The Vig

From Dwight Jaynes’ column this morning:

If you’re over 21, leave the replica jerseys to the kids. Honestly, even the throwbacks look weird on adults — particularly adults with potbellies.

No can do. I’m not saving my pennies for that Mitchell and Ness Twardzik jersey just so I can display it in my bedroom.  Besides, it freaks out the ladies.  And don’t get me started on the #24 Luke Schenscher road black jersey I’ll be picking up as well..

I’m with him on the earplugs though.  The tinnitus is beginning to set in permanently and going to loud arenas doesn’t help much.  It’s a matter of time before they start piping the crowd noise into the place again.  I may look stupid walking around with protection, but it beats the heck out of being unable to hear myself think over the ringing in my ears.
