From The [10] Jersey Rules, a September column by Rick Reilly on ESPN: [espn.go.com]. The man has very few off days. This is a good day for Reilly.
Rick Reilly
Jersey Rule No. 1:
You may not wear a jersey past age 29. Exceptions:
a) You are immediately related to the person whose name is on the back.
b) You are the person whose name is on the back. (Team photo required.)
Jersey Rule No. 2: You may not wear a jersey without a shirt underneath it, especially NBA jerseys. We do not want to see your rash. Or your spare tire. Or your nipples. My God, people.

I am very happily violating both those rules right now. At work.
Rick Reilly needs to chill out.

I don't think I ever qualified under his rules. But then, he doesn't have one that says, unless the guys name you're wearing wants to show it to his son.
And you forgot this:
And you forgot this:
Adam, I'm begging you and all jerseyites out there: Rent, lease or purchase a life.
And it better not involve cowbells.

You can't afford to have many off days when you're stealing other people's material.
"I need a synonym for tedious hack plagiarism."
"Sportswriting."
It's all been shite since Red Smith died.

An article about wearing sports jerseys is a ripoff of hundreds of similar lazy columns. It is so weird to think that there was a time that Rick Reilly wasn't considered total garbage.
