One of America’s great poets, André Lauren Benjamin, once offered some thoughts on what it means to be “cool.” I quote him now with great reverance:
Hey! Alright now
Alright now, fellas (yeah?)
Now, what cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)
I can’t hear you
I say what’s, what’s cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
If anything in the sports world can equate to being “ice cold” — other than NFL playoff games and, you know, sports played on ice — it’s all white road uniforms.
