Ok, so I remember the ACC upping their exit fee from $10 million to $20 million, but where did this $50 million come from?

Well, at least ASU will have a new tuneup game vs a D1 school that's just down the road... Wait... Do they even have a football team? This whole thing is just shenanigans. Not only that, but I just read this on another board Yikes.

If (lol) you don't care about (LOL) the law and want jerseys (lol) cheap, then you must (Lol) also see nothing wrong with (lol) stealing a jersey, right? Lol. I've never understood this argument. Sure purchasing counterfeit jerseys is illegal, but it's not the purchaser who is committing IP theft. When you physically steal something, there's no excuse. Personally, I feel that putting the blame on the consumer is a bit unfair, because the average consumer has no idea it's illegal. If they really want to stop IP theft, going against an ignorant consumer isn't going to do it. Going harder after the provider, and even the shipping companies, seems like a better idea. But How do you do that without violating privacy and international trade laws(not to mention the logistics of it as well)? That really only leaves the major sports leagues to blame. When the option to purchase an item for 1/5 the price of a real one when most people aren't knowledgeable enough to realize the quality difference or the possibility of illegality of the purchase you really can't win selling jerseys for hundreds of dollars. It doesn't make it right, but the major sports leagues and apparel manufacturers definitely brought this one upon themselves. And I for one don't feel bad about that at all.

Why the hell does the name of this thread keep changing?

Who they later traded to the Giants along with Jon Vander Wal for Armando Rios, during a series they had against the Giants in San Francisco. In fact, the very next day the Giants beat the Pirates on a walkoff error by Rios.

I would assume, at least for the first year (if it were to start this upcoming season), that they would just give each team on Penn State's schedule a de facto win and reassess what they're going to do next season. It may seem a bit rash to just award a win to each team (that could turn out to be problematic if each B1G team doesn't play every other B1G team at least once, but that could be adjusted if they don't), but despite the atrocities committed by Penn State, the NCAA can't just cripple an entire conference and take away their championship game because of one team's wrongdoings. Might not be a perfect solution, but I can't think of anything else that would really be feasible. Really, sliding Notre Dame into that spot would be perfect, if they didn't have a set schedule already. It'd be great if they could just take over Penn State's schedule, but it wouldn't work.

I'd say that Cal Ripken Jr. looked most appropriate in a Rays uniform. I've seen a few pictures of him in an Orioles uniform and it's just weird.

That sounds like a very NHL move to me. Let's not bother moving a team that loses tens of millions of dollars every year, because we're gonna ALL lose hundreds of millions of dollars this year!

Except that unlike communism, nobody ever considered Bettman's attempt to keep the team in Arizona a good idea.

No one talks enough about how that Camelback Ranch thing is just as much a disaster as the Coyotes/Jobberdome. "It has two team facilities separated by a fully stocked pond! We didn't pay for it!" You can't fight City Hall, but apparently you can pawn it off. EDIT: oh and http://www.azcentral.com/community/glendale/articles/2012/06/20/20120620glendale-possible-sales-tax-hike-referendum.html Sports. This is actually a decent plan if you ask me. It makes it easier for angry residents of Glendale to riot and burn down the Jobber without those pesky public safety groups getting in the way.

Man, those Rockets uniforms were God awful. I loved them when I was a kid, but now they just look like complete crap.

Back after the Giants won the World Series in 2010 a buddy of mine ordered a bunch of counterfeits for 5 or 10 bucks each and kinda started ripping on me for dropping $40 for a real one. When I pulled it out to compare, he basically just got pissed at me. I mean the hat wasn't awful, but it was nowhere near the quality of the real ones. It was basically at that moment that I realized that when people order fake crap and you call them out on it (I was really polite about it too), they generally don't like it.

The Maple Leafs will move to Saskatoon.

She has a link to her website on her twitter page. It's hilarious. Here's one thing that caught my attention. Maybe they can stick a library in next to the Coyotes store. You can check out a book while you buy a Coyotes t-shirt. Perfect solution to Glendale's problem. Buy Coyotes merchandise, get a free book. Everybody wins!

If I saw someone wearing this, I would compliment them on being as ass. No you wouldn't. You would get all internally angry and riled up over nothing, and then come on this site and vent about it. No, I wouldn't. If you really would be that compelled to be that much of a smug jerk, I hope the dude who's wearing it is huge. And drunk. It was just a play on what looooooooooogodude said in the last page about complimenting someone on wearing a knockoff jersey.... Ahh, well. In that case, ignore me. I'm a dick

I heard that a few weeks ago. Pretty neat. He was also room mates with Edgar Renteria.

Welp, I was wrong. I really didn't think I'd ever read something on the boards that included the Coyotes and mentioned ELIMINATING parking lots...

Wow, thats kind of shocking. I didn't realize that pigs had wings. Not happening.

I think you forgot Nevada and Fresno State, unless they decided to go elsewhere.

Instead of changing the name of this thread, let's just pin it, as this situation is likely to outlast the existence of humanity anyway.

So I posted this in the Grinds My Gears thread, but I decided to put this here too. So I have a Reebok EQT Carnell Williams jersey I got a few years ago. I was really reluctant to pick one up because I heard the quality was so poor and the price is really high. If not for geting a really heavy discount at the Pro Image I worked at, I never wouldve bought one. It looks great, but I've put off washing it due to a fear of it falling apart. Well I just washed it, on the delicate cycle and in cold water, and it's completely destroyed. The screen printing on the numbers has worn off and soaked into the jersey material. So much for the quality being so much higher on the legit jerseys. This is a problem that Nike absolutely has to fix, or people will keep turning to the fakes, wrong or not.

Can I ask what the vitrol towards Bleacher Report is? It's always bashed here every time it's linked or even brought up. If they're constantly wrong, then ok, that's one thing and answers my question. But I'm not getting my breaking news from them. I actually find a lot of BR articles to be, in the very least, entertaining.

Except that everything about it screams "fake." The jersey mesh, bubbly numbers, shoddy sleeve logo and super-tight neck. It's lasted 6 years. You put a replica through a fourth as many wash cycles and it's destroyed. And people wonder why anyone would buy fakes... I'd rather look good for a year and a half than cheap for six? Sorry, I think that replicas look like complete . No better than fakes IMO. And I'll say there are some absolutely glaringly AWFUL fakes. The ones I've picked up so far aren't that bad though. Like I said earlier, I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their opinions on the matter, and mine won't change much either. And like I said earlier, you get what you pay for. I personally would rather be spotted in a fake that cost me $20 than in a replica that cost 100-120 bucks. I can see why some would, no doubt. But it isn't that important to me. And I've paid full price for a bunch of authentics too. Great looking shirts, but not worth the huge increase in price IMO.
