underarmor is endorsed, albeit not exclusively, by metsmarathon.

i don't trust their running shoes, but on the apparel side, they're pretty good.

Yes, I wear an UnderArmor pullover to run in the cold weather, which I received as a gift since I'd never pay that much for gear.

I also find nothing emphasizes the spare tire I carry around like their compression T shirt.

I like their running pants. And the price is counterbalanced by the fact that those things never wear out.

Jeff Francoeur? After his 2008 season he should only be allowed to endorse underpants that look like Jackson Pollack paintings.

You can't discuss ballplayers endorsing underwear without this:



Worked for Jim.

If you took your eyes of his red hot bod, you'd see that's a Red Red Rose.

That isn't serious, is it?

The key was that most underwear was purchased by wives for their husbands. They liked the beefcake (my wife though the Palmer ads were extremely sexy), so they bought.

The Palmer ads were, indeed, extremely sexy.

A lot of women who wouldn't know a balk from a bunt bought their husbands underwear based on those ads.

And those were the good old days? hhehehe

Whenever I look at that, I can't help but think that it is Jack Black making fun of something. But it's real. . .and that's scary.
