    Is the NFL starting to reach for $$$ now?

    Check out what they're selling on NFL.com...a practice jersey. I'm not commenting on the jersey itself but isn't this a reach for the NFL?

    ours is not to wonder why just invert and multiply...

    I think they're doing that now for a lot of players. I saw the Ratstains fans getting all excited about red Joe Flacco jerseys.

      I don't think they are "reaching" per say.... But just maximizing the potential for revenue as they have always done.... But if it's a "practice jersey", shouldn't it be a brighter red that qbs wear?... I've never seen Ben wear a jersey that looks like that in the past.

      .... That being said, for $75, if I have enough adult beverages some night, I just may buy one because it's different...

      Man, I'm terrible about ordering stuff on-line..... BTW, never, and I mean NEVER, order the "egg-erator"... It's a rip-off!.........

            I don't know what's worse, this Roethlisber maroon pseudo-Redskin jersey, or the silver/grey/whatever version of this Polamalu jersey that makes it look like Raider colors.

            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

              Looks like it was thrown in the wash with the "colors" load, and faded out.....

                  I'll stick with the regular Steelers B&G jerseys. What the hell is an egg-erator?

                        ....It is a small contraption that is "supposed" to peel hard-boiled eggs... But what it does is actually explode them all over the kitchen like a mini granade!

                          Well that sucks, I was going to get one...seriously. I need something that helps me clean the grill after a mean bbq. The search continues.

                            Yea.... Definitely DON'T waste your money..... You'd get better results using a hot rag and a wire brush.... I liked the concept, but it is just weak in performance. It hasn't cleaned my grill effectively, and I had to go back over it afterwords..... It is now sitting in the closet and collecting dust (along with the egg-erator) because it just doesn't work.
