nearly 800 people wrote to debrett’s asking whether you can indeed polish off a big mac on the train . the answer is no . debrett’s now says it is not only bad form to eat on the bus , tube , whatever ( agreed ) , but that it is also off to put your make - up on when in a shared carriage , because it “makes you look disorganised” . what nonsense . i think actually it makes you look rather well organised , because you have thought about bringing your make - up ( and a mirror ) with you . obviously adherents must be advised that nail varnish is always a risky business , and apart from that woman i was sitting behind on a hull train the other day who sprayed her hair with dry shampoo , thus masking the entire carriage with noxious fumes , sitting quietly applying mascara is hardly antisocial .
they may have pixellated out your eyes and nose , but not your subway peri peri chicken sub or your sense of injustice . yes , you’ve been shamed on the internet for eating on the bus – but was it acceptable in the first place ? not according to debrett’s . “it’s inconsiderate to eat smelly food in a confined environment , ” it says . what about applying makeup on the tube ? “it can jeopardise that all - important first impression . ” unless , of course , the all - important first impression you want to create is “bitter clown” .
in a recent university experiment only 20 per cent of london tube passengers offered to give up their seat to a visibly pregnant woman . according to debrett’s , passengers should always offer to give up their seat to any individual that is pregnant , elderly , or clearly in need . it is important to remember , however , that it is just as rude to aggressively decline the offer of a seat as it is to not offer a seat .
by 16th century styles of warfare and armour had changed , and heraldry was less important on the battlefield . however it remained popular , and many people petitioned to bear arms . in addition to royal houses , noble families , and knights , ecclesiastical authorities such as bishops were also armigers . books were published identifying families with their coats of arms and lineage . the most famous of these is debrett ' s peerage , first published in 1769 .

a new and rich seam for debrett’s is obviously mobile - phone use . apparently , more than 700 people contacted the publisher to ask about the etiquette of the smartphone . “it is always rude to pay more attention to your phone than a person in the flesh , ” thunders the publisher , which was founded in 1769 , quite a few years before the world’s first nokia . correct . it also says it is bad form to use your phone in the theatre or cinema . also correct . is there anything more obnoxious than some character in the row beside you switching on their phone and tapping away at that illuminated screen while you are trying to focus on a play ?

icymi : lxm - mll deal means players in each league can play both . who are you most excited to see in an lxm jersey ? !
let’s start with the basics . the mll has 8 teams ( two of them new in 2012 ) and the lxm pro tour has two teams . that makes a true comparison hard right there . in pro league years , the mll is like a 20 year old , ready to explore the world , and the lxm is 14 , and getting ready for high school . this isn’t a knock on the lxm . did you go to high school ? you did ? almost everyone does , it’s a stage .
the lxm pro tour has been getting mixed reviews both online , and in conversations i’ve had with a number of people in the lacrosse world , but the fact is that the lxm is still quite young , and when you look at the progress they’ve made , and lessons they’ve learned , their growth and improvements are quite impressive . let’s try to look at this fledgling pro lacrosse venture with a little perpsective , openness and honesty ! ! ! !
since its inception in 2009 , there are now 12 stops for the tour , going as far east as atlanta and florida .
this is the time of year when there is a lull in the professional lacrosse world . the mll has wrapped up and the nll preseason hasn’t officially started . right about now is typically when the lxm pro tour has started up in the past to bring high level lacrosse to non - traditional areas around the country . we reached out to adrenaline , who is the force behind lxm to see what their…
bradman’s seven goals are a new lxm record . if anybody’s going to break that mark during this tour , stx and sole will meet for the first time in 2013 on january 5 - 6 in del mar , california .
starbucks has never spelled kyle harrison’s ( @ kyleharrison18 ) name right , and each spelling is funnier than the last . his lxm pro tour teammate andrew casimir ( @ acasimir5 ) is often the punch line of k18’s jokes , whether it is for being a knicks’ fan or for trying to make it in the rap game .
phoenix , az played host to the critical game five of the lxm pro tour . this marks the first time lxm visited phoenix . in front of an electric crowd at the reach 11 sports complex , team stx and team sole battled in classic lacrosse fashion . although both sides made huge runs , it was team stx who came storming back from a 9 - 1 deficit to secure a 16 - 10 victory .
ex - terp max ritz scores last - minute winner for stx in lxm . . .
so i guess i shouldn’t be surprised when people start comparing the lxm pro tour to major league lacrosse . both organizations pay their players , both have sponsors , both are pulling from a similar talent pool , and both play at least some of their games over the summer . both are also blessed with some serious d3 talent .

lxm 619 in coronado , ca is a wrap . the day of lacrosse started early with the coronado classic which featured over 80 teams across five age divisions and on seven fields throughout the island . saturday night concluded with an exciting lxm pro game where team stx took down team sole 17 - 14 .
shamel and rhamel bratton starred for team nitro , in what i believe is their first official lxm pro event ( don ' t believe they played in the orange county contest ) . they each finished with one goal apiece . of note , rhamel bratton wore no . 33 instead of his traditional no . 3 , in expected difference of teammate chazz woodson , the lxm pro veteran who has dibs on the number .
and that goes for just about everything the lxm and mll have to offer . rosters in the lxm are more flexible than they are in the mll , but that doesn’t mean we see more turnover in the lxm . both lxm teams have more consistent and returning players than some mll teams from last year , and less than others , so it’s an issue both leagues face , just differently .

what makes the lxm much more interesting to keep an eye on this year is their partnership with the mll . typically players have had to choose one or the other as they could not play in both leagues . this led to most top college players opting for the mll if they were ever given the chance . most is the key word there as a few years ago , peter baum sent shock waves through the mll world when he took his top draft pick in the mll and tewaaraton award off to the lxm pro tour instead . because of this typical movement of players , the lxm pro teams were regarded by many in the lacrosse world as second tier players who just couldn’t make it in the mll .
the ritz brothers , brothers scott and craig hochstadt and kyle harrison are the co - founders of lxm pro . the tour launched in los angeles on nov . , 21 , 2009 and then hit austin , texas , on april 10 . the next events are slated for jacksonville ( oct . 17 ) , san diego [ jan . 8 ] and las vegas ( march 5 ) ,

after several years in the sport ' s most established pro league , major league lacrosse , harrison joined some other entrepreneurial lacrosse players to forge their own path in southern california . they affiliated with adrenaline , a san diego - based apparel line and retail chain , to form lxm pro , a roving lacrosse festival that includes a youth tournament series , lacrosse camps and a professional game between two teams .
this is the time of year when there is a lull in the professional lacrosse world . the mll has wrapped up and the nll preseason hasn’t officially started . right about now is typically when the lxm pro tour has started up in the past to bring high level lacrosse to non - traditional areas around the country . we reached out to adrenaline , who is the force behind lxm to see what their plans are . unfortunately nothing official is set , so we still will have to wait to have the many questions answered surrounding the newest version of lxm . the good news is they gave indication that there is still something in the works , so hopefully that news will come out soon .
but the lxm didn’t just give up after the decals were pinched ! they must have gone to a hardware store and bought mailbox numbers to slap on the helmets in the place of the decals . did they look great ? no . but it shows that even in the face of adversity , the lxm is willing to be creative and think outside the box . and that really bodes well for the tour . sure , it’s a pretty insignificant issue , but it shows that the lxm is paying attention to detail , and that gives me some majorly positive vibes .
the fall season opener will mark the debut of the new uniforms designed in collaboration by adrenaline and champion . lxm pro 801 is an event you do not want to miss ! be sure to buy your tickets today at urltoken or watch it live online on at urltoken .
kyle harrison ( johns hopkins ) added a goal for team stx , which improved to 2 - 0 against maverik in this year’s lxm pro tour series . former syracuse star tim desko finished with three goals for team stx , the final one a spectacular between - the - legs shot off a turnover in front of the maverik net with 2 : 30 left . former chesapeake bayhawk johnny christmas had three assists for maverik . the game was tied at 8 at halftime .
that’s what the lxm tour is all about . it’s not about who has the brightest gear , or who can do the coolest move . it’s about enforcing the foundation that the sport was built on . it’s about taking a player , no matter the level , and helping him get to the next level . the pro’s that are on the tour are excellent sources . these players have played at the top colleges in the countries against the top players . they then turn around and take time with younger players to help them achieve the next level of lacrosse . it is now the young players turn to take the knowledge they were given , and make utah lacrosse better .
developing the concept for the tour and watching it come to life was so rewarding . we got to take lacrosse to a whole other part of the country and introduce so many people to the sport .
the lxm pro games are the athletic highlight of a traveling festival that includes youth tournaments and lacrosse camps . originally envisioned as glitzy events that paired lacrosse with live music — like the extreme - sports tours that served as the group ' s inspiration — the weekends have become more focused on the sport .
in the end , what we really learned was that the lxm would see failure along with success , and that as they grew , the goal had to be to cut back on the failures and increase the successes . this is an obvious statement , but some pro leagues ( like the nll ) seem perfectly content to just keep on their current trajectory of mediocrity ( talking about the league here , not the players ) , so when a tour or league is willing to really look at themselves and make some changes , it gives me more hope . the lxm is definitely willing to do this , and all you need to do is consider their latest philadelphia event .

i brought up vegas because it’s going to be a very different event than philly . but it showcases a broader point ; that the lxm pro tour needs to focus on each and every event like it’s their first . they need to work within the region to build support , and find unique ways to ingratiate their new idea into the hearts and souls of potential new fans . and if you look at the trajectory they’ve been on , and the recent changes we saw in philly , it looks like that is just what they are doing .
brendan porter makes a great case for pro lacrosse . here ' s a player who had a solid but unheralded career at rutgers . on the pro field , however , with some years of growth behind him , his athleticism and wicked shot on the run stand out . one of those mid - major players that professional lacrosse thrives on .
in lxm pro , harrison plays for team stx , named for the baltimore - based gear maker . the teams will play at least 13 times this year from san diego to philadelphia , up from eight in 2012 . the other team will be sponsored by another lacrosse manufacturer , but that deal hasn ' t been finalized .
sam bradman of salisbury scored 99 points this year as a d3 midfielder , and finished his career with 304 total points . within 30 minutes of salisbury winning their second straight national title , it was announced that their star player would forego the mll , where he was drafted , and join the lxm pro instead . only a few days later it was announced that sam bradman had signed a 1 - year deal sponsorship deal with stx , his new contract employer and an lxm sponsor .
the lxm still faces challenges . they need to continually draw in good numbers and find a list of locations that definitely work . then they can continue to experiment in new locations every second or third event . excellent promotion goes hand in hand with site selection , and i dropped some ideas yesterday on how the lxm could benefit from an nba lockout , and one of those ideas centered on getting lxm games on local tv before the lxm plays an event in their region . this idea is doable even without an nba lockout , but i mention it again today because local outreach is going to be really important for these guys .
from tonight ' s 410 matchup , lxm pro makes a case that the world could use high - paced , athletic lacrosse like the game represented tonight . since these teams don ' t practice much , both team ' s leaned on their athleticism to guide them . the physicality and speed team nitro and team blue showcased were exceptional .
at the very least , i like the lxm to stick around for at least another couple years , and at a bare minimum i think we’re talking 2 more tour seasons . it could go the way of the usfl at that point , although i seriously doubt it . there is real potential there in many ways , even if you don’t see it . that brings us to the other option , where the lxm takes off on the west coast in a major way , and becomes a modern lacrosse fixture , much like the mll has done back east .
max ritz , who lives in los angeles , helped create lxm pro to spread the sport in non - traditional areas , mostly in the west and the southwest . his group decided to bring it to the east coast and philly was the perfect place – a budding lacrosse hotbed that can get forgotten behind the likes of baltimore and new york .
this latter result seems a little more likely if you’ve been paying attention closely . stx has been a mainstay in the lxm , and more of their athletes are opting to play in the tour instead of the mll . those athletes that do opt for the mll seem a little more likely to be dropped as sponsored players , which can be rough i’m sure , but makes sense from business , growth and marketing perspectives .
the lxm is still forming an identity , and still working out their partner relationships . they are trying new things , and going to back to old approaches that yielded solid results . the oc event was the only stand alone lxm game scheduled , and the fans still came to watch in the thousands . it kind of looked like the long island lizards game i took in last friday . the lxm is making progress , and if they can continue to find an identity , improve and stay consistent , i think they have a solid future .
the high scoring pro event saw 15 different players cash in goals , including game mvp kyle harrison banging home 6 goals and 1 assist to bring home the mvp sole bike ( yes , a bike ) .
today major league lacrosse named the lxm pro players who will be on mll rosters in 2014 . the new partnership between the only professional field lacrosse leagues in north american allows players to play in both leagues . the two most interesting notes are that no goalies were signed , and billy bitter was not picked up by a team . boston the cannons theme this entire off season has been upgrading their…
major league lacrosse and lxm pro have a strained relationship . the two compete for talent , sponsorship dollars and to be seen as the vehicle that can push lacrosse into the mainstream . their rivalry has become something of a proxy fight between gear manufacturers trying to reach the rapidly growing youth market for lacrosse , which the sporting goods manufacturers association said is the fastest - growing team sport in the united states .
the quick deal with the lxm and stx alone make for interesting topics of conversation given sam bradman’s d3 roots , and if the mll can draft players before they even graduate , this should not be a problem . as to the stx sponsorship , if you choose to go with the lxm , stx is an obvious choice , and vice versa , but we’ll get to that later .
with the lxm , manufacturers like stx , easton , reebok and others all have access to game footage of their guys wearing their stuff . guys can wear their line of gear , and it provides a strong “in” with an exploding lacrosse scene outside of the traditional areas , namely the west coast . via the lxm , manufacturers are tapping into the next huge lacrosse markets early . honestly , it’s brilliant , it’s subtle , and it is why , at least in my opinion , the lxm will carry on for years . the investment towards future returns is simply worth it .
i was quite impressed with the intensity and physicality of the game . fans were treated to several big hits , flashy takeaway checks , and ripped corners . here is an unofficial scoring recap from lxm 619 :
harrison ' s affiliation with stx dates back to his turning pro , when he immediately signed an endorsement deal with the baltimore - based gear maker . but harrison was unable to use stx equipment when he played in major league lacrosse .
“when it first started , lxm was a combination between lacrosse and music . there was always a concert involved . now we are at the level where we are doing it around youth tournaments , ” garvey said .

maybe lxm is owned by steinfeld as well . makes sense since they discontinued the la riptide and san francisco dragons in 2008 . lxm was started in 2009 . it would be a genius marketing move by steinfeld , who had already built a billion dollar empire through his fitness brand . mll expansion into the west coast was too risky after the recession , so then try a different more loose angle that has a much lower overhead . in 10 years you ' ll have a merger much like the afl / nfl merger in 1966 . if steinfeld doesn ' t own it , then whatever . lxm is great for the growth of lacrosse out west .

but none of those things happened , and somehow , it’s now sam bradman’s time to shine . i think he’ll be able to do so nicely in the lxm for at least the near future , if he so chooses .
that also makes comparisons difficult as the mll is trying to breed local , consistent fans . same mll place , same mll time . fans for life . it’s the consistency approach . the lxm , on the other hand , is partnering with tournaments and events to help draw in crowds , but really , they’re bringing the show to the people , and trying to create fans of the lxm brand . two totally different approaches , and i don’t know that you can say one is “better” than the other .
these guys aren’t your prima donna , hot shot super stars . these are the kind of guys who will take players one - on - one and instruct them personally . and they will repeat until you understand it . and you can tell they love doing it . watching andrew casimir instruct young long pole players , it was evident that doing the tour is what he loves doing .
and they’re going to need to be creative here . when the lxm travels to vegas , they can’t craft uniforms to play off of local pro sports teams , because there aren’t any pro sports teams there . they could go with one unlv themed team and one minor league baseball or hockey team , but that’s not really what vegas is all about . vegas is about gambling . so i’m kind of hoping that a casino will be the name sake sponsor of each team , and that people who are staying in either of these two hotels / casinos get free tickets to the game . casinos get promoted , the lax teams get names and color schemes , and hopefully some new fans are drawn in . or the casinos could give tickets to all of their employees , and not patrons , and those off could go see the game for free .
like i said , the two are at very different stages , and the stages where they play their games exemplify this . mll teams have a home field , whereas lxm teams are either east or west , and the home team depends on where the game is played .
“they were so excited about the game . utah was my favorite stop on the tour for that reason . the crowd was amazing , everyone was supporting the event , and we ended up on sports center . you couldn’t script it any better than that . being able to want to give back , it’s not like you are forced to do it , if you want to do it you can . ”
, is that almost every single one of the questions asked above ( except the concern about two leagues ) was asked of the mll when it started . and they’re still here . yes , they definitely made some major changes , and had their own ups and downs , but the mll is still around , and it doesn’t look like it’s going away . so what does the future hold for the lxm , can the lxm exist for a sustained period of time , and are they making the right adjustments to see sustainable long - term success ?
the lxm’s first ever event out in orange county was really a huge success . they pulled in some high quality players , got two sets of pretty good uniforms , custom helmets , ha some minor celebs in attendance , and had a pretty rocking after - party / concert . the stands were packed and it felt like pro outdoor lacrosse was back in cali . the event really went off extremely well , which was good , but it also set a very high standard , and not every event after lived up to that level . after a small grace period though , people then began to blast the lxm for a perceived drop in quality , and the jacksonville event did nothing to help this perception . of course others acted like it was a total success . but because it was still so early… the rushed judgments were a tad unfair on both sides .
whatever happens with lxm this year , it is good for lacrosse as a whole if it returns . hopefully it can still help expose more people across the country to the game being played at an elite level . we will be sure to add updates when more information becomes available .
and the lxm provides this outlet quite nicely . it’s flexible , with some guys playing all the time , and others only coming out for a game or two . there are no serious coaches screaming at you or busting you over a fancy missed behind the back . the only people that matter are one’s teammates and the people in the stands , and while both teams want to win , the real goal is to have fun and put a great product on the field . it’s an interesting balance between pro and exhibition , and at this point in lacrosse’s growth and development , it seems very appropriate .
this week’s comparison has nothing to do with playing styles or ability – we’re stepping off the field for a social media comparison . denver outlaws attackman matt gibson ( @ itsmattgibson ) is the funniest lacrosse player on twitter . next to los angeles lakers point guard kendall marshall ( @ kbutter5 ) he’s the funniest pro athlete on twitter .
some will point to sam bradman joining the lxm as a sign that he might not want any of that . those people usually view the lxm as a sideshow , but to me , it’s just a different approach to things , and still in its fledgling stages . it might not go anywhere ( of course many people also said that about the mll ) , but only time will tell . for now , it’s kind of like steve young opting to play in the usfl , except we don’t know how this one will turn out . and either way , young still became a huge super star .
sam bradman ( 7g , 1a ) earned mvp honors at last weekend’s lxm 702 event in las vegas , leading team stx to a 22 - 20 victory over team sole . connor predicted that stx would win by 3 , which was close , but his 15 - 12 scoreline got surpassed pretty quickly .
i don’t know that bradman will be lacrosse’s steve young , but i certainly think he has the potential . without a huge d1 name to overshadow him this summer , bradman could truly make a name for himself , and perhaps even do the same for the lxm and stx , all at the same time .
eventually the rule was changed to disallow a dive where a player landed in the crease for the sake of goalie protection . you could still dive through the crease as long as didn’t land in it , but the rule change effectively killed the dive shot . it still exists in the pro leagues , and in most box lacrosse versions of the game .
i’ll be following his progress closely , because right now , for me , sam bradman is the most interesting man in lacrosse . i predicted that an a - list celebrity would buy a pro lacrosse franchise , but missed a couple others calls , although i did nail salisbury going undefeated and winning their second nc . will my bradman prediction work out as well ?
the other positive thing to take away from lxm philly was that mike powell came out to play . the obvious portion of this positivity is that people love watching mike powell play , and the lxm gave them this opportunity . but the less obvious positive aspect is that it gave mike powell a place to play , and he loves to play lacrosse . before you say , “but mikey could play in the mll if he wanted to” , let me just say this… i don’t think he wants to . his video interview with european lacrosse magazine made this pretty clear . he’s looking for something different , and less structured than the mll , and the interesting thing here is that i don’t think he’s alone ! ! !
the mll has found an identity already , which makes sense as they’ve been around for over a decade now and running pretty smoothly . the league has found some pretty solid ownership groups , and most seem to be in it for the long haul . the sponsorship money keeps the league afloat ( like it does for many pro leagues ) and the fans seem to be increasing both in number and loyalty .
both organizations have something to offer us , as well as major obstacles to overcome . both are also still quite young . there was a time , only recently , when i remember my friends used to dream of a pro lacrosse league . well , now we have two of them , and i’d recommend checking at least one out , especially if it’s close by , to everyone . it’s much better than just sitting back and waxing sophomoric .
today’s event featured an hour of clinics run by the lxm pros , who drilled 200 boys on the finer techniques of dodging , shooting , defense , face - offs and groundballs . the crowd was then treated to a live performance by fortune family , some dj music and the feature musical entertainment from the popular d . c . rapper , wale . there also was a huge vendor village and plenty of refreshments .
there is little to no doubt that sam bradman could have made it in major league lacrosse . there are a number of salisbury players in the league right now , and bradman is definitely on their level . unlike the brattons , college stars who also went to the lxm directly over mll straight out of school , he isn’t dealing with off the field issues in any way , so for many , his decision seems puzzling .
they wanted to build their careers away from a league they felt was too restrictive . major league lacrosse began as a collaboration between jake steinfeld of body by jake fame and dave morrow , who founded warrior lacrosse , a michigan - based gear maker . the league ' s teams have been used to exclusively market warrior ' s gear . in other pro sports , apparel and equipment makers pay a rights fee to be included in the pool of brands players are allowed to use .
more people than ever have the opportunity to see paid , post - collegiate lacrosse players play great lacrosse , and yet somehow , as a community , we seem to be searching for a way to tear one down or pick a side . why ? between the lxm and the mll , there are only about 200 pros… do we really want less ? are we already at the stage where the two leagues are competing with each other for fans ? are we that desperate ?
i’ll start off by saying this ; not many d3 players get signed on as sponsored athletes . even more d3 players don’t have two pro leagues vying for their time . now if peter baum were a senior and colgate had made it further , even to the final four , we might not be having this conversation . if duke had won it all , cj costabile would undoubtedly be the subject of more attention . heck , if mike sawyer had scored the way eric lusby did , people might not be talking about bradman at all .
sam bradman comes from an “exotic” but well - known smaller school , and he plays with a certain style that is sure to electrify crowds . he’s well known in new york ( he’s from canton , ny ) and maryland . you can see the box game in his play , and his toughness is unquestionable . bradman regularly takes his opponents’ best shots and keeps on trucking . he is quick , smart , conditioned , and has a great stick . he’s perfect for pro lacrosse , and mll fans would eat him up because of his smaller size , and ability to play big .
the mll will continue to get more serious . more teams will be added to the league , teams will practice together more , the season will be lengthened , and eventually player salaries will start to climb back up . but in the meantime , the mll will have to ask its players to give more in the meantime . and there are guys out there who want to give , but just not in the way the mll has envisioned , and that’s actually a good thing ! it means the best players in the world will continue to have more opportunities to play , and not less . it means that more people will be able to go and watch a pro game , and not less . these are both great opportunities for the future of our sport .
the big takeaway here is that the lxm is actively looking for ways to get hometown sports fans more engaged in their offering . they started this trend by bringing local players on to the teams whenever they went to a new city or area , but the uniform design and helmet decal ideas are another step in this direction . i don’t personally think the old school look was , well , old school enough , and i’m not sure the decals were totally spot on , but the effort and direction were definitely there , and this means good things for the future . they’ve formulated an approach and are now tweaking their message . i approve . if they go back to philly next time with powder blue uniforms with white and maroon trim , i’ll be sold . i would also accept one team wearing steelers colors and the other wearing eagles colors .
the teams were still called stx and cascade , which makes sense , but their uniforms were clear plays to the local sports fan populace . team stx rocked the old school philadelphia eagles inspired uniforms , and team cascade wore maroon and white phillies inspired gear . they even went so far as to have custom helmet decals made , but unfortunately those were stolen , and never saw the light of the field . seriously . if you see someone with those decals ( below ) on their helmets , you know they were stolen . messed up .
guys like kyle harrison , brett hughes , shamel bratton , sean morris and alex hewit could all play in the mll today if they wanted to . but it seems like their focus is no longer 100 % on being a player in a league , it is now just on playing the game , and the former is what the mll seems to ask of their guys . it’s more than fair of the mll to ask these guys to dedicate themselves to an extreme level because they are trying to build something big , and serious . but it’s also more than fair for great lacrosse players to want to do something a little bit different . in mikey’s interview above , he makes this point a couple of ways and in interesting fashion .
