Giant Man-Uggs For Every Athlete in Arizona

By Chris Mottram
Chris will be blogging from somewhere in Arizona all week where apparently a game is happening. He promises to not once mention anything that might actually occur on the field of play.⇥
For unknown reasons, an invite was required in order to enter the “athlete and talent gift room.” Because we are neither athletic nor talented, we did not have an invite. Nevertheless, we were able to finagle our way in. Probably due mostly to my good looks and the fact that my compadre (“The Bulldog”) told the doorman I’m from One Tree Hill.
Once inside, I was incredibly disappointed with the free stuff they’re giving to the more fortunate this week. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but basically there was age defying lotion, a Garner Fructis hair salon area, some cubic zirconia diamonds, a few watches that Larry Johnson would be ashamed just to look at, and Uggs.
And by “Uggs,” I mean huge massive, size 18 Uggs (as modeled by Kristen -- Ugg’s PR manager -- who was a lovely person and probably the highlight of the swag tour ... call me):

For whatever reason, I was fascinated with the idea of men wearing Uggs. Mostly because I had no clue they made them for the male sex. But then again, up until yesterday I had no idea you could make $100,000 a week dealing crack rock, so I’m learning a lot out here.↵
