ESPN: Nolan, Del Rio get OK to wear suits

It's amazing how many people here don't understand the concept of dressing like a grown-up. Sure, I've got the same sweats as any other guy, but I've also got a suit and fedora. Put a Manhattan in one hand and I look better than at least half the guys in North America ever will.

If you don't understand the concept of dressing for success, odds are you won't ever be successful.

The kind folks at Deadspin concur. For the record though, Nolan > Del Rio. Regardless, sharpness all around!

Giants Look Anything But Sharp And Dapper

Among the many reasons for Giants coach Tom Coughlin to feel like a bit of a doofus last night, the fact that he was wearing the standard coachwear of a blue poncho festooned with the soul of a windbreaker, while Jack Del Rio finally found a way to not look like a meathead in his rather sharp suit. We try not to veer too much toward the sartorial around here, but we think we'd respect a coach who looked more like Del Rio than Coughlin. We are crossing our fingers that every coach is doing this by next year, and not just because of Parcells and Mangini.

Meanwhile, the Giants' incredibly ugly loss to the Jaguars leaves them tied with the Cowboys in the NFC East and wondering what kind of mess they've gotten themselves into with their quarterback. Eli Manning has been awful for six straight games now, and he's looking completely lost. Considering that the backup is The Sasquatch That Is Jared Lorenzen, Manning isn't going anywhere ... but we'd almost trust Jeff Garcia more than him right now. And unfortunately, quarterbacks aren't allowed to wear suits to dress themselves up.

Other than that, just a dominant game all around for the Jaguars, one that wasn't exactly thrilling to watch. Though we'll say the odds are excellent that last night will be the last time Jay-Z and Tony Kornheiser will ever find themselves in the same room.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

I believe suits are now 3 for 3 on the year with Jacksonville's PWNing of Indianapolis... :P

I see some issues:

(1) Are not all the jackets navy? The problem with that, of course, is that not every team (including the 49ers and Panthers) has navy in their color scheme (it only seems that way). A dark green would be more appropriate for the Packers than navy, or if not that, then black. Then again, do you want to see Brad Childress in a Vikings purple blazer, or, even worse, Jon Gruden in a "Bucco Bruce" Creamsicle orange blazer?

(2) The suits look good in current weather. They won't in the preseason, or when it's raining, or when it's snowing.

(3) Fedoras and headsets do not mix.

(4) And what about footwear? I don't think suits and spikes mix, but then again a coach wearing wing tips on grass (or, more likely, the grass-mud sideline mix) will end up on his butt soon.
