Even thought he eventually played for the Vikings and took them to the playoffs, I could never stand this guy.

As dirty as this play was, my favorite McMahon memory:

I think my parents got me a generic Redskins jersey back when I was little. I don't think it was an actual player. One of those ones you got out of the JC Penney catalog.

I think the actual one I first got with a player on it would be a Priest Holmes Chiefs jersey.

Never been a jersey buyer or wearer. So I don't have a first.


I had a Zorich and Payton jersey when I was growing up. As an adult I have a Payton jersey, but I rarely wear it. Seems a bit tacky wear around (other than in my house when I'm watching a game) IMO.

Matt Forte Bears jersey

I guess technically I could say I had a Marino jersey, but it was for a Halloween costume when I was like 2.

Mine was either Mean Joe Green #75 or Franco Harris #32. I can't remember which it was now.

As long as the player is older than you, I don't think it's tacky to wear the jersey. Now if you're an old guy that is wearing a jersey of a rookie, i find that tacky. (unless it's family)

Shaun Alexander. Bought it to rub it into the noses of my leaguemates at our fantasy draft after I won the league the previous year.

I haven't had a reason to buy an additional jerseys. :(
