Mark Bruener not pleased - 10-26-09

I think my head just exploded.

Isn't Crosby our new tight end on the practice squad? Oh guess not. I want to know what store did this.

Seth et al -

Chill out already with the jersey foul obsession.

But since I'm a good sport, I'll give you advance warning. I'm headed from VA to Pittsburgh this weekend to attend the Pens game against the Wild. I will be wearing a powder blue Pens from my collection of 131 hockey jerseys - USA, Canada, some minor leagues plus all the NHL jerseys prior to Reebock Edge debacle. 129 of them have my own name and the number I wore when I played amateur hockey. So, kaching - jersey foul. See if you can spot me.

Here's a fun - and true - story. I bought all these jerseys to wear at ECHL/UHL/SPHL minor league games in Richmond over the years. A few years ago during the holiday season, I was wearing a Pens jersey and waiting outside Mellon Arena for the gates to open. A guy comes up to me and says, "Hey, I know you from the games in Richmond." The exact same thing (different guy) happened to me inside the merchandise store at a game in Raleigh two years ago. Now, foul or no foul, I felt like a celebrity.

he could've gotten it from NFL.com....but this should be on their not allowed list.

@gman

you have 129 jerseys that all have your last name on them?  what a waste of money.  and narcissistic.  and idiotic.

Nuthin' a good hoodie couldn't fix.

>>waste of money<< I think that's for me to judge. Some people think one jersey is a waste of money. Some people have boats. Some people have vacation homes. I have hockey jerseys. My bills are paid in full each month. I contribute to charity. What's your beef? Who are you to judge?

>>narcissistic<< It's my family name on the jerseys, not my full name. How is that narcissistic? Are you a trained, licensed mental health professional qualified to make that diagnosis?

>>idiotic<< And you are painfully rude.

See? We both have opinions.
