Waleo32 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Can somebody, anybody, decipher this for an Aussie? I think it has something to do with the socks that CP and ST wore. Joey T did mention them and said they were likely to be fined.I sure hope you aint studying for English. Stop hating he's just speaking in slang. He's speaking in an urban dialect. That's how I talk as well. He just put our dialect on the board. There's always someone quick to bash someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmania123 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 No Waleo34 no one bashing you and your "urban dialect." Honestly, I did not understand anything written by Alldaz, except that maybe ST's and Portis socks may get them fined. You have the right to write anyway you wish. And I have a right to say I do not understand what you wrote. Ahhhh freedom!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Glad someone made the point that bad English really hurts the eyes; man that thread was painful. But it was an interesting post just hard to read. Even though I understand coordinated adverbs, or what some refer to as transitional expressions, I tend to write with concise sentences that will encourage a good read. But that's okay it was still a good post just not gramatically sound. I'm really glad we won. Now we just need to beat Tampa Bay and set the conditions for a good run at the playoffs. As I said at the begining of training camp 13-3 and Joe Theisman came behind me and predicted the same; but boy it's getting tight. Speaking of grammar here's a little trivia: With Joe Theisman's name really pronounced as Theesman, why is it pronounced Thighsman ? because he's an arrogant bastige and wanted his name to rhyme w/ HEISMAN when he THOUGHT he was going to win it. funny that he didn't win the award.

gridironmike Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/051107 Socks and the 'Skins By Paul Lukas Special to Page 2 You think Sean Taylor and Clinton Portis are Uni Watch readers? You might think so after seeing the sock shenanigans they unveiled Sunday night against the Eagles. While the rest of the Redskins were wearing their usual basic white socks, Taylor went candy-striped (à la Randy Moss at Marshall) and Portis wore solid burgundy on one leg and stripes on the other (à la, um, probably nothing recorded in history). Uni Watch's strong preference for striped hosiery is well-documented, so it's tempting to applaud this lower-leg freestyling. Ah, but what about team uniformity? What about not placing oneself above one's teammates? After all, there's no "I" in "sock" (or even in "totally cool sock that looks way better than anyone else's on the whole team"). Do stripes make right? Such a quandary -- oh, cruel fate, why do you torment Uni Watch so? Let's table that question for a moment and instead address the matter of how Portis and Taylor created their stripes. Uni Watch initially thought Portis was wearing one of the excellent throwback socks that the 'Skins wore in 2002 (here's the original version), but a closer look shows this is clearly not the case. Did he use striped wristbands? Colored tape? And what about Taylor -- was he wearing multiple sets of the standard white socks? (Teammate Ryan Clark clearly was, although Uni Watch doesn't think he intended for multiple stripes to show -- the outer socks were just drooping down.) Uni Watch's Monday-morning deadline left no time to investigate the specifics, but expect a follow-up on this. Expect Portis and Taylor to be fined, too -- and not for the first time. They incurred the NFL's wrath last season, to the tune of $5,000 apiece, after Week 13 of last season, when they wore burgundy socks, instead of white, against the Giants. The following week, all the 'Skins wore burgundy, creating the dreaded leotard effect, but Portis and Taylor went a step further by going without lower whites, resulting in $10,000 fines. Portis was up to his old tricks again in Week 4 of this season, when he wore black shoes, instead of the team's usual white, against the Seahawks (although Uni Watch didn't hear anything about a fine for that one). And he was wearing black shoes again on Sunday night, but that was overshadowed by the sock situation. In fact, just about everything was overshadowed when Portis' hose were in view. Indeed, as several readers pointed out while the game was still in progress, this marks the second straight weekend that asymmetry has reared its ugly head on the gridiron: First came the loathsome mismatched sleeves that Virginia Tech and Florida wore two weekends ago (the Hokies wore them again this past Saturday, incidentally), and now we've got Portis and his mismatched socks. Is Vegas laying odds yet on whether he'll wear one white shoe and one black shoe next Sunday? But although Portis' fashion statement went too far, Uni Watch thinks Taylor's went just far enough. Face it: Hoop socks rule, and we could do much, much worse than to see more of this look in the NFL. With that in mind, Uni Watch hereby makes the following offer: If Taylor can get the rest of the team to go candy-striped next Sunday, Uni Watch will pay his fine from Sunday night. Think he can do it? Stay tuned. (With extra-big thanks to C.J. Fogler and Craig Sallinger for the Sean Taylor screen-grabs.) Paul Lukas has never incurred a fine for his clothing choices.
