TJ Lang, Future Cop?

TJ Lang is one of the newest members on the Green Bay Packers roster. He just graduated from Eastern Michigan in May 2009 after four solid years on their varsity football squad. The Green Bay Packers snatched him up in the draft and he's getting used to professional football play at this point.


But something that intrigues me about this player is his undergrad major--criminal justice. At 6'4" and 315 pounds, he has an imposing height and weight that might just stop any criminal in their tracks.

I like the thought of a big, athletic cop patrolling my neighborhood. They bring an element of safety and physical presence that smaller guys lacks. Sorry to all those little men out there who experience short man syndrome, but it's true. Wouldn't you rather have someone like TJ Lang on the the beat protecting your city rather than someone half his size?

Well, TJ Lang's career ambitions will be put on hold for a few years or more depending on his performance. In the meantime, all you have to do is purchase a Green Bay Packers ticket, head to Lambeau Field, and take in a game to watch this future cop in action. Works for me!

Workout fashion with Danny Lansanah

So let's do a fashion study of Danny Lansanah. Why not? I picked this photo because I think Danny Lansanah's fashion here is spot-on. We have a tighter fitting, sleeveless t-shirt to keep him cool while also giving fans like me something to see in his muscular arms! It isn't loose and baggy to get in the way and also accentuates his shape.

As far as the shorts, I think they're an appropriate length. We don't have the massive bagginess of XXXXXXXXL basketball pant-shorts and we don't have the nasty speedo-esque briefs of a cross country runner. Just a slight-above-the-kneecap pair in a tasteful navy blue.

Something else that draws me to this picture is Danny Lansanah's use of crisp white gloves. They look really sharp! Danny Lansanah may have picked them because they come in handy for his linebacker duties on the Green Bay Packers, but I pick them because they look intense! I might want to slip on a pair for my next jog.

I was a bit uncertain about the socks. Strike one--they're black socks. But, I think he pulls it off. Standard sock length back in my day was halfway up the calf. But I see that Danny Lansanah is sticking with the current times and keeping it low. Keeping it real. I like it.

Of course, the outfit could be improved if it were in Green Bay Packers green and yellow, but he sure earns points for coordinating with the blue mats at the bottom and in the background of the picture. I'm sure he tried that, right?

Lightbulb moment! Maybe pro-athletes would LIKE someone to coordinate their workout clothes?! Could I be hired for this? Official title: Personal Shopper for Training Clothes of all members of the Green Bay Packers roster. This could be a whole industry. Time to start researching!
