Rave on, NFL fans
Apparently, people who customize their NFL apparel have the same fashion sensibilities as the folks who design children's clothing. You know, like the little shirts featuring random numbers and phrases, like "Slugger 18."
"Big Red," I suppose I can understand. But "Ham Bone" seems at least vaguely racist. "Raven King" is an odd choice. Even worse is "Ray Rave" over Ray Lewis' number. Why would you put that on a jersey? What is that even supposed to mean? And a fan wearing a hoodie that reads "Pro Bowl" with the number 9 underneath ... well, that's just confusing.
So, feel free to customize your apparel, NFL fans. As long as it doesn't include one of the more than 1,100 words and phrases banned by the league for use on said apparel. I'd link to it, but I'm still trying to keep this blog mostly family-friendly, and that includes the links.

I love that kid celebrating the TD. He deserves an Emmy. Also deserving of an Emmy, the dude who does the voice for these NFL commercials. I’d pay to have him narrate my life. But I’m totally with you on the idiotic name choices.
