The look is great and very smart,just to go off topic though,please dont hate me Nole fans,i think Noles a very handsome guy,but im thinking lately when i watch him how thin he looks,when i looked at pictures of him a couple of years ago,he had more weight on him,much more healthy IMO,i wish he would go back to that,still a knockout good looking guy though.
