Wardrobe Malfunction

I want to do geometry on his suit jacket.

Herm likes the "X axis / Y axis" look.

Apparently Herm Edwards decided to wear a piece of graph paper as a suit on NFL Live tonight.  Who in their right mind thinks that looks good?  How does a grown man not know how to dress himself?  How do the producers let him get in front of the camera wearing something like that?  Is he just messing with us?  No, I don’t think he is.  But in honor of the eye-rape that Herm’s suit just perpetrated on me, here’s a montage of ugly suits from a guy who gets it: TNT’s NBA sideline man Craig Sager.  This guy’s schtick is simple: 1) find hideous suit, 2) wear hideous suit on TV, 3) laughs ensue.  What’s the lesson here?  It’s not how hideous the suit is, it’s weather or not you get that the suit is hideous and wear it specifically for that reason.

Now THAT'S mint green.  My breath just got fresher just from looking at it.

Ugh, that jacket reminds me of the last time I fell asleep hugging a toilet and swearing that I'd never drink again.

See Herm, this is the acceptable way to wear a graph paper suit: as a joke.

Again, Herm.  He is mocking himself and you.

Looking at this is making me have acid flashbacks.  I'm not sure if that means that I should turn away, or keep staring...

    thing is…sager isn’t mocking himself. he’s dead fucking serious in the same way herm is! neither one of these guys gets it when it comes to fashion, and are definitely so done here buddy.

  • Sorry bro, but you’re very wrong on this. Sager is definitely in on the joke. It’s his schtick. Find the most hideous suits and jackets on earth, then wear them on TV while deadpanning like you’re serious. Look at that sequin jacket. Do you honestly think that he thinks it looks good? It’s a running gag.

  • Pat, you just blew me away. I really should be thanking KG, though, since he provided the comedy.
