Since this is aboot jerseys--NFL players get 6% of the price of their jersey sales, I heard this morning. Thus based on what has been sold so far this week, Brett Favre is expected to rake in an extra $25 million dollars this season. When it isn't about the money, it's about the money. (Thanks to Alex Marvez on WQAM).
Might as well wear something you made yourself, I say.
No Knicks? What a surprise. Don't they get MSG over there?Can we send them Jim Dolan and get Gong Li in return?
Ah Jim Clark.....were you aware that the "laughingstock, court jester" (not my words) Charles Wang is laying the foundation and plastering the Islanders all over China?
Just hit your SAP button to hear the games in Mandarin.
Uh-huh.
Yao Ming dropped from No 6 to No. 10.Hope he and Huston Rocket will perform better in 2008-2009.
