I got one of these in the spring and wore it during spring ball and all summer long during workouts. protect your skin fellas. I am seeing more and more older coaches (younger ones too) that are having major issues with skin cancer etc. www.villagehatshop.com/sunbody_gus.html

tog,
Do you have a story to go along with this? It seems like something happened that made you more aware of this......

spray lotion for the noggin and neck. some body lotions have SPF protection in it and it keeps the skin smoooth and moist for the ladies

Peter King wrote about his cancer scare in his MMQB column a few weeks back. He was really stressing the sun block lotion. We practice from 3-8 at night so we don't have the prime sunlight hours so thats nice.

I am with you on the sombrero. Had one thing cut out of my forehead and probably will have a few more to go before I'm done.

Where was all this concern for skin cancer when my arse was spending 8-10 hours a day without a shirt on a hay wagon. Just one more "you're going to die" tactic to sell more sun screen. Best sun screen = a tree yea, yea, yea, I know skin cancer is real...I'm just not changing my life to avoid it, somehow I think it's the least of my problems. - funny story, a friend of mine, he's dark skinneded...we played softball one weekend and it was brutally hot outside. On monday he complained that his skin itched and hurt and I told him that he had a sun burn and he just laughed me off. On friday a car comes screaming down the road, he runs in the house worried, he's obviously in a panic, he's scared to death, he thinks he's dying. Got him settled down and he was concern was because his skin started falling off. He had started peeling. ;D LMAO!! He said he didn't know black folk could get a sunburn. That's what I'm workin with...LOL. Lol. He's not the only black person I've heard of that didn't know we can be sunburned. But, it is very uncommon for us. My dad was sunburned once. His friends made fun of him for a few days after that. And, I'm sure he got sick of hearing this question, "How in the world did you get a sunburn?!" Heck, I coach youth football. We've started practice. It's been 100+ degrees everyday. I, and my assistant coach(he's white) are the only coaches that wear hats! ;D I used to wear a tweed hat like Greg Norman. I couldn't find it. So, for now, I just wear a ball cap.

tog- do you have a picture of you or someone else wearing this so I can see what it really looks like? not me and this is the only pic i could find--this one has some frilly banding stuff around the edges of it for the coca cola cowboy set but you get the picture just a wide brimmed cowboy hat

Al Czervik: Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? [looks at Judge Smails, who's wearing the same hat] Al Czervik: Oh, it looks good on you though.

Have to agree with Tog on this one - went through 3 sessions with the doc this summer for "pre-cancerous masses". No more visor for me, already had a hat (more of the Greg Norman variety than the urban sombrero...) and now I wear it every time I go on the field. Your choice gentlemen, protect your skin or turn into leatherface by the time you're ____ (fill in the age).

Hey, nice hat...I bet you get a free bowl soup if you buy one.
Looks good on you though.
This season I am wearing flight pants and long sleeve shirts during the summer. Mosquito bites and sunburn saver

long sleeve t's sunscreen bath big hat sunglasses
I had a dermotalogist visit a couple of years ago, you know annual connect the dots with my moles, freeze off a couple of warts, etc... he cut out a irregular mole. No biggy, had a couple like that or got rid of ones that bugged me. Lo and behold 3 days later got the call to come back. Laid me open with a hole so big that I could lay my thumb it the spot on my back. It bled for 2 weeks it was so deep. Thank God he got it all.
Don't mess with the sun guys. Every time I look in the mirror when I get out of the shower, I think about this:
One more visit like that one and the doctor is going to be the one who decides that my career is over.
