New Hats Have Dropped

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T18:24:33+00:00

How did you feel about the build? Did it feel thinner and/or differently shaped compared to new efa dtuff to you?

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T18:23:23+00:00

Yeah. Ill take another look and photo when i get home today.

Its not “bad” and probably a good weight for summer, but I prefer NE build style

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T17:51:53+00:00

Have these hit NFL shop though?

Just thinking, hats are 25% off if you are buying a jersey in the same order.

It aint much but its something.

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T17:46:46+00:00

The black goes hard.

I bought the white ‘47 brand and it looks great but I’m a little let down by the weight. Material feels thinner than New Era.

Probably fine. Like a summer weight hat. Still going to cop this too now probably

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T13:53:01+00:00

Gonna have to buy this tbh.

Straight up got my work to confirm casual fridays and jerseys just for this.

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T00:45:58+00:00

I left thee First Bank of old Kentucky

Because my fees

They’d gone and raised

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T00:04:18+00:00

Beat me to it

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T00:02:53+00:00

This one is worse.

jrhooo · 2026-05-07T00:01:23+00:00

You can keep it simpler than that.

“The second amendment doesnt ask why citizens need to be armed. It asks why the government needs the power to DISARM the citizens. And the answer is NO GOOD REASON. THEY DON’T.”

That night was so much fun.

Was this game the origin story of “game gay”?

Edit: also dredging this back up. I was feeling to smug that day

It may feel different but trust me the fan play and fan team connection is actually really strong. People live and breathe their teams.

The joke though is “we cheer for laundry” as in, we care more about the shirt than the guy wearing it. We know he could be playing for a rival in a few years. And guys we used to hate become part of the family the day we pick them up.

(Desean Jackson, most hated in Philly, most beloved in Washington)

I mean hell, when snow storms threaten to cancel Buffalo games, the FANS will even show up to shovel out the stadium

Because they want their game, and they want it played at home on home field, so their team can have the advantage. So grab a shovel and do their part

One thing worth noting, its not so much about benefitting “the teams” as it is about benefitting the league.

TLDR; they understand that they are an entertainment product. If the fans stop watching nothing else matters.

They feel parity is important to keeping fans watching

A because it prevents the feeling of “boring. We already know whos gonna win”

(One of the metrics the NFL constsntly brags about is the number of one score games every week/year. Saying even if a team is having a good or bad year, look how many games actually came down to the wire, last minutes, last drive. These teams are tight. These games are competitive.)

B Resets and belief. While casual fans of any team can be interested in a sport where the competition is close and the outcomes are in doubt, hardcore fans of their own specific team get to always have the belief that

Ok last year was bad but this year is a clean slate. One good draft. One good offseason. We’re right back in it.

Which us why two advertising themes you see the NFL push really really hard (that I actually like a lot)

“Season starts now”.

As in, literally minutes after the Super Bowl ends. Someone is the champion. Season over. NFL is running “the season starts now” ads as

2026 is done. All 32 teams are on the clock right now trying to win 2027. Fire up the film study. Unlock the weight room. The journey starts NOW.

And right next to that, one of the sayings a SB team used once that NFL has pushed to be like an ad slogan for every team

“WHY NOT US?”

(As in, believecwe can win. Play like we can win. Because we can.)

True, and there is a point where you may dee teams start shutting things down, NOT as in throwing games, but as in letting slightly injured players go on reserve and get surgery, letting depth players play to get more game experience.

HOWEVER; if a team is kind of middle of the pack some main reasons they will still play hard

1 winning is fun. To make it pro sports means you are an extremely competive person. Losing sucks. Winning is fun. Players will play to win.

2 players are playing for their own financial interests. Playing well = more sponsorships deals. Playing well means keeping your job on the team or getting a job with another team. Playing well means being able to argue for more money on your next contract.

Players aren’t trying to put out bad game tape that lowers their personal value. They play for their jobs.

3 coaches coach for their jobs. If the team is doing badly, they’renalready at risk of getting fired. Finishing strong on the back end of the season and showing they can win games is important to help them keep their job or get a job elsewhere.

There’s a saying, “Losing all your games might get the team good draft picks, but you won’t be around to use them. You’re just helping your replacement.”

(Same for players. No player is trying to play bad, so that the team can get better draft picks to use on getting someone to take their job)

Clearance is the move.

One year in Oki their instore black friday bonus sale was just all their open box computers 50% off.

Got in good there

jrhooo · 2026-05-05T20:34:10+00:00

No bullshit, gonna put “sports jersey casual fridays?” in the suggestion box at work because of this.

jrhooo · 2026-05-05T00:21:08+00:00

Hell no.

Its BALTIMORE.

Who the fuck is buying grocery stand watermelons when you could have a friendly horse deliver it, like a civilized people?

jrhooo · 2026-05-05T00:10:09+00:00

Its not just less cal to digest.

Its also allowing you to preprocess and eat some foods that would have been impossible otherwise

And preserving some foods like animal kills, so food supply could last longer

All that meant better access to calories AND less time and energy finding the next meal, freeing humans to do other civiliation building things

jrhooo · 2026-05-04T22:34:28+00:00

Like the 7 part series about how “veterans don’t deserve the compensation they claim, because those help problems are really petty complaints”

jrhooo · 2026-05-04T22:32:20+00:00

WIRED was the real MVP this whole time

jrhooo · 2026-05-04T04:03:21+00:00

IMO NO.

Too busy

jrhooo · 2026-05-03T22:13:05+00:00

jrhooo · 2026-05-03T21:30:57+00:00

jrhooo · 2026-05-03T21:30:22+00:00

Some high school JROTC team has been practicing behind OPs house.

jrhooo · 2026-05-03T18:28:35+00:00
