QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) He could try, that's for sure. Emphasis on "try". As long as the likeness used is not copyright infringed, he's public domain. Same would be true for a t shirt that talks about impeaching a public official or something like that. Absoultely.. which is why I typed try.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Don't let it happen again! Yes sir..

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) He's got to be hanging from a thread with the Sun-Times, doesn't he? Since about 2000 one would think..

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) If you do it, set it up so you can comment on all the sports columnists, or at least start with Chicago. You can use the Mariotti domain name but use Mariotti merchandise as only part of the e-commerce aspect. Who's to say you can't put out t-shirts in support of Hawk for example? Also, pick a charity and donate proceeds from everything you sell to that charity, and publicize that on the site. Even if it's a very small portion, make sure you do it. "A portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to our friends at ... ", please support (their mission). It's a very nice feel good. Ahh yes.. "A portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to our friends at Soxtalk... "

QUOTE(robin_ventura_eternal @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) i would make sure that there arent a bunch of other people selling anti-mariotti shirts already. hes kinda famous, and a lot of people obviosly hate him, so you never know. just better to make sure. What does it matter if they are..? It's not others that would be the concern. I'm sure Jay would try to sue for using his likeness for profit without his permission.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) I'll tell you what SS2K5, I will split startup costs with you and maintenance duties. This is starting to sound like a plausible idea. I wouldnt even blur my picture for it, I would get a good grinning shot with my middle finger extended. Pfftt.. I'll fund the damn thing!! Get 'er done Mike!!!

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Of course, Steff, don't you know: All NASCAR fans are white trash? All Catholic priests are child molesters? All Kentuckians are hillbillies? Whoops.. my bad. :rolly

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) I just liked the sound of a million dollar website. Heck I might consider firesouthsider2k5'smother.com for that kind of money. I'm TM'in the idea right this minute..

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Next, someone will set up www.firemariotti.com . Which would get a bazillion hits and make a million dollars easily.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) [resists urge] Oh come on... I'll protect you from sox-r-us & eternal robin..

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) Dave: "you know, I'm WAY older than you are" Katie (after like 20 seconds of similing and slowly shaking her head like an idiot): "and you always have been Dave" Classic. I especially loved her answer to Dave asking "if you only had enough $$ for one movie ticket.. which one would you see...?" Katie... "I support my man". I'm sure the BM execs just loved that..

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) Funny I have been tagged with the nickname "whiny b****" by a few of my friends...and yes I'm proud Uh...Go Sox!!! Rip Em?!?!?! or something* * Had to make sure I stay on topic of the thread in order to appease all who monitor such things Pffttt.. that's nothing. Mine cut the chase and just call me b****.. Padres stink.. go Sox!!

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) I used a more constructive way to criticize their 'look who I saw' posts...adapt to the world around you, its an art No fun not to b**** and complain.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) LOL I had to slow down and re-read that. I thought Steff had a *great* afternoon planned. Dirty, dirrrty boy.

QUOTE(robin_ventura_eternal @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) thank i too was going to say something about that But of course... excellent way to start your stay here.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Your point is correct Steff, but did you also notice the next 10 posts after this? What has Bill Mueller, Johny Damon, Scott Boras and Playboy have to do with the game thread? Pot calling kettle black? :rolly Just followed the flow of the thread. But thank you for you timely and effecient calling out Mr. Posting Police. Be sure to use plenty of chap stick..

I'm not eating lunch today.. I'm scooting out of here soon to go lay by the pool and drink a few cold ones..

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Not at all (just weird). I have had the same stuff for lunch for 2 years now (except when I substitute a pb&j sammich). LMAO.. will the "moldy" joke get used again..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) The picture of Marte with the afro-wig was awesome from that game Yea it was.. wow... it seems so long ago. Yikes.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) I have an '83 home jersey, with Frank Thomas on it...and don't say he never wore that jersey...because he did. Throw-back day.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) I believe that the Sox played the Dodgers last year (or was it 2 years ago?) so it won't be the first time that's happened. At Comiskey....???

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) But alas, all we get is missing white women. No wonder I no longer watch cable news. So is that all the "white woman's" fault...?? That gives the green light to talk s*** about her..? And I'm not at all saying YOU are doing that.. just a curious question.

The Bulls already ink'd back with AM1000 from what I hear.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Taking quotes from the story that "The Alabaman was last seen at a local bar about 1:30 a.m. Memorial Day (search), getting into a car with three islanders she'd apparently befriended." Now this means either 1 of 2 things: a. her friends/chaperones left her alone with people she didn't know at all or b. the girl decided to go off by herself to a bar with people she didn't know. Toddlers knows "Stranger = Danger" so why can't 18 year olds figure it out? Beats me LCR... I'm not defending her actions, but I sure as hell am not going to s*** on a girl that was possibly raped and murdered. People are in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time. Family members beat, rape and kill eachother. Parents, Priests, friends and strangers molest and kill children, etc, etc.. It's a pretty effed up world out there. Guess I'm in the minority in thinking it's better not to kick someone when they are down.

There is speculation that she was drugged, but that's besides the point. Harsh? Yes. Crass? Yes. True? Yes. Ignorant? Yes. Assanine? Yes. Karma... ? Probably.
