C’est amusant.
Something I stumbled upon while browsing youtube.
Only in France, eh? If he were in the NFL, he’d have fines to pay on account of sloppy dress code.

So the real football question from me is – are you watching the draft this weekend?
Being a Rams fan, I’m getting upset over my team’s seeming inability to make the RIGHT PICK and get DT Glen Dorsey from LSU. He’s a man-beast. My team plays like “lambs” on defense – and sacrificial ones at that.
Trust me – we’ll screw this up somehow and botch the pick.
I remember last year I was all “Patrick Willis or bust!” and he only went on to make over 100 tackles as a rookie. Prior to that I wanted Demeco Ryans (Roll Tide!!!), and he’s a pro-bowler in year 2.
It’s unreal. Can my team just please draft an SEC player? You know, they’re pretty good down there and our roster is a bit thin with them. I’m just sayin’…..that might have something to do with the whole 3-13 thing.

I don’t have cable dude. Maybe I’ll drop by a Falcons store or the men’s shoes section at a Nordstrom.

Ah, I see. Well the Falcons are probably going to wind up with Dorsey when my Rams botch the pick. he’s arguably the best player in the draft and we seem content on letting him slip to 3rd overall.
This is why my team is 3-13. Your guys at least had an excuse last year what with the whole Vick situation. My guys had no excuse, except of course for poor coaching, poor playing, poor drafting, and poor roster management. I mean, besides that the Rams were pretty good at things like collecting paychecks.

M. Vick had a trickle-down-effect. Players were brought in that were supposed to complement the QB…but before that performance could be properly showcased, well, the proverbial dung beetles were flung skywards and went splat against the ceiling tiles. ^O^
It’ll probably take a couple years before the Falcons truly turn the tide around. Table around.
I’m working my way up the football fan-geekdom totem pole. Gotta give me some time to internalize fully the creature that is the NFL Draft and encyclopedic amounts of stats.

I kid you not.
According to the Second Edition of Football for Dummies (2003), written by Howie Long and John Czarnecki, “in a high school game, you might see a player wearing a torn jersey, exposing his midriff area, or see 5 different styles or brands of shoes on 11 different players. None of this occurs in the NFL, where strictly enforced uniform codes can lead to players being fined. Here are some of the rules NFL players must follow:
The NFL shield or logo must be visible on pants, jerseys, and helmets.
Tear-away jerseys, which would make it harder for defensive players to grab and tackle their opponents on the other side of the ball, are prohibited.
All jerseys must remain tucked into uniform pants.
Stockings must cover the entire leg area from the shoe to the bottom of the pants and meet the pants below the knee. Uniform stockings may not be altered, an they must be white from the top of the shoe to about mid-calf.
Size and locations of shoe logos must be approved by NFL Properties.
Sleeves can’t be torn or cut.
All tape used on shoes or socks or pants must be transparent or of a matching color to the team uniform.
Towels can only be 8 inches long and 6 inches wide and must be tucked into the front of the waist of the pants. Quarterbacks and wide receivers often wear towels tucked into their waists to wipe their hands clean of mud and moisture (32).
So Monsieur Gaillard would definitely be breaking the “must tuck jersey in” rule.
