Your “Working The Runway” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• Those of you hoping for creamsicle should prepare for disappointment: The Bucs have debuted their new uniforms.  
  • Instead of an origin throwback, they chose to return to before Warren Sapp had his issues with the bargaining price for a lady’s attention.
  • NFL rules mandate that uniforms can only be changed every five years though. Wearing the previous uniforms until 2019, the Bucs went 34-62 (.354), third-worst in the NFL, and did not reach the postseason.
    • The only nod to their original garb is in the white block numbers, which have a thick black outline and a thinner orange line inside of it as a nod to Tampa Bay’s creamsicle days.
    • However, they do note that if the NFL allows multiple helmet designs starting in 2021, then they can reintroduce the creamsicle as a throwback alternate.
      • Current concussion protocols dictate the use of only one helmet design, to ensure each player wears the same type throughout a season.

• The CFL has delayed the start of its season from June 11 to “sometime” in July.
  • “Like our fellow Canadians, we in the CFL are striving to meet today’s challenges with both pragmatism and hope,” commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in a statement. “We are pragmatic enough to see our country still has sacrifice and hard work ahead of it.”
  • Considering the CFL only has a two-game preseason, look for the NFL to get some ideas.

• Speaking of NFL preseason, when it does happen, the Rams & Chargers will be the “Hard Knocks” teams.
  • Likely because it’s their first season in their new shared facility, and it will be interesting to follow the demarcation of the relationship between Stan Kroenke & his rent boy tenant Dean Spanos.

• Also on the preseason agenda: Sky judge!
  • If the Rules Committee votes to eliminate the PI challenge rule, then they might take up the Ravens’ proposal about having an extra official for onsite video review.
  • It would be a 2020 trial, with the earliest regular season change being in 2021.

Today’s internet good dog is a not-necessarily smart dog who is confused by the other dog in the mirror that appears to be mocking him.
