Al Harris' Vanity

No, I'm not talking about Al Harris as an egomaniac or narcissist. Though he probably isn't suffering from low self-esteem, Al Harris' Vanity refers to his very own barbershop and salon!

Vanity was opened in 2006 with the help of Al Harris, his brother, and fellow NFL-er Zack Crockett. The salon is located in Pompano Beach, Florida, just 12 miles from Al Harris' residence of Coral Springs.

I wonder if Al Harris ever makes a guest barber appearance at the salon? Would you let "3irty 1" give you a haircut or goatee trim?

Game Day TODAY!

Getting through a Monday at work can be difficult in the off-season. Nothing to look forward to, apart from some stray nights where The Bachelor/Bachelorette might be on. Yawn.

But Mondays in the fall take on a whole new energy!

Tonight is our first Monday night Green Bay game of the season. The Packers take on the Chicago Bears at Chicago at 7:30 p.m. ESPN will be covering the game.

Ahhhhh, Mondays in fall. I heart you.

Ten Things to Love About #10 Matt Flynn

Jarrett Bush's Musical Talents

Jarrett Bush, Green Bay Packers cornerback, is clearly a strong football athlete. He is known for a strong work ethic and quick decision making that have changed the course of the game. (Remember his 2007 punt recovery?)

But something you may not know about Jarrett is his passion for music! Number 24 is skilled on three different instruments. Here they are, pictorially speaking.

Can you name each instrument?


So how'd you do?

The first is a trombone. You hit different notes with the sliding feature, making the trombone unique among all instruments.

Next is OBVIOUSLY drums. Nothing else to add there.

The third picture is the tuba. Ooooompah! The tuba is the biggest and lowest pitched of the brass family and adds a solid foundation to any ensemble.

Jarrett Bush should become a one man musical band! I'm sure he can play something like this:

I'm almost willing to say that I would pay more money to see that than to see a Green Bay Packers game. Almost.

AJ Hawk's hyperbaric oxygen chamber

The first time I read about AJ Hawk's hyperbaric oxygen chamber, I thought it sounded like a torture device. AJ Hawk put this....thing....in his Green Bay bedroom because the machine is intended to simulate high altitude. As a result, it usually increases a person's red blood cells and is supposed to prolong endurance.

My nightmare

Can you imagine sleeping in this inflatable casket night after night? Especially when you're this size?


Rumors have it that recently AJ Hawk extended the hyperbaric chamber into an entire bedroom. I wonder if his wife consented to this little renovation project?

Home game on Sunday!

This Sunday, the Green Bay Packers take on the Buffalo Bills here at Lambeau Field.

The game starts at noon so you can bet I'll be there grilling out beforehand. Stop by and say hello if you see me there. I'll be wearing a Hot for the Packers shirt. Not too easy to miss, I'm sure. Let's eat a brat together and cheer for the best team in the league!

GOOOOOOO Green Bay Packers!

Green guys go gleefully to the gridiron.
