Talk About It, Talk About It ...
Do You Care What A.I. & T.O. Wear? Would McDonald's let Ronald dress up like the Burger King? Nooooo. Are you allowed to wear garb with a rival company's logo? Or dress like a slob on the job? Noooo. So wouldn't you expect a guy getting millions to have to show loyalty and professionalism at all times? Ya'd think. But not Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, who wore a Michael Irvin jersey on the plane home from Sunday's wipeout in Dallas. (Irvin played for those hated Cowboys.) More details. So no surprise fans took offense. Just as they did when Iverson wore a Boston Celtics jersey a few years ago. And speaking of A.I., last week his feathers were ruffled by word the NBA is considering a casual business-dress code for traveling players. See "An NBA dress code? It's a necessary evil," by columnist Stephen A. Smith. Frankly, I hate dress codes. Always have. Ever since I had to wear a too-tight clip-on bowtie to church as a runt. If business suits are great, why are presidential candidates so keen to sport the Marlboro man/rancher look for campaign photo ops? All I'm worried about A.I. and T.O. wearing: championship rings. OK, no underwear on the head. That's going too far. Post your comment below. Or call the Early Word Hotline at 215-854-2388, if you'd like to have your voice heard here.
