Eau de Jeter

2006_07_derekjeterdriven.jpg

Huh, what can you say about Derek Jeter releasing a men's fragrance through Avon? And even if your blood runs Bomber blue and white, would you want to smell like Derek Jeter? The scent will be called "Driven," and it's supposed to smell "citrussy and spicy." One selling point, though, is that the proceeds may go to his charity, the Turn 2 Foundation (mission statement: To create and support signature programs and activities that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "TURN 2" healthy lifestyles). However, there are jokes about smelling like a jock strap... and there are jokes about attracting some sexy club skanks... man, so many, so little time.

i wanna break out a checkers set to play on his suit.

 

Why is it tagged 'basketball'? He plays baseball.

 

sorry.... couldn't resist.... had to be the first...

Eau Dear

 

Oops - "basketball" is right above "baseball" in our category tags. Will change!

And I forgot to mention that there would jokes about his terrible sense of style. This suit is not bad relative to the other outfits he's worn out of Yankee Stadium.

 

Seems like derek needs a hair cut. Seems a little afro-puffy to me, makes his forehead look weird. what it is it 5" high?!?!?

 

I heard it actually smells like Jeter's sweaty balls and underarm musk with a touch of toe cheese. Atheletes never conjure up images of smelling good.

 

if it smells like Jeter, it smells like cock

 

at least he'll have something to do in the post-season.

 

Um, can we rename *THIS* post "Idiot of the week?"
