Football or Fu'tbol

I read some shocking news via my friend EB_the Celeb's twitter page. (Check her out http://www.jonesin-eb-style.com/, she is dope) The information was startling, frightening, and near sickening. I have an extremely strong stomach, but I almost hurled. The NFL is going to use their practice jersey's to sell advertising? Are you kidding me is an understatement. WTF!

I haven't heard the term sellout in a very long while, but it's only fitting for this egregious offense. I mean the patches are cool and apart of the culture for NASCAR and for Soccer(fu'tbol) but this is American Football people, and yes it requires capital letters.

So far the only teams thinking about doing such a stupid thing are the Packers(dumb team that chose Aaron Rodgers over Brett Favre) and the Houston Texans (they've been torturing Andre Johnson for six seasons now with incompetent quarterbacks). The Packers decision surprises me, such a storied organization with such rich tradition, how could this happen. Now the Texans on the other hand are about as dependable as Ryan Leaf. I mean, ads don't belong on football jerseys even if it is just a practice jersey. To be honest, I always think to myself how cool some of those soccer jerseys would look if they lost the ads.

I'm not sure if the NFL realizes this, but people hate ads. Why do you think newspapers are going down the drain. Why are magazine's struggling. They all make their money off advertisments and ads aren't the hottest thing moving right now. DVR has also dealt the advertising industry a huge blow. I am a copywriter myself and I love advertising but for the most part many Americans don't, and I understand why they don't. The majority of ads are bad ideas that clutter up whatever medium of entertainmet a person was enjoying before the ad interrupted the moment.

To place a corporate sponsor logo on a jersey is just going to cheapen the jersey, the team, and the game.

Here is Santos Laguna, of the Mexican Soccer League, home jersey








I don't see any numbers on these jerseys(that's un-American, duh). They look like classified ads running around a soccer field. Roger Godell, please stop this madness. I am begging you. This is like the calm before the storm. They are keeping this as quiet and subtle as possible and then before you know it they will be on game jerseys.

Welcome home Mike

Michael Vick was released from federal prison today. Duh, you already know that with ESPN and everyone else and their mother covering it.

6magainze just wants to say welcome home Mr. Vick. You have paid your debt to society, and anyone else that doesn't think so can stand on their soap box complain for as long as they want, but it doesn't matter because you are free homie.

Home confinement for two months will probably suck, but compared to washing dishes for 12 cents an hour, it's probably Heaven.

As a fan of football and yours especially, I'd like to offer a few words of advice. Stay out of strip clubs please. Make nice with PETA, as we all know they are more powerful than the government. Work hard and remember the famous Paul Arden quote, "It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be." Challenges in life come to us all, and you can surely overcome this. God allows everything to happen for a reason. So keep your head up and work hard, because you will definitely reap what you sow.

Stay away from certain teams: The Oakland Raiders, although they are my favorite team, Al Davis is psycho. The Bengals, birds of a feather flock together, but you my friend are a reformed man. Also, you see how they do Mr. Johnson. The Browns, management does not run the team, the fans "boo decibel" meter does, and when they boo you enough you'll get yanked from the game. And yes, that's right, fans know everything about football and always make the right decisions. If the Detroit Lions come calling just run. There is no explanation I can give you, but to just listen to me and run away as fast as possible.

Every other team is fair game. In fact, I suggest these teams: The Denver Broncos, I have a strange feeling that Kyle Orton or Chris Simms will not cut it. Houston Texans, Matt Schaub has under-performed since signing a big money free agent deal two seasons ago. You beat him out in Atlanta, why can't you do it again? Jaguars, David Garrad is looking like a one year wonder so far. Titans, you are a lot better and right now cheaper than Vince Young and Kerry Collins. Pathers, Jake is not going to play forever. Vikings, please go the Vikings they need you bad. 49ers, Shaun Hill, Damon Huard, Alex Smith, if you can't beat either of these guys out you don't deserve to be in the league. Lastly, the Seahawks, Jim Mora was your head coach in your glory days in Atlanta, Hassleback is not going to play forever and his performance has slipped.

All in all. We are glad to have you back Mike. Hope to see you on a football field soon. Give 6magazine your first interview. We deserve it!


I love some Mike Vick,
