Guest post COW: Jama jumps into the fray

Jama has a lot to say about quite a great many things. But as a penalty for being late with his entry, he is sharing this space with Paul Paulos, who sent in the picture you see with the following information: “On a fishing outing near Helen Lake in the Wind River Range off Wyoming, I stopped to fish and get out of the car for awhile. What cracked me up later when I developed the film was how my daughter was pantomiming my fishing motions. Must have helped since I caught a ton of brookies.” OK, now on to Jama:
I’m a little disappointed that I don’t have a better topic to cover while losing my COW flower but here goes nothing. I’m sure most of you are now sick of hearing about the Dwight Howard Superman dunk and whether or not it was actually a dunk (It wasn’t). That being said the All Star weekend was pretty successful overall. The main problem I had with the festivities was in the game itself. Who came up with those uniforms that were being used?
While watching the game last night I thought I was watching 4 different teams on the floor. The gold team was playing the blue team, which was playing the white team, which was playing against the cream team. (Yeah I think that was a cream color). I’m sure they looked great on the runway or wherever they showed them off but they didn’t work on the floor. I know this is all about selling these jersey’s but can’t they just stick with the red vs. blue?
What do you think is the worst, current uniform/jersey in pro sports today?
My choices, by sport:
Football: Broncos
Baseball: Pirates
Basketball: Spurs
Hockey: Coyotes
Check out this hockey uniform from back in the day. Easily the worst of all time
I also just completed my first Fantasy Baseball Draft, Thank You President’s Day, which means that baseball is around the corner. It sounds like people are having too much fun in Spring Training.

Sorry Jama for jumping in with my fishing pict though it was a beautiful day, it surely was, and sorry that horrid as the Bronco uniform surely is but the Vikes home uniform takes the cake. I don’t want to beat a dead horse especially one that doesn’t ever make it to the Big Corral, but purple just isn’t a football color. Big fat men in purple…it just doesn’t work for me. Just my opinion, but it looks good on the cheerleaders…
That can’t be P3. He’s not wearing green, gold, or the #4. I declare shenanigans.
“The Paulos family’s attempt to raise the Edmund Fitzgerald with one fishing pole and the power of imaginination proved unsuccessful.”
+1 Stu
P3, I agree that the Vikings are up there on the list. You could argue that all the local teams except the Twins could be on the list for worst uni’s in their sport.
I think Randball just sent me to my room without dinner. Sharing a COW with P3?
Thank you Sir may I have another!
P3, were you pants-less? Or is it flesh-colored biker shorts? Cute offspring, though.
Speaking of spring training, I am not a huge MLB fan (at least until October), but I do think it would be fun to catch a Cactus League game in the sunny outdoors while I live in close proximity. Can any of you die-hards tell me what might be an entertaining match-up?
jama - Evidently you and I are the only ones upset by this. Howard’s first dunk was pretty solid. Not sure it warranted a 50 though. More like a 48. Second “dunk” wasn’t a dunk. He threw the ball in. All he did was jump high and wear a cape. Then Kenny Smith started singing the Indiana Jones song after verbally felating him. What a joke. Evidently a cape is worth 50 points in the dunk contest.
jama - It’s okay. You were great. Your first time is always bad. It happens to everyone.
Ouch!!!
My ego was just dropped a notch or two. At least I can partially blame this on P3 even though it wasn’t his fault at all.
Jama, two solid topics..dunks and uniforms, both well done. 2 for 2. Can’t do better…and Az, right click the fishing pict then “save pict as” to wherever you want (if you are strong of heart !!). They’re just running shorts, but my companion said the legs are awesome (and who am I to argue)…
I apologize in advance but in that picture it sure looks like the little tyke is doing something other than: “pantomiming my fishing motions.”
I guess the photographer just happened to be at a poor angle.
I don’t have a clue myself, but every time I spun the reel’s handle, she did some spastic thing herself. Funny as hell to see…kept repeating it. Partly funny since she hates fishing. But now that you mention it when I blow it up myself, it looks more like she’s winding yarn or something…
Since I’m guessing it’s your daughter I’ll stick with “or something…”
My daughter that be the truth ..perty girl she is. Lucky she doesn’t look too much like me (and don’t go anywhere with that !!) but check out the muscles on that boy….steroids. I admit it. No shame in my game..
My worst uniforms:
NFL: All the Hip-Hoppy uni’s (i.e Bengals, Falcons)
MLB: Tampa Bay Rays/Devil Rays
NBA: Who cares, they will just change in a couple of years anyway. They have to go after that lucrative thug demographic you know.
NHL: Those old Canucks sweaters look a heck of lot better than most now. Especially the red and green Christmas uniforms the Wild wear. I wonder whose wife designed those.
I could go on and on about the pro uniforms because I think they are an important fabric of sports, no pun intended. Now days it seems that all the uniforms are black, dark, or morose colors which unfortunatley relect the times. I harken back to the days we had some color to look at, how could you forget those Creamsicle Tampa Bay Buc uniforms? It was beatiful art watching Earl Campbell romping in those light blue jerseys of Houston Oiler’s past. What about Steve Grogan or Steve Bartkowski wearing red jersey’s?
I remeber when the White Sox had red, white, and blue uniforms, and all teams wore gray on the road. These so called “alternate” jerseys are just a way to rip off the fans. I refuse to fall for that baloney.
Thank you RandBall for letting me get that off my chest.
RandBall, I have a question for you. Which logo/s, professional or college, do you think is/are the ugliest?
I can’t stand this cyber swoosh stuff that they do nowdays. Like the Broncos, Panthers, Pats, Jags of the NFL.
I could go on and on about that too, but I won’t bore you.
Thank you.
P3,
I assume you were using a barbless hook, right?
Actually I was. Are you a true sportsmen as well ? Truth is even around here I go barbless (except for my barbs in these posts) since I don’t even like most fish except walleye and trout, yet I fish musky and bass almost exclusively. Go figure..
Is that a dew rag and short shorts? Yikes! Please tell me that picture was taken in 1986!
Just kidding, I can’t knock a guy fishing with his little girl in WRR. February in MN makes pictures like that very welcome.
As for uniforms, the old Twins lt. blue with dark pants remind me of kids pajamas. The new ones are much better.
Bandana..I have dozens since I am (slightly) becoming follicularly challenged 
I think the worst current jersey in MLB is the Diamondbacks… Because it says D-Backs on it. Could it be ANY closer to D-Bags? Not really…
Straight, I just got back from a few errands, but before I left I saw your line about D….. bags. Well one of those stops was Walgreens, and guess what product grabbed my eye ? Of course, I needed to run screaming from the store being weirded out about such apparatus…
