Jeff Backus’ pants left little to the imagination

Found September 11, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jeff Backus
TEAMS: Detroit Lions

Via Larry Brown Sports:

Nike’s new uniforms did little to help the cause of perspiring offensive linemen in Week 1 of the NFL season. Above is a screenshot of Lions tackle Jeff Backus, who sweat through his pants so hard you could see his legs, cheeks, and jockstrap. I think we can officially consider that a wardrobe malfunction. And I think Nike might need to change the kind of material they’re using for their pants, though at least they were able to successfully divert attention from their other NFL uniform issue.

  • Jeez. Why is it so important for everyone to know and see everything? Also, everything that is designed, made and marketed by Nike is total crap. They don't stop with shoes or clothes but also pollute the visual environment on playing fields as well.

Handshakes or not, new look Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers will always play a good game

As thrilling as the event was for America in a voyeuristic sort of way, I find myself wishing last year's "handshake gate" incident had never happened. It overshadowed everything that was important in an otherwise fantastic football game between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers. Lost in all the fury and discussion about proper handshake decorum was the...

Last week: 20 (-2) Record: 1-0 I got several things wrong week 1, finishing 8-8 ATS and 9-7 SU on the week, and several of my bolder preseason predictions are looking kind of shaky (more on that later), but one thing I nailed was that St. Louis would be better than people thought and Detroit would be worse. The odds makers seemed to agree with me, setting the line for Detroit/St...

With the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers just days away from facing off against one another this coming Sunday, Lions cornerback Chris Houston thought it would be a good time to talk some trash.
