Speaking of Norv's FEB, he drew my attention to a post over at Deadspin that featured a fine pic of Chris Cooley. We've been having an ongoing debate about the need for reemergence of short shorts in sports. I miss the days when short shorts were cool in the NBA. Nothing like seeing 10 guys running up and down the court in those things. Not Larry Bird so much- he was nothing to look at, though he was a great player- but someone like Magic or Kareem. Much better. Brad makes a point from the straight male perspective: "No way I'm watching Shaq run down the court with shorts barely covering...well you know." Yeah, I can't see Shaq in the little shorts either. But I definitely think they're necessary. The ultra-long baggy shorts are ridiculous. Every year they get bigger, longer, and baggier. What's the point? Might as well wear pants. Give me the little shorts any day.
I really hope this comment from Phil is true, because it's hysterical. I suspect it is:
I was once caught urinating on RFK stadium the night before a Falcons/Redskins playoff game (91?).We were passing through DC to NYC and stopped, hoping it would be a good omen for the Falcons.A voice came over the PA system saying "I seeeeee yooooouu...." - we high-tailed it out of there, and of course, lost the next day.

Firstly, SportsChick of DC, you are the greatest. Thank you for bringing attention to this pressing matter. Secondly, this is a real issue about classiness. Magnum PI sported booty shorts, Magnum PI was classy.
Also: why don't football coaches wear suits anymore? That sucks. I blame zubazz for upsetting the balance. If you allow something as bizarre and perverse as zubazz on the sidelines than you're whole sideline dress code is toast. Thanks 1993. What an awkward time to be alive.
I meant "your," I got excited.
Mike Nolan actually petitioned the league to let him wear a suit on the sidelines, but was rejected. God forbid anybody associated with the team wear anything other than Licensed NFL Apparel.
Dan Reeves and Mike Dikta, both Landry disciples, were the last suit n' tie holdouts and they had to be grandfathered in. I know Reeves had given up by the time he was in Atlanta and I don't know how Ditka dressed when he was with the Saints.
It is 100% true, DCSC.
I was in college and we were driving from ATL to NYC for New Year's Eve, with a stop in Baltimore.
Before we got to Baltimore, one of the the guys I was with said, "wanna piss on RFK?" "Sure!!" we replied. Of course all of us not driving were drunk so we needed to stop anyway.
Glanville was taking his "Red Gun" offense to RFK the next day for a wildcard playoff game.
So as I'm whizzing on RFK I hear "I seeee yooooouuuuuuu" over the PA outside the stadium.
It didn't work, as we lost.
Heh, heh, heh... and how....
I think I ended with about a half dozen seat cushions from that game.
LMFAO @ phil's story...
Do you think we can get Zimm to wear short shorts? ;)
