Where are the pink uniforms?
Time for the MSM to return to the red = dems standard on election maps.
LOL! That is exactly what I thought when I read this!
Did you guys draft for defense?
This finally validates my red underwear!
Don't get me started K.C.!....I hope the Raiders kick your rearendo!...(I go back as far as those Hank Stram/John Madden blood sport games)....
Unless you can pay $200,000,000 for pitchers like the Fawgin' Yankmees.
Reggie White of the Memphis Showboats:
Trust me, in real life the uniforms were pink-ish.
Wearing "Red" has done squat for the likes of the Washington Redskins, the Chicago Blackhawks and the KC Chiefs and IIRC the 49ers wear red too and they're not exactly a powerhouse of late. And the new Washington Nationals wear red and they suck.
In the animal world, the last I looked lions and hyenas aren't "red" and no other animal screws with either. Then we have the tiger, both Siberian and Bengal variety and they aren't "red". Then there's the BLACK Mamba and Anaconda and they aren't red., etc, etc, etc...
If I paid for this 'study' I want a refund. There's no cause and effect here. 'They' might as well have said that all athletes won, or the toughest animals were all born on days with with a 'y'.
Yep. Big time.
The Chiefs picked LB Derrick Johnson in the first round. He was a monster in college and looks like he will be one in the NFL.
They also picked up Pat Surtain (CB), Sammy Knight (S) and Kendrell Bell (LB) in free agency (they also picked up a good DE from Tennessee but I can't recall his name right now).
KC looks to be loaded for bear on D this year.
Ditto.
Man, that was football. Buck Buchanan, Ben Davidson, Marv Hubbard, Curly Culp, Willie Lanier, Art Shell, Bobby Bell--those guys didn't take any crap off of anyone.
If those games were played now, half the team and the coaches would be facing hefty fines.
I recall one game (sometime in the period 1969-1971) when the Chiefs and Raiders had a bench clearing brawl, baseball style. The field was littered with black and red players beating the crap out of each other. The network went to a commercial break, and when the break was over, the brawl was still going on.
I seem to remember the announcer using the word "pandemonium" a lot.
Nah, couldn't have been pink. ;-)
Nobody would wear them........ except maybe Barney Frank and Richard Simmons.
post # 62................
Have a look...........a huge pink socialist uniform.
;-)
They're a game out of first in the NL East, and 1.5 games out of the Wild Card spot. Suck, they do not.
I think the thrust of the study is "all else being equal, red helps". No talent can not be made up for by wearing red, but for two equal competitors (or close to equal) red may help.
That was football without the beer commercials......
I think it is hogwash too but I just thought of Oklahoma, Alabama, Nebraska, and USC, all have some shade of red.
You're right.
We could watch a game without being jolted out of our seats by a LOUD, annoying, LOUD, drunken orgy with scantliy clad bimbos LOUDLY promising their favors if we would only slam back their choice of beer.
