Rookie Hazing Photos
I hope AN's server doesn't melt.

Do Ryan's horns look like....? And a wand? Swoon.
I think Greg is packing around a beer. And Brad, I love you to bits and pieces, but you are scary, dude.
I'm slightly disappointed.
EDIT: Large photo links!
EDIT 2: Adding one more
EDIT 3: Brad and Greggles large photo link!
EDIT 4: Saved the large photos for the rest of the world to see after Sportsline gets rid of them.

AHHHHHHH!!
Is Dale holding a beer in the first photo? Very lady-like.

Okay, never mind.
I just noticed that a lot of the guys are holding beers.

Yeah, I thought that was funny.
I guess they figure if they’re gonna make them cross-dress, they can at least have a drink while they’re doing it.

Sweeeet.
Where’d you find that last one? The one I see on yahoo is much smaller.
Okay, name those rookies: Cunningham (from what Slusser said about the wig), I don’t know who the man in black is, Greggles, Gio?, Ziggy, Carlos (ahaha, adorable), ?, who’s the curly blonde?, RyRy (the slacker w/o the wig), Dale in the green?, and I fail on the last two. This is kinda hard.
by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:05 PM PDT 0 recs
from the Slusser post (via the DLD)
Greg Smith: "skimpy candy-striped nurses outfit"
Dana Eveland: "tight police woman’s costume, complete with handcuffs"
Carlos Gonzalez: "sailor dress with ribbons on his stockings"
Gio Gonzalez: "Swiss-miss style dress, with ribbons in his hair"
Sean Gallagher: "French maid"
Ryan Sweeney: "devil girl" minus wig
Jerry Blevins: Hermione Granger…. "So wrong it’s right."
Aaron Cunningham: "very small cocktail dress of some sort and a blue wig"

Okay, the bigger pics help a lot.
Pretty much positive that’s Travis in the Batman thing, in the back, but I didn’t think he would have to do it this year. That confused me. And that’s Cliff on the far right, with the little fairy wand. He looks cute.

I think Travis is doing it this year
because he missed the end of last year with elbow surgery.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Definitely.
This is bugging me: who’s the guy with the long black wig on the left… Devine, maybe? I’m not really sure exactly what he looks like. And the guy on the right in the cowgirl getup, I can’t figure that out either. I think Baisley is the mostly hidden one, with the black wig and wearing something blue…

I think Jerry’s only in the last pic, the tall one in the back with the red hat and blond wig and the wand.

Mmm... the man in black doesn't look tall enough to be Jerry.
Plus that doesn’t really look like a Hermoine costume. I dunno.

Yeah, I think Jerry must be the one in the blonde wig & red hat
Very tall. I think the all-in-black one is just a witch, but not Hermione.

What about the guy crouching in the front?
With the purple wig and wearing something pinkish, holding his beer in an awkward place. Could that be Jeff Gray?

Plus the cowgirl doesn’t have any wacky facial hair… but he looks sooo familiar. Driving me crazy.

Yeah, they *all* have very white legs.
Also, is that a tattoo on Cunningham’s right arm? I guess so, or else it’s just a huge bruise…

I love that they are all wearing shorts underneath
They should all be wearing ’hose. That would be awesome.

I'm pretty sure Aaron would get arrested if he didn't have shorts on.

Ryan has male model legs.
…which is a slightly creepy thing to say, but in the first group pic, he looks much more model-like than the other guys… and really, they can’t keep their eyes off him. Except Dale. Too busy drinking.

Kimberly..classic comment…….anyways Greg is always sexy..even dressed as a woman and holding a beer. Ryan DOES have nice legs. Meow Ryan!!!! I personally think the rookies are tastey looking characters…I was scared by a couple though. Very scared! Brad has now scarred me for life. Love him buuuuuut..wow.

This is the best fanpost EVER!!!
Among my favorites: Sean G, RyRy of course, Smith has chicken legs BIG TIME….lol. I seriously did not know Daric was that wide in the waist and I didn’t know Cunningham was that big!!! lol Sean is probably the thinnest, well other than Smith. LOL
Quick question: Do the players go directly to Seattle or do they go home since it’s an off-day?
