Among those things which should not be your focus during a football game

1. the yellow paint on goalposts
2. the choreography of the coin toss
3. the quality of the end-zone paint
4. that tool with the John 3:16 sign
5. the referees' uniforms

In the past weeks, I have heard countless commentators expressing their displeasure with the new uniforms for NFL referees. I'd list the complaints, but it's difficult to encapsulate them; they seem geared more toward filling time than making any real point. (Much like the endless coverage of TO's leg.)

To all of this I say: shut up. Do not speak about the new uniforms. Do not speak about what anyone is wearing, unless it is a fan wearing a G-string to a December game in Green Bay, or unless it is a particularly wicked-cool throwback uni. Everyone is hereby banned from speaking about the ref's outfits, on penalty of suffocation beneath Tony Siragusa's belly.
