Bathrobes

[GROwl 5]

For those of you who watched the game on FSN last night, did you catch the commentary that Ken Daniels/Mickey Redmond said about the bathrobes that Jason Williams bought for the Columbus team? Apparently they were BlueJacket blue (!) and had their names/numbers stiched on them. Ken said that the team was very appreciative.

Does anyone else think this was really, really strange? I don't think I'd accept a bathrobe given to me by my teammate. As a matter of fact, I would move my stall as far away in the lockerroom from him as I could get.

Mickey said that someone in Calgary did this a few years ago too.

Its funny. Mike Commodore did it.

Clearly Jason was trying to send his team the following message:

Stop walking around the locker room naked after showering.

Maybe they are like those robes boxers wear when going into the ring. Or something.

I wouldn't worry too much about the bathrobes. Blue Game Day Thong- I'd worry.

What's so strange about that? Sounds like a nice gesture.

It's like, totally strange man. It works like cooties. If Williams touched the private areas of the robe, and a Jacket touched that part of the robe with his privates, it's like Williams is a pervert touching other teammates' privates! That's a biiiig nono to anyone who is a homophobe logical. Obviously Williams is ***.

No one remembers this?

Those robes were huge in Carolina that year.

Commodore is a clown. I like watching him sit in the penalty box.

The funniest part to me was how Mickey mentioned the size a robe would need to be to cover Hitchcock, saying he weights 400 pounds.

"Ken Hitchcock weighs 400 pounds" - Mickey Redmond

The real beauty of this is that a player can wear it on the street and nobody will notice them.

Hahaha, if I had that kind of money when I was still playing I'd have done the same thing! No one wants to see that s*** boys!

Sounds like a photoshop opportunity for one of you experts...

ZOMG HE MUST BE DA GHEYS!! Come on now be a little less homophobic. These are grown men not little junio high schoolers who are afraid of being called homosexual. I don't care what anyone says, there is nothing more comfortable after a shower or just before bed if your a little cold than a quality robe. I will gladly accept one as a gift from a man or woman.

The only problem I see is that Commodore wasn't wearing it in the infamous money picture.

Admit it- you worked at Bed, Bath & Beyond. You crazy robe salesman.

I know right? I mean it's not a huge deal, but having some robes around would at least make showering less awkward for the people sitting around taking off there gear that happen to be at junk level.
