Hockey... No, don't worry everyone will understand this

So, a lot of people in the north know the Stanley Cup playoffs are currently taking place. For those who are further south of the Carolina's, well they couldn't give a flying fart in space... That's right I'm talking about former Thrasher fans who are still upset about Atlanta not having a hockey team. Fact is, the Thrashers moved to Canada and are now the Jets, and despite the terrible circumstances, ain't nobody happy 'bout that. But I digress. (BTW, there is a minor league hockey team in Gwinnett)

My understanding of hockey is extremely limited, but being from Pittsburgh (GO STEELERS) I have more of an understanding than most. Well, maybe not when I'm watching the Pens eliminate the Islanders in a playoff series and refer to them as the Rangers to a friend of mine who is ironically from the north... Oops.

Anyway, so being from a northern family and living in the south most of my life, my father still watches hockey when it's in season. I catch snippets, but what I've noticed is this: the coaches and manager's on each side wear suits! These men are dressed like gentlemen and cursing like sailors! I saw one guy through a water bottle onto the ice because the arena was so loud he couldn't get his players' attention!

So, when we're watching football, like everyone in the south does (I refuse to plug any college football team as they are all turning out to be criminals... but really, who is shocked?) you will notice the coaching staff doesn't dress very well. In addition, you have the NFL where the coach of the New England Patriots has been marked as the biggest slob in the NFL. Now, I don't know about you but if I made half the money, strike that, A QUARTER of the money all these football coaches made... I'd hire a personal stylist so I don't look like an idiot!

Moral of this story? Hockey Coaches > Football Coaches when it comes to fashion.


**Blog Note: I've been corrected by a Football fan who has informed me that the coaches in college and NFL are no longer allowed to wear suits. Doesn't matter, they still look like bums.
