We don't talk about the Washington Redskins too often, because it's the same story every year.  High expectations in the preseason coupled with low results on the field.  But the main problem with the Redskins is that we are perennially subpar, but never horribly bad.  We go 7-9 every season, which just puts us in limbo.  No playoffs, and no draft picks.  We need to just suck. Stop trying to win games, stop trying to stay in the middle of the pact, and just embrace the future.

Take a look at the Panthers. They sucked last year--and they got Cam Newton.  They suck this year, and they'll get another few draft picks.  In two years, they're going to have built a contending team.  Take note, Redskins.  Lose out the rest of your games, and don't make excuses along the way.

I realize that we specialize in making t-shirts, and not fixing government's economic issues, but we're going to chime in on this one, because it's that easy.  I went to Italy last year to check out the Fashion Capital, and long before the whole debt issue flared up, it was apparent to me that the Italian economy is unsustainable.

Beyond all the fine leather, Prada bags, and Colosseums, is a cash based, unrecorded economy.  Estimates are that close to 30% of GDP is unreported, and untaxed.  Amounting to about 100 Billion Euros in taxes every year.  I'm pretty sure that they could put that 100 billion Euros to work.  For some reason no one's really talking about this as being one of the underlying issues in Italy, and it boggles my mind.

The Solution: Crack down on unrecorded cash transactions, levy heavy penalties on infringers, and encourage/incentive companies and individuals to use credit cards.

That was easy. Now Italy, get back to making plazas and expensive clothing.  Stop adding to the turmoil in our economy.

In tinkering with our Keep the Ratio Strong T-shirt, our main man/designer turned the shirt into the below image.  We had different ideas of what it looked like.  I think it looks like Mickey Mouse, mid threesome, looking for the light switch.  Thoughts?

Below is the original:

Friday night I went to the Enrique Iglesias Pitbull show to see... the guitarist for Enrique, of course.  We got hooked up with front row passes to watch the Latin heartthrob perform next to his famed guitarist.  It was really a great show, I didn't realize how many songs Enrique has in his catalog--dating back to the Mid 90's.

But the highlight of the show, was watching Alex get down on the git-down rocking his Mazel Tov t-shirt.  The shirt worked wonders at Madison Square Garden.  After the show, hordes of girls came up to him asking for his phone number and where he got his t-shirt.  Luckily I was standing next to him so I got his sloppy seconds.  (Disclaimer: Both of us have girlfriends, so me getting "sloppy seconds" is just me trying to sound like I got crazy boy band ass).
