RE: “…Josh Bailey, who was presented with a gag jersey. Got a laugh from the crowd, but, there was no real point to it.”

The laugh was the point.

yes, but there are other ways to haze than to rip off the team (literally) next door

Not only that, they have the Canadian Olympic Association logo on the right arm of the jersey. And on the back of the cap, the COA logo is instead of the Baseball Canada typeface logo. I’ll try to get pics later

Now imagine that with slightly looser shorts and high yellow socks. Ick.

Now the worst part: the catcher’s gear has a different shade of green. Can’t find any pics at the moment, but rest assured it’s ugly.

Reading that Favre jersey article leaves open a lot of questions.

1)They claim to be season ticket holders that go to “about 3 games a year”. Your not season ticket holders, your name may be on a pair of season tickets, but, I believe the rule is that you must attend half the teams games in order to be a season ticket holder.

Says who?

I thought the “rule” was that you had to buy season tickets to be a season ticket holder.

They may know how to hold the season tickets and yet not know how to use the season tickets.

And, really, the using is the most important part.

You could be a season ticket holder who sells his or her seats five times a year and goes the other three times because season tickets are frigging expensive. I can’t blame you for that.

I don’t know if any teams have guidelines that say your tickets must be scanned x number of times a year for you to be able to renew them (partially because I’m sure there are people who’d not only buy them, but who would spend even more money if they’re actually IN the seats than if they’re sitting at home).

But we don’t know if they just go to a few games and let the others go unused, or if they sell the rest. I know I’d sell the rest.

My family has a pair of Packers season tickets as well, and actual members of our family only attend between 2-4 home games per year. The others are sold to offset the cost of the tickets.

Some people who have tickets use most but then sell their tickets to one game: Packers-Bears. The money they make from selling those tickets alone usually pays for the entire rest of the season.

Regarding the NFL FNOB rule — I might be hallucinating this, but didn’t the Bengals have an odd mismatch of “Johnson”s the last few years? Chad was “C.”, Rudi was “R.” or “Rudi”, but I remember at least one other Johnson last year (or maybe a previous year) who was without initial. In my search for proof, I came across Jeremi as “J.” and it’s kinda hard to see, but it could have been Landon without initial but I found a similar bad example with initial.

Am I totally making this up, or does somebody else remember it too?

The Bengals used to have LB Riall Johnson who had his full name on the back of the jersey during the same period Rudi had his full name on the back. After Riall was cut Rudi switched to just “R. Johnson.” Pictures of Landon are hard to find.

During last night’s game Chad had “C. Johnson” but running back James Johnson and linebacker Brandon Johnson just had “Johnson.” Rudi was not at the game because he is still nursing that 14 month long hamstring pull, but I would assume he’ll still have the “R. Johnson” from last year. We’ll see if the other guys get their first initial added if they make the roster.

With all of these World Records breaking left and right in the Water Cube at the Olympics, is anyone pointing to the LZR suit by Speedo? I remember back in the early 90’s when the “clamp” or “clap” skates were introduced at the Winter Games for speed skating, records broke all over the place there too. Can these records in swimming be based on the suit? Or is something else coming into play. I mean these people are smashing records by full seconds!

They actually brought this up on the CBC coverage in Canada tonight. Ron MacLean was talking about how the new suits might be affecting overall times, especially in the relays.

However, there is also a lot to be said about how swimming has become a much more competitive sport in the last 4-8 years since Athens. That might be the biggest reason, but the suits probably shave tenths of a second off the total times.

maybe it’s because there’s no ozone layer left over china

Looks as if the Canadiens will be wearing two patches on their jerseys this season. Based on this video: http://ps3.ign.com/d...

Great catch. I have an email into the Habs PR dept. right now to see if this is actually the case.

If I get any word back, I’ll post it here.
