Under Armour is winning right now
 

The Golden State Warriors won their first championship in 40 years capping off a magical season in which point guard Stephen Curry won league MVP. You could also make the case that he should have won finals MVP. 

 
Jordan Spieth won his second major of the 2015 season becoming only the fourth player since 1958 to win the first two majors to start the season. Spieth is currently the 2nd ranked player in the world behind only Rory McIlroy.

And I live in Baltimore, HQ of Under Armour...coincidence?

Side note...why does Under Armour spell armor like a Brit? The guy is from Baltimore.

Never mind. Google is your friend:

"Oh, and the reason we added the 'U' in 'Armour' is that I was skeptical at the time about whether this whole internet thing would stick," Plank told The Post. "So I thought the phone number 888-4ARMOUR was much more compelling than 888-44ARMOR. I wish there was a little more science or an entire marketing study behind it, but it was that simple."

Also, Auburn is an Under Armour school.

Auburn was the first major college to sign a deal with Under Armour.  (Actually, Maryland was, but Maryland doesn't count IMO because the owner and CEO of Under Armour is a Maryland alum.  Saying Maryland signed with Under Armour is kinda like saying Oregon signed with Nike.  DUH.)

Connection to Auburn:  Cam and CAP.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
