Let's Go Giants

Looks like they took the book down.  I had heard about it this morning on the radio however.

Go Big Blue!

There is or was a comparable book relating to the Giants on Amazon as well.

Shhhhh....

The funny thing is that the outlet that first made The Boston Globe's book-on-amazon into a story, The Boston Herald, also had a book listed on amazon.

Oh, that sports media...

This is why Hype Week for the Super Bowl is Super Stupid.  Retarded "news" like this finds ways to dominate the papers and espn talking-heads for 6 days.  Hey, I heard Tom Brady sneezed.  Let's talk about it for 802 hours.

I saw some ball caps in a convenience store just south of Burlington (VT) with the Pats logo and 19-0.  I don't know who the heck was already distributing them, but I don't think the owner or manager of the store was too bright to put them out either.

The woofing gods aside, I suspect that the NFL wouldn't authorize sales of such merchandise before the game.  So assuming these are official products they shouldn't be on sale yet.  Of course, if they're illegal then all bets are off.  May the woofing gods strike!

In fact, I'm not even sure the downside of potential embarassment from the sale of premature items outweighs the money to be gained from licsening them.  The NFL may hold off on the 19-0 commercials until the fourth quarter, but I suspect it doesn't mind too much if the stuff gets sold under the table a bit early.

I would suspect that you are very, very wrong. The NFL polices their licenses with more vigor than Kim Jong Il.

You are correct, sir.

And with good reason: the NFL is probably worth a lot more than North Korea!  :-}

To complete the circle of woofing, in a Marshalls in Watchung, NJ there was a rack of t-shirt that said "18 wins and ONE GIANT LOSS... sorry, Patriots, better luck next year".
