, for the record, I liked.
  8. Nasty is right! :doh: Just say, "no," to monochrome schemes. Think of the Seattle Seahawks! :doh: :doh:
  9. I'm sorry, but I thought those uniforms looked cool. It was different than what we've been wearing for almost 30 years and I just thought they were a real nice touch. I especially liked the helmet. Frankly, it wouldn't kill me to see us go with them full time.
  10. I'm willing to be that, if the throwbacks turn into a rousing success and the Redskins decide to wear them more than once, I can see th team adopting them full time for the years to come.
  11. They wore them from '74 to '81. I remember them vividly because I remember them when they played the Bullets in a playoff series.
  12. Oh, they're not THAT bad. If any sports franchise's uniforms should remind you of the above, you should think back to the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, circa 1977.
  13. If it works out, I'm hoping they'll adopt them full time. I think it's time for a change and this would be a good one.
  14. Um, no! Take a look at what the Seattle Blue Men Group, I mean, Seahawks do for their home games and that will be enough to change your mind.
  15. I was under the impression they were going to wear them yesterday. I was surprised, and somewhat disappointed, that they didn't.
  16. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/08/30/wrestlers/index.html Since last summer, Sports Illustrated reporters Luis Fernando Llosa and L. Jon Wertheim have been investigating an illegal steroid distribution network that has implicated pro athletes. On Feb. 27, the reporters accompanied federal and state drug enforcement agents on a coordinated raid of an Orlando compound pharmacy and a Jupiter, Fla., "anti-aging" clinic that investigators allege conspired to fraudulently prescribe steroids, human growth hormone and other performance enhancing drugs over the Internet. With its rare confluence of hot button topics -- sports, kids, death, and drugs -- the double-murder, suicide case involving pro wrestler Chris Benoit and his family made for a cause celebre last summer. When the news cycle passed and the media turned its attention to a corrupt NBA referee and an NFL quarterback financing a dogfighting ring, investigators continued to explore the pipeline that enabled professional athletes to obtain steroids and human growth hormone through a chain of compound pharmacies, "anti-aging" clinics and venal doctors who often rubber-stamped prescriptions, sometimes without treating their "patients." As the WWE is embattled by charges that its wrestlers die early and unexpectedly with alarming frequency, it must now counter evidence that the culture is awash in illicit drug use. That cause wasn't helped on Thursday, when, based on information provided to the WWE by the Albany District Attorney's office, the organization suspended 10 wrestlers for violating the company's drug policy. While the WWE declined to release the names of the suspended athletes, SI has learned that a dozen professional wrestlers have received steroids and/or human growth hormone through the drug network. The WWE would not confirm which, if any, of the following wrestlers are among those suspended: • Benoit, who died June 24, 2007, received nandrolone and anastrozole in February 2006. (Anastrozole is used by athletes to counter side effects of steroid use, such as water retention and breast enlargement.) • Two weeks prior to Eddie Guerrero's death on Nov. 13, 2005, he was sent nandrolone, testosterone, and anastrozole. Guerrero died in a Minneapolis hotel room due to what a coroner later ruled as heart disease, complicated by an enlarged heart resulting from a history of anabolic steroid use. • Chavo Guerrero, who found his uncle Eddie dead in the Minneapolis hotel room, received, among other drugs, somatropin (HGH), nandrolone and anastrozole between April 2005 and May 2006. • Between November 2003 and February 2007, Shane Helms, a/k/a The Hurricane, received, among other drugs, testosterone, genotropin (HGH) and nandrolone. (As previously reported by SI, he allegedly received HGH from an Arizona doctor in 2005.) • Starting in September 2004 through February 2007, Randy Orton received somatropin, nandrolone, stanozolol. • John Hennigan, a/k/a Johnny Nitro, a.k.a. Johnny Morrison, is the current WWE Extreme Championship Wrestling's heavyweight champion. Between June 2006 and February 2007 he was prescribed somatropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone produced naturally during pregnancy. (HCG is taken by anabolic steroid users to stimulate the production of testosterone, which is suppressed as a result of steroid use.) • Ken Anderson, a/k/a Mr. Kennedy, lost to Eddie Guerrero in Guerrero's final match on Nov. 11, 2005. Kennedy received shipments of anastrozole, somatropin and testosterone between October 2006 and February 2007. • Shoichi Funaki received somatropin in March 2006. • Brian Adams, a/k/a Crush, who retired from the pro circuit in 2001, was found dead of unknown causes on Aug. 13. He received nandrolone, testosterone and Somatropin or HGH in December 2006. • Charles Haas was prescribed anastrozole, somatropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin between August 2006 and January 2007. • Edward Fatu received somatropin between July and December 2006. • Between November 2004 and November 2006, Darren Matthews received stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin, and anastrozole. • Adam Copeland, a/k/a Edge, received somatropin, genotropin (both HGH), and stanozolol between September 2004 and February 2007. • Sylvain Grenier received somatropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol, starting in February 2005 through July 2006. Through WWE spokesman Gary Davis, the applicable WWE wrestlers listed above declined comment. In the wake of Eddie Guerrero's steroid-related death, the WWE instituted a "Talent Wellness Program" in February 2006. The policy "prohibits the use of performance-enhancing drugs, as well as other prescription drugs which can be abused, if taken for other than a legitimate medical purpose pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician. For purposes of WWE's policy, prescriptions obtained over the Internet and/or from suppliers of prescription drugs from the Internet are not considered to have been given for a legitimate medical purpose." Under the Talent Wellness Program, an initial positive test triggers to a 30-day suspension and a second positive leads to a 60-day suspension. A third positive yields a termination. After Benoit's death, Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) contacted the WWE requesting more information on the Talent Wellness Program. In addition to the rash of recent wrestler deaths, Congress has expressed concerned that the WWE counts more than more 500,000 kids among its weekly viewership.
  17. http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/7119462 TAMPA, FLA. (AP) - Former pro wrestling champion Brian "Crush" Adams died Monday after he was found unconscious in his home. He was 44. He showed no visible signs of injury and foul play was not suspected, police spokeswoman Janelle McGregor said. Authorities were awaiting autopsy results from the medical examiner before proceeding with their investigation. Adams' wife, who was not identified, found her husband not breathing and called 911 about 11 a.m. Fire Rescue workers later pronounced him dead, McGregor said. Adams, a former world tag team champion, last performed for the World Wrestling Federation in 2001 and served intermittently on the roster beginning in 1990, World Wrestling Entertainment said. WWE spokesman George Cabico had no further comment. Adams death comes less than two months after pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and son before hanging himself on the cable of a weight machine in his Georgia home. Prescription anabolic steroids were found in the family's home, raising questions about whether the drugs played a role in the killings.
  18. Man, that Czabe is always so on top of things. What would we do without him?
  19. My friends, there may be a better way. While they probably can't put together anything with the 75th anniversary patch, I think you'll get something to your liking at the link below. Let me just say that I ordered TWO authentic throwbacks, and they only cost me $175. http://www.classactapparel.com/
