You wouldn't take 4 slaps for that one though. there are a lot of women that might be worth 4 digs but not that one.

She wasn't worth it. 6 out of 10

Who exactly is worth getting shot twice in the head and chest for?

Maybe your mum.

Mark Buerhle pitched a perfect game for the White Sox this afternoon - aided mightily by his team-mate DeWayne Wise with a brilliant catch in the top of the 9th

Watched sanchez pitch that no hitter for the Giants a couple weeks back, first no hitter in Giants history since 1976. Helluva achievement.

Surprised the conditional reinstatement of Michael Vick hasn't gotten a mention here.

Jim Johnson passed away today.

Also Favre has thrown the Vikings under a bus- he says he is not coming out of retirement.

Capt Pat · July 29, 2009, 02:35:35 AM

Favre really does take the piss with these retirement things. I still half expect him to be playing somewhere in the NFL this season, although it may not be the Vikings. I think the Vikings head coach Childress told him to attend all of training camp or forget about is so Favre has stayed retired.

I thnk the Vikings will be ok though. The additions of rookie wide receiver Harvinf and Sage Rosenfels at quarteback should improve the passing game.

No I'm in Ireland. Thats why I asked here before I ordered off a website, I wanted to see what other people use. I have checked up some English websites including Reebok, ACA Sports, http://www.greatamericansports.co.uk/ etc but none of them had a great selection and some of the jerseys had old names on the back. I don't buy many jerseys so in the end I said I'd try NFLshop even if it cost a bit more just because it had a good selection and what I wanted. The expensive part is the shipping which cost me $25.86. Going by the websites shipping methods and costs page it will take between 3-7 days to arrive. I don't know much about buying products from the USA but it normally takes that long when I buy from other websites in Europe anyway so I'm surprised it wont take longer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I wont have to wait long anyway.

NFLShop is a bit pricey but the quality will be top notch. Remember the sizes will be larger from the states ie. a med/large will be more like a xl/xxl. Check the sizing.
