Eagles Uniform Malfunctions

[sbuscha]

the Eagles, several of whom are exhibiting a peculiar stylistic affectation: They play with their belts unbuckled and flapping in the breeze. The charter members of this club appear to be Dhani Jones, Lito Sheppard, Michael Lewis, Roderick Hood (who needs to buckle up, like, immediately), and Brian Dawkins (who even goes unbuckled when posing for photos with little kids). Are these guys trying to suggest that they're about to administer a whuppin'? Are they comparing themselves to black belts in karate? Uni Watch hates to break it to them, but they just look like they're on their way to the bathroom. It's worth noting that all these players line up on the defensive side of the ball. But their teammate Todd Pinkston -- now on injured reserve -- is a wide receiver, and photos from last season indicate that he favored the unbuckled look too. Might this have been a tactical maneuver? Imagine a defender grabbing Pinkston around the waist area and then finding himself holding nothing but the belt, with a now-beltless Pinkston sprinting down the sidelines. (In the interests of completeness, Uni Watch notes that there's one other member of Philly's offense who's been beltless lately, but that's Donovan McNabb, and he's only been doing it to ice down his hernia.)

Emmitt frequently played with his unbuckled. Don't know if it was always or intentional.

Every game I remember.

I seem to remember Jason Sehorn doing this when he was with the Giants and ended up giving up a TD because he had to give up on the chase to pull his pants up. That may have been in the SB against the Ravens.

Looks like I didn't get here fast enough to say the same thing/

Why are people looking at their wastes anyway?

Isn't there a uniform official from the NFL at every game?

There are fines for not having a jersey tucked in or for not having you socks pulled up, so is there a fine for unbuckled pants?

Man I really hope you meant "waists". Cause if not then we got some serious messed up people out there if what you are saying holds truth!!!
