Thank you GQ.  Somehow, when I saw this tie at the AL Thrift Store Saturday, my subconscious told me that we had met before.  I finally put my finger on it.  
I can’t wait for the right occasion to wear it.  Last day of work, maybe.  I guess whatever day I wear it to work will be my last day at work.

Saw this little gem at an Indian Trading Post last weekend. I couldn’t help but wonder if he ever looks back and does the opposite of the title.

Nike -

Even though I have been a huge Nike lover for years I must say so long and I will no longer buy your product. Michael Vick does not deserve the right to he an endorser for anyone. Yes he is a good football player but what he did to those dogs is completely unforgivable in my book. I especially…

Sorry but I have to disagree here.  Nike is a business and this is a business move.  Lets not forget that Michael Vick was #1 overall in Pro Bowl votes last year at 729,838 votes.  If you are a company that is geared towards athletes, having the most popular athlete in the most popular sport in America endorse your product is a no-brainer.  

As far as his charges go, yeah, he was guilty.  He admitted what he did and served his time (2 years in prison compared to, say, Donte Stallworth serving 24 days for vehicular manslaughter while over the legal blood-alcohol limit).  Now he is a staunch advocate for the Humane Society who backs him up 100%.  In fact, it has been widely accepted that Vick’s work for the Humane Society has been some of the most successful efforts they have ever seen by an endorsement.  

If the NFL fans, the NFL itself, the Virginia Legal System and the Humane Society can give Michael Vick a second chance, why shouldn’t Nike?

Thanks for the box scores, ESPN!
I feel like ESPN.com is just rubbing it in Lakers’ fans faces now.  
That game was 8 days ago!
