So, I'm with my wife and we go to Burlingtons. This is the equivalent of TJ Maxx/Rugged Warehouse/Ross/Marshall's in the South. Anyways, I walk in and directly to the athletic apparel section as always. I get back there and I'll be damned! I could have sworn I was at the Lambeau Field team store. You name it, it was there. Officially licensed gear galore. Polo's orig price $80 for $20. They had them in green/white/grey/yellow. Official Nike Jerseys deeply discounted, graphic tees with all kinds of different colors and logos. Official sideline gear, hoodies, rain jackets. Like I said you name it, and it was there. The more I looked, the more pissed off I got! I got so mad, that at one point I began laughing at my luck. No way in hell I could be lucky enough to go to a store like that chalked full of Panthers gear! Man I was pissed, and still am. I would have bought it all, my wife even said too bad it's not Carolina, you'd be set for life. This was legitimate gear too, not knockoff "cheap jersey" stuff. We're talking dri fit really nice stuff for chump change. I have zero relatives that are Packets fans. Too bad for that, I could have racked up on Christmas gifts for years. I'm so disappointed man. Like why can't I get lucky just once? I did do the honorable thing and post it on Craigslist for any Packers fan to see, so that they can get the deal.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Still bumbed. I mean, there's nothing I can do about it, but this is one of those situations that will continue to piss me off everytime I buy Panthers gear for the foreseeable future. I'll think, if only that damned Burlington would have had Panthers stuff.

Misdelivery most likely. Once back in Charlotte at the Uptown Target, they had Iowa State gear instead of Tarheel gear. MAJOR discount on it. Not sure why they didn't send it back.

It's Iowa State - mayne the supplier didn't want it back.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
