Countries like Mozambique, Armenia, El Salvador, Ghana, Sudan, Haiti and Mongolia will get losing merchandise.

Guessing that Patriots stuff wouldn't go over well in the Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Giving away your useless garbage is not charity. Even if someone considers your trash a treasure.

Somewhere in Haiti there's a kid who thinks the Buffalo Bills were a dynasty.

I would love to get my hands on one of those Pats tshirts and send it to a buddy of mine who is a huge douche of a Pats fan.

/He's also a Yankee fan.
//I know. Like I said, huge douche.

It reminds me of the quarry where Fred Flintstone worked. It just needs a few dinosaurs.


I thought the losing team's stuff got shredded and recycled.

Spoiled brats! I want one!!

Someone in a third world country can probably make a few bucks selling these things as collectors' items on eBay.... I mean, it would have to be someone with a computer and a reliable shipping system, which kinda rules out most of the locals and all of the intended charitable beneficiaries. But I can see someone visiting the country, paying a reasonable price for the shirts to whatever relief agency and then re-selling them at a markup back home.

I wish I could find the Onion article where a kid wearing a 1994 Buffalo Bills shirt declares the Bills the greatest sports franchise of all time, as they have just won their 4th world championship in a row.

Umm, no.

IIRC,, there is a website that does this. Its a fairly new startup. Wish I remembered the site/name. Pay the owner of the shirt directly. $20 for a 19-0 Pats shirt you could sell for $50. The NFL's attorneys would eat up your profits in court though.

I wonder what is the most depressing place on Earth? Where does suicide have the highest rate?

Why?

Because they don't want people wearing those things, which is why the ship them out in the 1st place. They'd lose, but would break the bank account of anyone trying to sell them. I'd still pay for one though.

Kornchex: I'd love the Baltimore version for the guy sitting across the hall from me. We're actually currently discussing how storied the Baltimore Ravens franchise is compared to the San Diego "Chokers" as he likes to call them.

So anyway, thanks Subby. I made sure to send him a screenshot of your link.

Wait, I don't understand how you're defending the Chargers here. That team has been a laughing stock for years, taking one of the most consistently loaded rosters in the NFL and utterly crumbling every single season. Everyone knows they're going to do it every season and, like clockwork, there it is. I can't think of a worse talent-to-performance ratio in the NFL in the last decade...maybe this year's Eagles, but everyone knew they were suspect at LB/Safety and weaker than you thought at WR. And, that was just one year, not a half-decade.

Meanwhile, the Ravens make the playoffs every year, got to the AFC Championship for the second time in four years this year, and were one dropped pass away from the Super Bowl.

Going back to franchise history, the Chargers have never won a Super Bowl, but do have an AFL Championship in 1960. The Ravens, of course, do have a Super Bowl victory -- and have been around 16 years as opposed to 52 (SD joined the NFL 42 years ago).

The Chargers have a 49.75 all-time win percentage, for the Ravens it's 54.69%. The Chargers are a sub-.500 franchise.

The Chargers have six players in the Hall of Fame, in 50+ years. The Ravens have none, yet, of course, but there are at least three first-ballot guys coming up as soon as they are eligible (Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed) and there are guys active right now that could be on their way (Ray Rice, Terrell Suggs, long shot for Ngata, outside chance for Vontae Leach but who knows if he'll go in as a Raven, maybe Stover if a kicker ever gets in again...and it's doubtful that Rod Woodson goes in as a Raven, but he was on the '00 SB-winning team). So there's another upside to Baltimore.

The two teams are tied in "quarterbacks with stupid faces," but Flacco has the highest win percentage to start a career (first four years) in the modern era, as well as the most playoff wins in their first four years of any QB, ever. Edge to Baltimore, again...though Rivers does lead the league in petulantly tossing the ball at his linemen's feet like a spoiled child whenever something goes wrong.

You used the word "storied." Well, you can't really do that in 16 years, not in the NFL where there's franchises like Green Bay, NYG, Dallas (since the '80s, at least), SF, and as much as I'm loathe to admit it, Pittsburgh and the Colts, all of whom have been relatively solid for something like 30-60 years. But nobody ever puts the Chargers in their category, EVER, and if the Ravens keep it up for another decade or two they'll be up there with those teams. For sure.

Ooooh those Niners shirts are nice, think of all the Haitian kids that need to wipe their ass with something that no one possibly has a use for.

Kornchex: I merely found it ironic that the guy who throws the word Chokers around had to watch his team choke so nicely at the end of the season.

I gotta ask you, as a Chargers fan, what do you find more embarrassing, your team's constant under-performance or your team's fight song?

Oh is it that time of year for this article again?

Pittsburgh is much more depressing than Baltimore!
