  1. Once the Devils get rid of the dead-weight Ray Chambers, we'll be fine. The squabble between Vanderbeek and Chambers is what's causing this hiccup. The Devils will be fine and they're not moving anywhere. Look elsewhere, canuckleheads...
  2. Record heat day. According to NOAA and Weather Underground, the high for Jacksonville on 9-11-11 was 93. Considering that most Jaguars fans live in/near Jacksonville, a high of 93 degrees is not exactly "sweltering". They're used to the heat and the humidity. Why does ATL have a dome? How come both Florida baseball teams play indoors? So Jacksonville has an inadequate stadium for their situation, and should either have a new stadium built for them, or they should move to greener pastures...
  3. Rutgers needs to get out now. If the every want to try and be a reasonable college football program, they need to get out now.
  4. Looking into my crystal ball... (or beer bottle, whatever) This is my vision of the "Big 4" conferences in college football in ten years time. There obviously will still be smaller conferences, but these schools will run the show. ..or not. I was just bored at work. SEC Florida Georgia Louisville Kentucky South Carolina Tennessee Vanderbilt Alabama Arkansas Auburn LSU Mississippi Mississippi State Texas Texas A&M Virginia Tech PAC-16 California Oregon Oregon State Stanford UCLA USC Washington Washington State Arizona Arizona State Colorado Kansas Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Tech Utah ACC Boston College Connecticut Florida State Maryland Syracuse West Virginia Duke Georgia Tech Miami North Carolina North Carolina State Virginia Clemson Wake Forest BIG 10 Iowa Rutgers Missouri Pittsburgh Michigan Michigan State Nebraska Notre Dame Illinois Indiana Minnesota Northwestern Ohio State Penn State Purdue Wisconsin
  5. Word i've been hearing is that the Rams, Jags and Vikings leases are going to make it nigh impossible for those teams to re-locate. That leaves the Chargers and Raiders...
  6. The people that had their intellectual property stolen. The people's who I.P. it is already got paid. The theft is taking the cash out of the corporation's pockets, not the artist.
  7. It really is amazing to see how many people have been on here and said the exact same thing Kevin says. Dozens and dozens of members with the exact same issues and excuses and apologies. It's almost like a sociology experiment in here...
  8. The most surprising thing about that ring? The Islanders were in the Playoffs...
  9. Never buy knock-offs online. Buy them at your local flea market or underhand sports store/mob front...
  10. I love those Giants rings. I also dug the White Sox rings, though. Understated for championship rings, yes, but nice...
  11. is on Sundays 10am-3pm on 97.9X and 979X.com

  12. I don't disagree, but when you out-price a product, people will find alternatives, legal or not.
  13. Infared, that makes no sense. Those are my logos that i have made and havn't given the rights away to. With the NFL and such, the artists already made their money.
  14. Do the designers get residual payments for every jersey with their logo or design sold? Or are they payed a one-time fee for their work?
  15. Never buy a knock-off online... Make sure you can see what you're getting before you get it. Flea Markets are the best place to buy knock-offs, and the quality there is usually very, very good.
  16. I believe it's much like Prohibition.. illegal to make and sell, not illegal to purchase and consume...
  17. It's legal to buy a bootleg jersey. It's not legal to produce the jersey.
  18. That's all anyone's really asking here. If you understand the law, if you understand the concept of IP rights and you still decide to buy a counterfeit then that's your call. Right. I couldn't care less if you buy the jersey or not, as long as you don't act like there's not only nothing wrong with it, but you're some kind of crusader against the big bad businesses who are destroying society by selling sports jerseys at a certain price point. Not trying to act like a crusader... I just want a cheaper priced jersey i can fit into... I can't buy Legit jerseys anyways, cause they don't make them in my super fat & tall guy size. Casual Male is getting better at this, but they're VERY limited on NHL uniforms. So, i have to look elsewhere...
  19. Welcome to the free-market economy. Glad to have you on board. This is why I go to Blackhawks games once or twice a year instead of having season tickets, and why my seats are in the 300 level instead of on the glass. This is why I drive a Dodge Stratus instead of a Bugatti Veyron. If there are things out there which you can't afford, you're always free to explore avenues which may lead you to acquire more wealth and personal property. In the meantime, I'll just bask in the glow of the stupefying irony of you, of all people, calling for entitlements. The point of that, Sodboy, was saying there ARE avenues for me to aquire sports jerseys. They are outside of the official retailers, but they are there to be had at a price cheaper than the competition. Now i wouldn't buy a knockoff that was as awful as some of the examples in this thread, but many knockoffs are quite good, as in the number fonts are correct, the nameplates are correct, even the NFL Equipment shield is correct. I'm not saying people should be entitles to get all the expensive things they want. No one has that right, and i'm not calling for entitlements. All i'm saying is that if there is a cheaper way to get the same product, don't bust my balls about it... ...and Pizzaman, i'm Unaffiliated...
  20. So what you're saying is that sports should only be for those who can afford it? Otherwise, you're excluded? Never said i was entitled to a jersey, that i HAVE to be provided with one. But if my poor-ass wants a jersey, i'm going with one i can afford, and that is of equal-to-better quality than the "authentics". There is no reason to pay $160+ for a jersey just because you can buy it at Modells. Not only that, i'm a really tall, fat bastard. The "Authentics" don't come in my size. My Chinese sweat-shoppers care about the fat, over-fed American sports fan in a way Reebok does not...
  21. I'd rather pay for a $40 dollar jersey from Chang's Discount Booth at the Flea Market that has the same or better quality than what the official retailers are putting out there for $200+. Simple as that. Is it ethically right? Perhaps not, but my wallet makes that decision. I'd like a Giants jersey. I can spend an ridiculous amount on one that is ill-fitting and looks like ƨhiŧ, or i can spend 4 times less, and get a jersey that fits pretty well and looks better? You're out your damn mind if you think i'm going to buy the "Official" jersey to help the awful system of charging people high prices for crap merchandise stay afloat. When the big 4 leagues & their uniform manufacturers start putting out a product worth $200+, i'll pay that price for it. Until then? Reebrok it is. Want to throw me in jail for that? Throw the cuffs on, you self-rightious, ivory tower assh*les...
