Who Let The Dogs Out?

vick

The story for the early part of this NFL season has been the play of Michael Vick for the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick is the most exciting player in the game right now and he seems to be finding his form that he sported prior to his incarceration two years ago.

Philadelphia is a strange town and they seem to have taken to accepting Vick as the representation for the team. As long as Vick keeps winning games, especially this upcoming weekend against the NFC East rival Redskins and former Philly QB Donovan McNabb.

The DP.com football pool is back in effect again. Shouts to everyone that signed up. Last year we gave a DJ Hero console to the pool’s overall points winner. This year is no different and we have a selection of prizes for you football fans. EA Sports Madden ’11 for PS3 or DJ Hero2 console and game.

Good luck to all of you poolers, and good luck to Michael Vick.

95 burgular

The chances this perp is rocking a pair of Nike is better odds than flipping a coin with the AirMax 95 coming in as the top shoe at British break-ins and burglaries.

In Search Of The Holy Grail…

tigerhead

I caught a glimpse of my personal Polo Ralph Lauren holy grail I.T.

The Tigerhead Leathersleeve Letterman jacket.

I used to politic online with a dude who had put the jacket up for auction on ‘the system’ (eBay), but then refused to sell it to me because the bidding never exceeded $250. I wanted the I.T. so bad I told the dude I would give him $350 but even then he balked. Sonn wanted five bills. I suppose I should have just given him the bread at the time because here it is almost ten years later and I still don’t have the jacket.

It popped up twice recently on the system, but both jackets have been men’s size Large. In that vintage I can still rock an XL, but a Large just looks silly of me as if I like fishsticks. The jacket is detailed so mean and beautiful. Peep the leather trim on the pockets. The simple clean scripted logo on the left breast is reminiscent of baseball club design. The quilted satin lining is just like they do at all the finer universities.

The big tigerhead on the back is where this I.T. really shines. Also peep the leather on the backside of the collar for those of us who know how to get our Arturo Fonzarelli poppin’ off. I have only two words for this jacket… Class and sick.

Hide the women and children if I ever get this joint in an XL.

agassis

My red and black apparel program is just sickness from the start. Shouts to theshoegame.com

I would have to rock the Agassi’s tho’ because that is just the tennis shoe type style I would want to express with this jacket.

But I could be convinced to go Air Jordan VI black and varsity red just for those who have a hard time understanding how 1992 my vision is.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

cadion

I just received a pair of replacement boots for the defective Field Boots I returned to Timberland. These joints are some super lightweight futuristic hikers called the Cadion series.

The Cadion is a perfect hiker because its strong and supportive but totally flexible. Timberland makes them like the equivalent of cross-trainers or better still high-top basketball boots.

I had to indulge myself and give the boots a tryout deep in the Pennsylvania mountains somewhere near my namesake incidentally.
