Watch out Ace Bandages….. Is anyone really surprised? After all this is the same league that would not allow Peyton Manning to wear black high tops after Unitas passed away. So some people think this makes him a trouble-maker? Griffin is one of the most well-balanced kids to come into the league in a while. So what if he wants to make some money.
And playing good football too btw…. What on earth are you talking about? The guy has an endorsement deal with adidas. By league rules, he has to wear Nike equipment, a direct competitor to the company that is paying him via that endorsement deal. However, wearing the Nike equipment can give the impression that he supports Nike over adidas. He wants to eliminate any possibility of people believing that his is a Nike guy and not an adidas one, therefor he wanted to cover up the Nike swooshes on his attire.
This is much ado about nothing — the NFL…. Pretty smart of Adidas to sponsor a guy that has a job that requires that he wears only the gear supplied by your competitor. I know he got fined for some fancy shoes he wore in warmups though. I get that this is part of the contract and the NFL has to enforce it. Tough NFL! Nothing against long hair, but it be able to hide a required part of an NFL uniform? Another guy trying to bring attention to himself.
Suggestion for you Mr. Griffin has a lucrative endorsement deal with adidas. Players are not allowed to cover up Nike's logo, but can wear brands of sponsors that have deals with the NFL, according to the report. Griffin made an immediate impact in his first professional game, throwing for yards and two touchdowns in a win. Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is set to play out the final year of his contract, but things could get interesting for the eight-time Pro Bowler after this season.
It seems the Bucs and Chargers weren't the only teams interested in acquiring Tom Brady this offseason. Howard Mudd, a former NFL lineman who coached in the league for 38 seasons, passed away Wednesday, his family announced. Cincinnati Bengals. Louisville Cardinals. Bills offense could get boost from the return Knox, Brown. Panthers coach calls P. Walker 'Phillip' when mad, just 'like my mom'.
Baltimore Ravens. Washington's Chase Young: 'I can take the criticism Odell Beckham Jr. How J. Cam Newton gives Carolina Panthers hope, even if he's no longer 'Superman'. This "incident" is just the latest of its kind, though it has typically worked the other way around. Michael Jordan famously used the United States flag to cover up the Reebok logo on his podium jacket at the Olympics in Barcelona. Obviously, we don't want to see this turn into a bigger issue that distracts RG3 from the task at hand.
Surely it won't. But it is pretty fun to see an athlete fly his adidas flag proudly without Instagram-ing a stack of Jordan and Nike boxes in his bedroom to kill off the authenticity. So far, so good.
