J. Ryan, this was incredible. Excellent work, as always. Scott Fujita and Gary Brackett have amazing stories that, until now, I had now idea about. Thanks!

Brilliant.

What are the number 2 and 1 on the favorite sports apparel list?

I'm not saying that it's easy to come from a DIII school and make an NFL team but if it's gonna happen it's gonna be from Mt. Union. They crush every year. Players on the cusp of getting a DI scholarship often go to Mt. Union instead of a DII school. Just sayin'.

Now I gotta find my staple gun and take care of this chode.

Thanks for reading, guys.

Joe -- thanks for the info about Mt. Union. I realize now that my analogy by way of comparison is a little too harsh; Garcon did get *drafted* after all. While only two players since the 1920s is pretty small (even Gustavus can claim *one*), facts are facts.

Other jerseys: Junior "Joe" Ortiz's "0" (but only for Ortiz) -- and I'm still a sucker for Rod "He Hate Me" Smart. My favorite, however, is Russell Martin's "J. Martin" -- The J. is an homage to his dead mother's name. I think that's pretty boss.
