    Beightol is pretty in pink
    As Larry Beightol overcomes two knee surgeries he is forced to coach from a golf cart on the practice field. The offensive line love their coach so much so that they ignore his temporary handicap, to give his lone mode of transportation a good paint job.

    <u>August 9, Free Press:</u> The white cart had been painted a salmon pink, and it had been given some black accents -- a couple of racing stripes up the middle, the initials "LB" on the front and sides, plus a couple of inside-joke sayings on the roof.

    "It's kind of like a Miami race car," center Dominic Raiola said. "It's got that Miami touch to it. 'The Pink Flamingo.' "
    ...
    "I didn't paint anything," left tackle Jeff Backus said. "I don't know who did it."

    "We still don't know who did that yet," center Brock Gutierrez said. "We're trying to find out."

    Left guard Ross Verba said he thought it was offensive coordinator Mike Martz and defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson. "They were talking about it at lunch," Verba said. "I overheard them. I think they sneaked out here yesterday. I think they had a few beers and painted it."

    We all know Martz has a sense of humor. After all, he took a job in Detroit. ROFL!?

    I am still trying to figure out what the thread title has to do w/ ANYTHING. Even Sonny Crockett couldn't figure it out.

    Yes. I can now. Thanks. Art deco, pastels, South beach. It took a minute for me to get the reference. Raiola is no Dennis Miller IMO.
