LOL! I know this isn't intellectually stimulating news but I thought some of you might find it funny.

BTW, have you ever wondered what other names the NFL bans on jerseys? Click on this link:

On the other hand, there's already at least one online shop selling Ron Mexico T-shirts at ronmexico.com.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah some guy in Chicago I think has sold a couple hundred Ron Mexico shirts already LOL

Doesn't Ron Mexico play hockey, er, would play hockey if he could?

hilarious. I was wondering were "Ron Mexico" came from.

[demsux]

Great list.

I own a sports apparel store, so I find this kind of stuff interesting.

Mitchell & Ness, manufacturers of high end throwback jerseys, WILL NOT make the following players:

-Pete Rose

-OJ Simpson

Funny though, I see "knockoff" OJ's all the time. I try to tell them that they are fakes, but they don't believe me.

Vick will have a hard time scrambling out of this one. He can't pass his way out of a paper bag, BTW.

I try to tell them that they are fakes, but they don't believe me.

Unless you have an actual, game-worn jersey from a player, they're all "fakes", even the "authentic" jerseys. Do people realize that all they have to do is order the number and team they want, then take the jersey to the local embroidery shop or seamstress, and they can have anything they want sewn on the back? I suppose that would be an awful lot of trouble to go to just to have "BARF" on your back, but I bet (no pun intended) there are plenty of Pete fans who would go through the hassle to pay homage to their hero.

I'm thinking the Levitra commercials will be replaced by Valtrex ads this season. I don't suppose that name could be placed on a jersey, either.

No, thank goodness for me.

GOOD to know that OJ has been eliminated.
I'll make certain I buy Mitchell & Ness products.

I think that the key to understanding Vick's greatest challenge in becoming an all-time great QB is revealed in this little off the field fiasco. Choosing "Ron Mexico" as a spontaneously chosen alias - may be one of the reasons he was so slow to learn the Atlanta offensive plays. He's a phenomenally talented athlete - bone headed moves like this make you wonder if he has the intellect to maximize the impact of those physical skills.

[Teplukin]

It would be nice if they added Barry Bonds to that list.

[Chode]

so get BLANK jersey and have your local sporting goods store put the name on it... if ya can't figure out how to put them on yourself that is

[onyx]

This is more of a question than a statement...
but does Vick's ability to run and carry the
ball make him a better quarterback, or will
it shorten his carrer and thus lessen whatever
potential he had for greatness?

[Gondring]

"Satan" should be okay for NHL, though.

[Gondring]

They don't seem to care about accuracy...it's "thesmokinggun.com"

[wardaddy]

typically these days a scrambling quarterback who runs like Fran Tarkenton or Archie did (early) will not last as long.
