A Heath Shuler Jersey Pisses Excellence
By Jamie Mottram | July 22, 2008
I very well may have sold this dude that jersey (via Straight Cash Homey) while working at the Champ’s Sports in Tyson’s Corner during the summer of ‘94, and, for that, I’m sorry.
Even with the Desmond Howards sitting there in the clearance bin, serving as a gentle warning, the Shulers were just flying off the rack. Because we all knew that Shuler would become a bust-turned-Congressman and wearing his jersey would be so ironically cool in the year 2008. (Not that the guy in the picture is ironically cool. He might actually be Heath Shuler.)
Anyway, on-topic: What’s the most absurd Skins jersey you’ve seen? I’m going with Adam Archuleta.

Skip Hicks. The sad thing is I OWN this Jersey.
Let me explain myself:
I bought this jersey during the summer before the Stephen Davis vs. Skip Hicks Competition for RB. Well I guess you know who won.
So I went to the Skins Training Camp the following year, (Davis was the undisputed Starter) Hicks was still on the team as the backup. I wore the Jersey, saw Skip Hicks, held the jersey out to get him to sign it and HE SNUBS ME!!! He looked right at the jersey saw his Name and Number and proceeds to go around me to sign other items. WHAT A DOUCHEBAG!!! I was probably the only person who owned his jersey other than his own mother!!!!

I saw an elderly gentleman at Fed Ex with a Deion Sanders jersey and he used duct tape to make it an Al Saunders jersey.

Im trying to get the pictures, but Ade got cut the day the jersey arrived, and homeboy still sported it.

What’s more absurd than the Colt Brennan and Fred Davis jerseys currently in Redskins stores?
I did see a child at a game once wearing a jersey that said “The Mayor” on the back, what were his parents thinking?

I once saw a guy walking down the street wearing a Nic Clemons jersey. Not even Chris Clemons, but Nic. The only possible explanation was that it was Nic Clemons brother, nephew or cousin because I can’t fathom another scenario in which somebody would own a Nic Clemons jersey.
And, Jamie, I still have that Posse poster. It’s rolled up and sitting in my closet. I’ve been planning on getting it framed for about the past five years.

Trung Canididate. Unbelievable, but someone actually bought into that guy being the “Marshall Faulk” of Spurrier’s Run N’ Gun. Awful that he had a jersey, even worse that someone thought enough of him to wear it, let alone purchase it.

Derek Frosts parents made a cameo in the DTC music video, hit a motherfucking eagle fan.
All wearing Frost jerseys.
And Bobby Brown, I think I saw that “child” wearing The Mayor jersey as well. Pretty sure he was getting a blow job from your sister in the woods.

I don’t have a sister, I have a brother though…we don’t judge him, he can do whatever he wants to in the woods.
and why were you watching a child get a blow job?

Who said anything about you? I just mentioned some kid I saw wearing a puzzling jersey which fits right in on the topic of this blog post.

All I know is I’ve been looking for an Art Monk Jersey that doesn’t look like a knock off peice of shit. Anyone know where I can get one?
As for now I’ll be rocking the old school Darrell Green. Better question: anyone know what bars are good in Canton?

I need photographic evidence of the Skip Hicks jersey, as well as The Posse poster. Seriously, we’ll post them if you send to jamiemottram-at-gmail.

Archuleta by a mile.

No mention of Jeff George? Michael Westbrook? Kenard Lang? Darnerian McCants?
I am ashamed of this post.
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:22 PM
George and Westbrook would at least by funny in an ironic fashion.

How about Al Noga or Tony Banks? I live in San Diego, so all I see are Seau and Leaf jerseys…
