MR. COLOREDWELL'S SPORTS FASHION REPORT

Another slow week in sports fashion reporting. Sunday afternoon I was checking out the Packers and the Bears. Then I left Bretz, went home and watched the Green Bay-Chicago game.

Anyhoo, no surprises in unis this week. With football season winding down, I probably should cut down on my reports. Tell you what, my next report will be right after the Super Bowl. Then I plan to have my final rankings for college and pro football.

MR. COLOREDWELL'S WEEKLY SPORTS FASHION REPORT

The good: 76ers in old school red, stylin' like Dr. J back in the day!

The bad: Saints, see what you get for wearing those black pants? You got outplayed AND outdressed. By Seattle!

The ugly: The Oregon Ducks latest abortion. Ugh. No comment.

And the just plain HUH???: The Celtics with black trim. Eeww.

Coming soon: My final college football uniform rankings for the 2010 season! (W-L standings notwithstanding)

SPOCK'S BRAIN WOULD ESPLODE

The delightfully logic-defying part of this year's Duxoop Dozen is that since 1) 1983 Rookie winners Eggs Danny Thomas Style is actually the fictional band I created that's really just me (sort of like how NIN is pretty much Trent Reznor), 2) I was a member of 2000 Rookie winners The (Convergys) Zoo, and 3) & 4) I am a member of 2003 Rookie winners the NWOPC as well as 2010 Rookie winners the Ohio/Michigan Atheists, I have now won my own Rookie Of The Year award, which is given to people or things new to me, 4 times.

MR. COLOREDWELL'S WEEKLY SPORTS FASHION REPORT

Back on schedule, thus a short week. In chrono order...

TCU, nice shiny purple pants.

Capitals, nice throwbacks. Penguins, dark blue? Huh? I have yet to see any actual penguins that color. (BTW I agree with Steve Dahl, whenever/wherever there's an outdoor hockey game, the rink should take up as much room as possible.)

Jets, all green? Not good.

Saints, all black? You guys are REALLY pissing me off. Even Tampa's pewter pants look better.

Burgundyskins, be sure to bring back those fabulous yellow pants next season!

Seahawks, what an absolute disgrace. They should not be in the playoffs. It's just wrong. And I'm not talking about their 7-9 record. I'd shoot the person who came up with "Gun Metal Blue"...if anyone could find me an actual gun that color!

Virginia Tech, orange helmets for the Orange Bowl? Clever AND cute!

Minnesota Wild, your home green unis are terrific. Your road white unis are horrific. Why such disparity in style?

MAYBE NEXT YEAR, THEY'LL USE A SUNDIAL!

Made a delivery to Sandusky Friday night, during which I stopped off in Port Clinton just in time to witness the Walleye Drop. (Got there at 11:58!) Remind me not to ever go to that again. My friend Kat and I went 6 years ago, and although the timing of the drop was crap, at least there was a clearly audible countdown. You would think 6 years later they'd improve things. Just the opposite...

This time there was no countdown to be heard, and no ticking clock in sight. Somewhere around 11:59, the walleye began to lurch from near the top of the cable downward. Somewhere around a minute later it reached an unspecified point near the bottom, and a gradual sense that it had gone as far it was going to go slowly, subtly infiltrated the crowd...so instead of a definite '3-2-1-Happy New Year!' moment, there was merely a general feeling that, okay, it's probably past midnight by now...happy new year. I guess. Um...WOOHOO!

Least satisfying ringing in of a new year I've ever experienced. Huge letdown. I wish I had just kept driving, then I would not have felt such total disappointment. (But as Kat pointed out to me, at least I was still getting paid.)


Plus, the thing is hideous...it looks more like a Snakehead!
