On Saturday, France and England emerged victorious in their opening matches of the 2012 Six Nations Rugby Championship. Last year, Michael and Roger hosted a live pregame show with former NFL star Hugh Douglas. We at Men in Blazers cherish all kinds of football. Enjoy.

For those who only indulge in our weekly Grantland podcast, here’s a taste of our live SiriusXM program. It’s like the pod, but more tangents. Here, Rog describes his rapturous experience watching St. Landon’s Everton.

Merry Christmas one and all.
We wish all GFOPs a 2012 packed with health, happiness and the best things in life: football, blazers, Boddies and the occasional wafer. Here’s to the year ahead.

Behold, indeed. Our deepest respect for Mrs. Edwards’ ability to duplicate the finest tailoring. Jurgen Klinsmann has only one question — will she do passports?
Eric from Solvang, California writes:
Recently, my mother purchased a blazer for my birthday. After seeing I was a fan of the Men in Blazers’ Facebook page, she scoured the globe to find a MIB patch. As my mum is an American, she lacks the merchant spirit of you lot across the pond, and was unable to procure a favorable manufacturing contract from the mills in Shaanxi Provence. Undeterred, she did the next best thing and made her own patch. Behold the resurgence of American textile manufacturing.
Hans, you will be in the Whitney Biennial if you keep this up.
“In a brazen attempt to become a Great Friend of the Pod and acquire an official MIB patch, I’ve taken the liberty to start your Boddingtons sponsorship campaign. Attached is the first print ad I recommend you start running immediately.”
Cheers, Hans Janowitz
Thanks for the promo, gents. MLS Cup Champions in Blazers.
Thanks to GFOP Mark Evitt, a proper telegram is on its way to Crap Part of SoHo.
Dear Men in Blazers,
A tall man once said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I am not a tall man, kind sirs, but I have had cause to congregate with tall men from time to time, and I now consider you, the Men in Blazers, among the tallest people I don’t know.
Should you deem me worthy of receiving the MIB email, I can promise you a substantial emotional commitment to the pod and all that it stands for. I will execute my duties carefully, competently and curiously. Should I fail to meet the standards of superior cognitive agility that you demand, then I shall bow out gracefully with the request that you kindly tell the press our parting was due to irreconcilable differences of artistic vision.
You have yourself a fine day.
- Joseph Timber Jr.

Dear Footie Savants,
I am a huge fan of the pod and would like to commit to buying 20 shares of Everton to make it America’s Team. My only request is that this man in the video above call all of the games from the booth.
Cheers, Tim C.
