Didn't even know it was broken. I'll be all over Phx like a cheap suit until it's fixed.
No, I wear my Rams Super Bowl champion hat, that my brother sent me, most of the time. Here in Skins, Ravens, Steelers territory that at times leads to some strange looks. Or maybe it's not the hat, eh?

ZZ Top superfans are directed to
a new eBay item: Handmade hats similar to the one
Billy Gibbons wears are on sale now. They’re a little pricey at $375 but, hey, everybody loves a sharp-dressed man, right?
Known as a nudu, or Bamileke beanie, it’s been a staple of Gibbons’ wardrobe for several years now — ever since he gave his Stetson 10-gallon to the leader of the Bamileke tribe in Cameroon during a break while on tour with ZZ Top.
Well, actually, it was more like a trade. Gibbons only handed over his cowboy hat after requesting one of the group’s distinctive hats in return from the chief.
“He came straight up to me and said, ‘I like the hat,’” Gibbons told the
London Telegraph, back in 2008. “I said, ‘now, wait a minute.’ I said, ‘Chief, I’m from Texas. We do a little horse trading over these matters.’”
Gibbons, who is
set to reunite with his pre-ZZ Top bandmates in Moving Sidewalks on March 30 at the B.B. King Club and Grill in New York City, has been wearing a nudu hat ever since — and now you can, too.
