Professional-appearing = anal
Contrary to what EE bleated, it is
easy to
look professional...even an incompetent can do that with a credit card and some forethought. It is palpable the amount of goodwill and respect you 'buy' with the customers (fans, coaches, teams, etc) with a neat, professional appearance....if you look like a schlub, you might as well have booted your first three calls.
..that these blues on a national-TV stage do not bother (in some cases) with this
elementary step says much.
