The best children’s movies are those that speak not just to kids, but to people of all ages. And the same is true of underwear. Packers linebacker Nick Barnett proved that on Sunday with this tweet, which linked to this photo. It’s not often that one sees underpants that are so awesome on so many levels, and my pledge to you is that I will purchase a pair of these before the day is out. Hope they come in silk boxers.
Later Sunday, we discover why Barnett was in the children’s department: He had his kids in tow. Warning: Do not look at this photo unless you want to risk overdosing on cuteness. Little Barnett is a living Margaret Keane painting; how can any offensive lineman ever do harm to his dad in the future, knowing that these wide-eyed peepers may be watching? I just wouldn’t have it in me.
And the Grammy for worst way to start a week goes to … Monday! (Applause sign)
