even though the red doesnt match the uniform red. He still pulled it off

I have to chime in on how freakin’ awesome the NBA sneaker scene was on Christmas day! LOVE IT!

All-Star game worthy!

Greg also notes that the Jets used to have very large TV numbers — “and in the Red Sox font, no less.”

Seeing those Jets unis, the Dolphins and the mud under foot makes me wonder if this wasn’t the infamous 14-0 AFC championship game, played in Orange Bowl muck after a torrential rain. Richard Todd was intercepted 5 times, thrice by AJ Duhe.

Say it ain’t so.

It certainly is from that same game, although I’ve never watched the game, I’ve noticed those big TV numbers before. They’re huge!

dashers / shorts / skate protectors …. please ask people who play before you guys continue to post these ridiculous terms. I even saw stick/blade tape referred to as a “blade pad”..

baseball players don’t wear ‘knickers’ and hockey players DON’T WEAR DASHER OR SHORTS!

Kind of annoying that Paul was too lazy to read the comments (because he obvs didn’t watch the game) about Wizards-Cavs and the no snoflake patches, and just went with what his secret sources told him would happen without checking on what really did happen and THEN didn’t bother to acknowledge his mistake either by changing the text or posting a mea culpa. For someone who takes such pride in details it truly shames his work. Oh yeah, and thanks for “giving back” a bunch of swag you got for free and had no use for.

In one of history’s least surprising developments, this pussy is a coward hiding behind a phony e-mail address.

NBA correction will be running in tomorrow’s Ticker.

Is that any surprise, Paul? ;o)

Those skate protectors worn by Gorges are not really that “heavy duty”, but they are extremely well-designed.

They’re made of kevlar and are extremely light while being extremely strong. They are slid on from the back over the skate. The skater ties his skates onto his feet, and then the velcro strap underneath the boot is secured so that the skate guard doesn’t move while playing.

Don Cherry went on ad nauseum on HNIC about how someone would be a millionaire if they had patented that design since it was light and allowed mobility for the ankle while providing excellent protection to the ankle and foot.

This is the company that makes them. They offer a stock one as well as a custom one.

And Phil Knight reaches for his checkbook, pondering them in team colors with a big-ass Swoosh.

Hahaha…which were those Nike shoes that had the sleeve/strap that came in different colors? I remember kids at the rink used to buy them and put them on their skates a few years back.

Two pairs:

Nike Air Adjust Force:

The Fit-Wrap strap was interchangeable and came in many different colors.

Football players, like Qunetin Griffin and Torrance Marshall of OU, got into the act too!

Thanks, those were the ones.

Nice, I went to HS/graduated with Torrance back in Miami.
