I'm such a dumbass. I got totally sucked in and thought this was the weirdest thing ever.

In fairness, I heard George McC on a podcast the other day say there was the upcoming uniform announcement and was zoned into that, thinking it was real.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

Going to give the Bears full kudos for how well they sold this, even with the lead in by ownership. Props for this one!

Just got back from opened heart surgery last night and I have to say this thread made me laugh for the first time in like 3 weeks LOL. Was a good prank...
”Damn -- Khalil Mack had another strip sack?” Gruden asked rhetorically, shaking his head at the Oakland Raiders assistant coaches in his midst. “Are you ... kidding me?”

I think they should have doubled down and announced the signing of some Australian rugby player who can kick 80 yard field goals ... the football version of Sid Fynch and his 150 mph fastball

It is thanks! It was a birth defect and I'm only 48 so it wasn't that bad the anticipation was worse than the surgery. Having said that I feel bad for anyone that needs it at an older age because it's pretty painful for a few days which might take a lot longer down the line.

At least I now know I will be able to see this super bowl window through LOL.
