I’ll only wear a jersey with the name of my Lichtenstein bank.
I can’t figure that out either. For the record, I wear sandals here and there, shirts with collars 95% of the time, no keds, groomed normal hairstyle, cleanshaven, NO TATS, and am a tad overweight, not obese.
The last time I can really remember wearing a jersey of any kind was around 11 or 12.
You response has silenced me...no witty retort.
You got it right. Childish. I go to church with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and I find it amusing that other people are walking by him with his name on their backs.
Because a few grown women will actually believe the grown men when they try to pass themselves off as the player whose name is on the back of the jersey as the guy hopes to go in for the score.
"Yeah, lady, that's me. I'm Emmitt Smith. Sure, I looked different back in my playing days..."
In a related story, the AP ran an obit a few years ago about a player named Bill Henry who used to pitch in the majors back in the 60s. One reporter, who knew him from his playing days, called the reclusive player's wife to express his condolences.
"He ain't dead," said the wife. "He's right here having breakfast. You wanna talk to him?"
Turns out the deceased was an imposter whose own wife thought for 30 years that he was the retired pitcher. The AP had to run a retraction.
Your question sent me to Google - $149 for a piece of colored rag?!
It’s crazy. I own zero jerseys, and that’s where it will remain.
Don’t go to the bathroom when he’s in there.
I am proud to call Ben “brother”.
You mean like Tim Tebow or Peyton Manning fans?
I’m only playing. My team is on the other side of the state. Our QB is a convicted felon.
Physics. Theoretical.
Try $150-250
Cool. I’ve watched a bunch of MIT’s online classes just to get a different view on electrical engineering classes. I hope he does well. Does he have a career field in mind?
I see no problem with someone wearing a jersey of his/her favorite team...or with a players name on the back.
I love sports, and love my teams and college. I am perfectly normal. In fact....those criticizing...I wonder if there is something wrong with THEM....
I have college jerseys of some of my Univ of Central Florida alums (UCF), Kevin Smith and Daunte Culpepper. Most college jerseys sold in stores, except for the throwbacks, do no have the players names on them. Oh, and, beat Ohio State this week!
I also have a Univ of Nebraska football jersey, and, a Bobby Joe Hill 1966 Texas Western basketball jersey...the last is my favorite
I also own two T-Shirt/Jersey’s...jersey mock-up with players name on back....one of Tampa Bay Rays Evan Longoria (#3) and one of Tampa Bay Lightning’s Martin St Louis (#26). Those two get the most comments.....the Longoria one I always hear “Tony Parker dumped her a—”, and the St Louis one “go Cards” or “Saint Lewis” (its pronounced San Lou-eee)
I`d put Tombstone up with the best westerns ever made
Just can`t understand why they left that stupid slow
bullet scene in the final wrap
