    Just a random thought from the game. Did Cato get some tattoo's removed in the offseason? Either that or he was wearing make-up. I have a really large tattoo myself but I think the multiple tattoo's on a lot of players are starting to look a little trashy. I can't understand why an athlete, who's entire gaol is to make as much money as possible in a short period of time, would hurt there sponsorship opportunities by decorating there arms with such trivial sh*t.

    I agree. Can you imagine the $$ they'd rake in by getting corporate logos tattooed onto their arms instead of silly skulls and snakes? [​IMG]

    *Hmmmmm, interesting business idea*
    Man, what a money making idea.....tattoo advertising.

    Sam, do you mind if I make millions off your idea and not share any of it with you?

    Can you imagine what they would've had to pay Jordan to scar his body with a Nike swoosh tattoo? [​IMG]

    i knew a guy with a nike swoosh on the back of his neck. he also had a HUGE picture of the virgin mary on his entire back. he also had a propensity for stealing cars and spending weeks in the bexar county jail. all this and his parents have money. he's just an idiot.

    hold up, where am i going with this? i've been at work too long.

    anyways, i wonder if any athletes are getting endorsement money for tatoos. it'd be a hell of a marketing tool. talk about permanent advertising.

    Essentially the top two players to come out of college the last couple of years are Duncan, Carter, and Francis.

    Hoop-T, be my guest! As long as I can get some fame and/or noteriety out of the deal.

    By the way, I had a car once that was a hoopty. Any relation?
