- Then Tommy Roberson, who compiled WTS posts most of last season, ordered this:

Why does the t-shirt depict Cam wearing #2? Is this the pre-draft, individual equivalent of those losing super bowl championship team shirts that get shipped overseas?
Like the shirt but the only seller on Amazon has a 67% positive feedback rating? Bill, you need to sell some shirts on your site!
Perhaps one day. And FYI – we had nothing to do with that shirt. No idea why they included the logo.
Between the #2 and the stolen BBR logo, that shirt is gold.
Also, good read from Shula (although it still stings…a lot). GQ article was interesting, but I agree that Cam shouldn’t take such a passive approach to issues in this country. Its tough when your fan base is North Carolina tho (no offense to NC, but its bible belt through and through).
