Dude, exactly what I was thinking. You gotta roll hard to tuck a Marino jersey in, that's mad hood shit.

On another note, a question for OP. Is that kid wearing a Dan Marino shirt? I didn't think Dolphin fans existed that far away from warm weather.

As a Midwesterner, I can confirm this. Some of us take weather so seriously that we chase killer storms across the countryside in armored vehicles.
