Last night was the 2013 ESPYS, I guess it is a big night if your a big sports fan. But I am not (I prefer to play, rather than spectate). I did, however, manage to catch a few minutes of the red carpet while posted up at Ventuno (it doesn’t seem right they have TVs back there, for the record) and sat largely aghast at much of what I saw the men wearing. Thankfully, there was some taste in the mix, mostly on the aggressive side. But it was good to see some famous people wearing some decent ensembles. There was clearly no dress code so there was a rather stunning variety of dress. Everything from tuxedos to t-shirts. But anyway, you’ll find my cathartic rants below…

I give props to Mr. Wade for dressing up. Hix tux fits quite well and I like the scarf and patterned bow tie. But whatever that necklace is that he’s wearing on the outside of his shirt should be banished from his wardrobe. Don’t even get me started on those shoes.Need her in my life. Now.Damn that jacket is white. I never thought I’d see a silk knit tie on a professional athlete. All things considered, one of the better ensembles of the night, even though it is very aggressive.Worst jacket. Ever.Jon Hamm doing quite well for himself in this black suit and textured black tie. One of the best looks of the night.The double breasted making an appearance on NFL coach Bruce Arians.DeSean, as a fellow Philadelphia man, please get at me, we need to work on your wardrobe, stat.Pimpin A’int Easy.Future Mrs. Jeffers.Leave it to the musicians to totally look like fools.The story of Dick and Rick Hoyt is nothing short of amazing. Read up on it.When I think of really poor style at a prom, this is exactly what I envision it as.Clearly Mr. Phelps has done well for himself since the Olympics…I thought Steve Nash was the only white person in the NBA?I never thought I’d say this, but Nelly pulled off a great casual look here. Note the gray gator belt.Jason Sudeikis, what is your suit made out of? Learn to fix your collar before going on national television.If you are bringing your mom on the red carpet you damn well better wear a jacket with your vest. Love the gray spectators though.Dig the styling minus the sneakers. And that hair.Case in point why broader men need broader lapels, not narrow ones.An excellent look from Adrian Peterson. He would be much better served if the collar was larger and if he wasn’t wearing a belt with a vest.Fit of that jacket is on point.WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING HEATH BELL?Simple, classic, masculine via Joe Flacco.Killing it in the linen suit. But get yourself a wider tie next time.An aggressively great look on Mr. Kaepernick. I like the patriotic color scheme.Lebron – I love the bold play. But, if you’re going to wearing something that strong, make sure it fits you. The jacket is way to short, the pants too long and the bow tie too droopy.Oh. My. Christ.
