I always love the perfectly matching tie/pocket square combos. Brings a smile to my face every time. Pouring one out for Dan Reeves. He was not my style, but he always looked good.

Yeah. I didn't know they had implemented such a rule. It's all about the benjamins, baby. Gone are the Reeves, Landry, Stallings days I remember as a kid. Meanwhile, the commentators attempt to dress to the nines. From what I have seen, few do it well. Aikman does well. Buck is okay. Sometimes Cowher gets it right. The rest I can think of look terrible.

Some of it I suppose is cultural. One of my roomies in college, a black football player, explained that a good looking suit is one thing in my circles and entirely different in his community. The athlete subculture being heavily influenced by african american and "urban" styles. It's laughably showy and has odd proportions. Plus, suits and other business dress look best on slimmer guys.

The trainwreck fashions are my favorite by product of sports.

Moose is lucky, he has a neck.

I'm looking for a good picture, but did anyone see Ray Lewis channeling Minister Farrakhan on ESPN the other day?

Unfortunately, and whether you think it is good or bad, the vast majority of these men are dressed by someone else. 

Which begs the question, Is it better to dress yourself badly or be dressed well by someone else?

Notice how all these types wear pocketsquares these days. l often wonder whether the stylists picked up clues from igents posting on AAAC and S.F. l fully believe the clothing forums brought back the pocketsquare.

Put simply, begging the question is a logical fallacy that has nothing to do with the concept of one answer leading to further inquiry.

However, it has become an idiom that most people will understand as exactly that concept.

I am much more concerned about the loss of the word "peruse" to its opposite meaning.

These guys look like clowns.  Why the big knots?  Is that some new thing?  They need some Nehru jackets.  That might be the thing next year.  Nehru jackets with 7 buttons.  Shiny pinstriped Nehru jackets with 7 buttons.

The big knot was very popular a few years ago. I see less of it now. Apparently, it has stuck with the jocks and their handlers.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.
