Scrubs. Not the sit-com.

Could Medical Uniforms be fashion statements? I'm kidding, right? Not necessarily.

Today, the ol' generic green hospital scrub has given way to some surprisingly good looking apparel. You don't have to look like Hawkeye Pierce when wearing medical uniforms these days.

Even if you don't want to wear uniforms as recreational wear, those in the medical industry are enjoying the improvements. Top design companies, including hip makers like Baby Phat, are churning out great stuff.

Doctors and nurses are looking good these days, thanks to the great scrubs and uniforms available through places like ScrubsGallery.com. Online medical uniform shopping is giving everyone a chance to find some great-looking duds.

So, before you toss on your Brigade jersey, give some thought to donning a pair of high-fashion scrubs, instead.

By the way, the kid isn't wearing an example of the aforementioned good stuff. I just thought it was a great shot.

Elway and Bon Jovi. It doesn't get worse.

Okay, I'm sure some people will disagree with me on this one, but the top aggravation I have about Arena Football is the league's tendency to promote the game in terms of its high-profile, celebrity owners.

I'm not just saying that because Harvey Keitel and that hot girl from The Craft (Fairuza something?) don't have teams, either. Admittedly, I'm never going to join a Bon Jovi fan club or put a John Elway poster over my bed. I don't like either fella in terms as celebs (although they may be fine guys otherwise).

My problem isn't just with horseface and his pseudo-rocking buddy. It's the idea of peddling the league based on their has-been careers.

Anyway, if you dig Arena ball it should be for the players and the competition. If you're a fan on the basis of enjoying a good rendition of "Living on a Prayer" you need help.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Porter Gets Nod for Top Coach Honors

The Brigade may have missed an opportunity to win its first home playoff game at the soon-to-be-vacant Kemper Arena, but head honcho Kevin Porter still ended the season as a winner.

Porter received Coach of the Year honors from the artificial turf gurus at Sportexe.

Congratulations to Coach Porter on a well-deserved win. Hey, the season ended on a down note, but the Brigade accomplished a lot under his leadership.

As the folks at KC InfoZine news relayed:

"Porter led Kansas City's second-year Arena Football franchise to a 10-6 regular season record after a 3-13 inaugural year, becoming one of only four teams in the 21-year history of the AFL to make a seven-game turnaround."

Now, let's get to work on getting a championship win, too...
