  1. Here is a real picture of Tebow in practice today with his new helmet. I love this picture. Perfect timing with the guys behind him.

    Caption - Brady: "Really? We really sign him?" McDaniels: "Yep, that's my guy. He's here to replace you." 'laughs'.

    What is this no jersey number stuff? Have the pats done this in the past?

    Tebow will look good in 5...doubt if he beats out Pizzaface Mallett but should earn a roster spot if he's gained a bit of humility and is willing to play additional positions. If so, I can't think of a better place for him.

  2. With regards to Lofton, all of his Astros cards have him in short-sleeves. I can't find and don't remember anything but long sleeves after he came to cleveland, growing up with those teams.

    Though he did do short sleeves for rock n jock softball. I assume that doesn't count.

    EDIT: also found a 1994 spring training shot with vizquel in the cleveland stadium-era home set. They switched for the regular season, but I didn't recall the team ever wearing non-bp tops during spring training.

  3. Oh and another thing:

    Even when you buy an authentic from an official seller- you're still not getting a legit on-field jersey. They don't have the draw-string sleeves or anything like that. So you're kind of getting duped anyway in to thinking you're getting the real deal when you aren't.

    Exactly. I have a hard time believing that an "authentic" is really worth the $300 price tag if it isn't even on the field. You can't tell me that a real player's jersey costs more. If so it would cost an astounding amount to dress a football team.

    Not $300, but gamers definitely cost more than authentics to produce. One big reason is that there's more overall material used, ever seen the length of football jerseys? I have a 42 (M) that runs almost to my knees. The differences in striping or how the numeral/nameplate is affixed is also of a higher quality in gamers. This doesn't even get into the new designs of Pro Combat or TechFit where the on-field jerseys have 'advanced' material. I know most of that is marketing BS, but not all.

    -Eddie Murray with the Angels.

    I'm probably wrong, but isn't that his stint with Cleveland?

    Well that is what I get for trusting captions on pictures.

    Havent' we all done that once or twice?

    To be fair, Murray only wore that Cleveland uniform for about a month in in Spring Training '94 before they unveiled their script jerseys in April.
