The NFL is letting teams wear alternate jerseys three times a year

7/3/2018

This is the kind of thing we get excited about in July. Color Rush might be over, and so might your desire to watch Thursday Night Football, but you're in luck - Roger Goodell is letting his hair down and you can now watch your favorite team play in a DIFFERENT COLOR three times per season. Thats right - I'm talkin throwbacks, ugly colors, bold colors, all the same color -- it's madness.

(I'm also convinced that this is actually just a marketing ploy by old Mr. Goodell to sell more jerseys of those whose alternates are actually decent and wear-able, like the Ravens' black or Rams.)

If you told me to name any NFL player who went onstage at a Kenny Chesney concert, my first guess would be Russell Wilson and my second would be Peyton Manning. Manning went onstage (as you do) at a Kenny Chesney concert (can't name one song of his honestly) at the Broncos stadium at Mile High this weekend.

I’ve learned a lot over the last year, and I’m looking forward to using all that information and continue to learn and get better for the future.”
