“While I’m on the topic of timeout promotions, I feel like I should address the epidemic that seems to have spread to every school in the Big Ten. I’m talking of course of the incessant and unwavering desire of fans to get a t-shirt during the t-shirt toss. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that you are getting something for free or if it provides you a perfect opportunity to show your date how much of a man you are because you can catch a wrapped up t-shirt thrown by a mascot with an oversized nut for a head, but something about the t-shirt toss gets you going. And I respect that, even if I don’t fully understand it. It’s just strange to me to see people who are otherwise quiet and reserved suddenly want a t-shirt so badly that they don’t care if they push over that seven year old kid who’s got those Pokemon shoes that light up when he walks.” [Mark Titus/ClubTrillion]
“I’m here because I want to create a championship-caliber football organization,” [Browns GM George] Kokinis said. “It can be done. It’s a matter of rolling up the sleeves and getting after it, and that’s what we’re prepared to do.” [Tony Grossi/Plain Dealer]

“Its just seems different to me cause i feel like one of the best things about being 21 is when the people who works at a place dont think your 21 you get to whip out your i.d. and shove it back in there face. Ill never get that chance cause everybody already thinks im 50. Im still waiting on that day for someone not to recognize me and card me so i can be like “nope player im of age.” [Greg Oden/Yardbarker]

“While daydreaming in his high school chemistry class, hockey goaltender Trevor Leahy began to think about the opposing forwards who buzz around him when Pingree School hits the ice. […] Using computer skills he learned in a graphic design class at the private school in South Hamilton, Leahy sketched out new leg pads that blend into the goal netting behind him. He wanted pads, a trapper, and a blocker that are white with a raised double-stitched design, just like the goal. He applied for a design patent and had them custom-made by a Canada-based pad maker.” [David Rattigan/Boston Globe via Epic Carnival]

The Sports Hernia covered the t-shirt craze last week- apparently many lives have already been senseless lost to t-shirt violence:

As Scott and I discussed this morning, judging from Oden’s earth-shattering grammar/usage, perhaps he should have stayed in school for another year or two and learned to write…
Well, and a T-shirt cannon killed Maude Flanders…
