I've always wondered why this guy wears a bow tie. As a general rule, I don't like people who wear bow ties on a regular basis. I've seen Bruce Bowen wear one too when he does some work for ESPN. It seems like they're just trying too hard to stand out or be different. They're probably trying to look intelligent or look like some kind of pseudo-intellectual (see Tucker Carlson and Kenneth Bacon). Newsflash: You look like a bunch of idiots.
All I remember of Keith Askins was he was college teammate of Robert Horry. And he they made him a little bit better than he needed to be in NBA Live '95. (Yeah the game with Robert Horry on the cover Spoiler
You are very critical of what people wear. Makes me want to question your masculinity. Honestly, If a guy wants to wear a bow tie, well, that is just peachy. Why analyze and make assumptions?
As a musician in an orchestra, I am very comfortable and at home wearing a bow tie; it's part of the gig. This is just one example of probably limitless reasons why people would wear a bow tie. Probably best not to randomly choose a reason why he's doing, and then call it idiotic.
thanks god this is only your opinion. btw, can we get a picture of your closet so we can offer some styling tips?
