....First let me say I don't care what Nike does....they can use Charles Manson to sell their shoes if they want to....but it's some what hypocritical to say that they did not put him under "contract"......they just GAVE him some products........hum....how come Nike never GAVE my black #@ "no" shoes......Vick does not need any FREE SHOES!....it's a fair bet to say he makes more money than anyone on this list......they gave him shoes because he is a visible, walking, real live, breathing professional athlete ENDORSEMENT...whether they pay him or not is besides the point......think about it...Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
