Actually, NFL coaches have no dress code. IE: Belicheck with his cut off hoody, to Jack Del Rio with his shirt and tie. The league made a stink about Del Rio, but then allowed him to wear it for 5 out of 16 games. The NFL, to an extent has limited any on field advertising. Yes, NFL has a contract with Reebok where the jersey's and all stuff worn on the field have to be made by them, but there are no advertisments on the playing surface, or billboards that are rotating during game play. I tried watching the Cavs Celtics game last night, and the scores table with the rolling billboards were never sync'd up. I couldn't take it. I understand advertising must take place in order to fund teams, but I prefer it outside of the game, as opposed to inside of it. Europe and other countries run things differently, and I'm not saying their wrong, Im just saying I like it the true american way because I'm a one sided yank!
And to UB, I love how everyone is undervaluing the Colts. Better yet, I love the mass exedus to the Bears bandwagon. Matter of fact, I hope the Colts lose out and attendence drops 25% next year, if they even play!
