Pink Is a Manly Color
At least it is when you put it on football players. I’m loving the pink accents the NFL is using for the A Crucial Catch campaign to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pink coordinates surprisingly well with the team colors, I’m really going to miss it after October ends. I wonder if there’s any chance some of the players or coaches will keep it up? Eh, I guess not, since everything is supposed to be auctioned after the campaign ends. But it’d be cool if they did. All the proceeds for items in the auction will go to breast cancer research funding – I would so love to buy something, but I bet it’ll all go for way more than I can afford. Which, actually, is a good thing, better that research funding makes more money than I have some more NFL crap around my house.
While I’m talking football – hey, the Texans defense is trying to make a liar out of me by playing well against the Raiders yesterday (that safety was awesome!). Which is actually fine with me, go right ahead, I’ll be happy to eat my words.
One last note – on October 11, it’s the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Dallas Texans. That’s right, the Chiefs will be wearing their throwback uniforms from the 60s when the team was part of the AFL and were located in Dallas, as the Dallas Texans. Lamar Hunt lobbied for a game between the two Dallas teams, but it never happened; now the Game That Never Was will play out in Arrowhead Stadium this upcoming Sunday. If the Chiefs don’t win another game all year (and the way they’re going, that’s a distinct possibility) I hope they win this one. It’d be a fitting tribute to Lamar Hunt.
