UniDiction 2011: Week 9 – Eagles vs. Bears
This was cross-posted on Crossing Broad. follow me on twitter @dancfuller Well, they may have blasted apart my uniform-generated spread (25-15), but a win (real life: 34-7) is a win. I’m 3-4, the Eagles are 3-4. Not too shabby after a dicey start for both of us. We had a surprisingly lively debate in the comments section […]

UniDiction 2011: Week 8 – Eagles vs. Cowboys
Follow me on twitter (@dancfuller) for uniform updates during Sunday’s games. If you have any questions or want to have a uniform-related argument, whether fact-based or opinion-oriented, just send something @ me. OK, let’s all agree that it was good to see the Eagles win one. But can we also agree that the Redskins looked a whole […]

Drive
How far can you take the idea of creating a nondescript character before you have one that is boring and unlikeable? That’s the argument that’s running through my head as I write about the new Ryan Gosling vehicle (literally), “Drive”. “Drive” is the story of a mechanic/Hollywood stunt driver/robbery wheelman, who operates under a strict […]

Kraft Jet-Puffed StackerMallows
In the long-standing tradition of foodstuffs that have been created just so that someone can write “new” on the label, and people can have the illusion of convenience (but in most cases are just pure stupidity), comes Kraft’s new Jet-Puffed Stacker Mallows. When someone tries to create something new that is designed to have an […]

UniDiction 2011: Week 1 – Eagles vs. Rams
Look for me on Twitter (@dancfuller) where I’ll likely have a few uniform-related updates during today’s games. And we’re back. After three forays into Phillies throwbacks, we find ourselves back in the UniDiction wheelhouse… football uniforms. For catching up’s sake, the Eagles had no uniform-related news this off-season. No throwbacks like last year (boo) or 2007 (count your blessings), so it’s likely we’ll see the Black […]

How to be a Uniform Snob Part 2: Phillies vs. Padres (Throwbacks!)
From 2003 against the Pirates in solid yellow—ladies and gentlemen: your 1970s! The pictures with formal write-ups of the uniforms in question are from Bill Henderson’s excellent MLB Game Worn Jerseys of the Double-Knit Era. Buy it here.

How to Be Uniform Snob: Phillies vs. Braves (1974 Throwbacks)
This is crosspost from Crossing Broad. Quick note: some of the pictures are from Uniwatch’s write-up of last year’s Phillies-Brewers throwback game as well as the excellent “MLB Game Worn Jerseys of the Double Knit Era” by Bill Henderson. Well then, other than the fact the Phillies got the “L,” that went pretty well, don’t you think? For the […]

Uniform Analysis: Phillies vs. Braves (Negro League Throwbacks)
This is crosspost from Crossing Broad. I usually stick to NFL uniforms and snide remarks in the comments, but the Phillies have a …UniTastic weekend series against the Braves, wearing Negro League throwbacks on Saturday and 1974 throwbacks on Sunday, so here’s a quick run-down and review for Saturday’s game. Some comments about Sunday’s game later. Unfortunately, […]

The Empty Bookshelf Guide to the 2010 Oscars
This won’t be a guide to all of the awards, but we’ll get through all of the important ones. I’m structuring this as an “Empty Bookshelf Guide” and selectively using the royal “we,” though I’ve not consulted with the Junior Staff for their opinions. The format will be listing the ten Best Picture nominees, and […]

UniDiction – Wildcard Weekend – Eagles vs. Packers
Well, like the real Eagles, I didn’t end with the right kind of streak, but if the NFC West has taught us anything, anyone can make the playoffs this year. (and FYI, I had a better record than the Seahawks). We’ve seen the Eagles play the Packers already this year, but thankfully, unlike last week’s […]
