BengalByTheBay Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 That most reliable of all bellwethers -- the Bengals pro shop has a "buy any jersey get an ocho jersey free" thing going on. I know, the economy stinks and everything's for sale, but why would they put their most popular (at least until recently) jersey on sale like that? I know -- he's going to be traded. I'm calling it right now. SoP's trying to squeeze every cent out of it before he deals #85. Okay, that's all pretty tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, is there any more reliable predictor than the team trying to sell some jerseys before they become worthless? Notably, the prior sale was "buy any current player jersey, get a former player jersey free" -- follow the money my friends... Quote

Their number's their last full year with the team is similar so hopefully we can get a similar deal. I would love to pick up an extra first rounder that way we could take Okopo with our first pick and then an OT or Knowshawn Moreno with our second. If they trade him, you can bet your ass they will franchise or resign TJ. Quote

Maybe I could pick up some TJ options on the futures market. As with Williams, there remains the possibility that some stupid owner that everybody thinks is a genius just because they overpay for FA's will make the deal (fingers crossed). Quote
whizzo Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 shame they don't give away just the jersey... i'd love to have an Ocho jersey... call me whatever you want, but Chad's attitude is something special Quote
Walrus Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I guess this explains it...Like Carson Palmer, Bengals gear sat out most of ’08 season -- Merchandise sales fell 40% as team’s losses piled upAlso explains why Target has (unofficial) Chad and TJ jerseys on sale for $8 here locally. Also, ironically (since he missed most of the season), I did not see any Palmer jerseys on sale. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Speaking of cheap Bengals jerseys, they must have just lumped all Bengals related jerseys in together, but I picked up my Kenny Anderson throwback for $24.00 when I came back to Cincinnati at Christmas. My new favorite jersey... Quote

ArmyBengal Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 F*CK MIKE BROWN...That being said, I'll be more than happy to spend money on something I would really like to have IF I can find it at a price that is WAY below average. I don't know what his percentage is from a $24.00 jersey that should have gone for more than twice that, but hey, maybe he has bad breath and that pack of gum those earnings allow him to buy will come in handy. So he's welcome... Quote
HairOnFire Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 F*CK MIKE BROWN... Yes, yes, yes, that's all well and good. But you don't seem to realize how your purchase of a heavily discounted Ken Anderson throwback jersey has cost the revolution it's victory. It's over. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Sh*t, just when I was about to make a monthly donation for continued urinal cake supplies and buy season tickets and then not show up for the game to show my dislike...Sorry to let you all down like that... Quote
