Have you gotten the one from SDS yet?

I've seen umpires with the Phiten necklaces on, too. Any comments there?

Personally, I think the "code" can use some updating. I don't really see anything wrong with the bracelet or the necklaces, etc. I don't wear one, but I'm not a jewelry guy for the most part (I don't even wear my wedding band all the time).

I could care less about the jewelry issue. As long as the uniform is right and the jewelry isn't over the top like what Deon Sanders wore, accessories really don't matter to me. I may not like it personally but I have no issues with it professionally. It's just too nitpicky for me.

Gullibility is not unique to players.
