should just change it to miller tyme
The Olympics are one big money grab these days…I’ll watch some events but I wouldn’t give them a dime.
Thats exactly it, the sponsors give them so much money its insane and beyond the main sponsors there are partners, then supporters, then everyone else… Its impossible to not support the olympics when you think about it. They were running fiber up mountains like it was free Bell canada was in charge of that but they hired out because they had hundereds of employees on site. Anything we asked for they (vanoc) bought it. I needed a ladder for 10 minutes I ended up borrowing one but before I did the project managers assistant was already getting in a truck to go to home depot to buy one and bill it back to VANOC. Flash drives to image PCs, they went out and got me 5 16 GIG thumb drives. Each site has at least a 10 sets of airport style xray machines and metal detectors. All of that will be re sold after the olympics for a huge discount. Just imagine 10 different departments of people all being able to spend whatever they want on just about anything as long as they say its for the olympics. The only thing they don’t really spend money on are people working at the olympics. A lot are volunteer but all of the people working are given tons of free shit in their goody bags. Each person got a few shirts, gloves, jacket, hat, snow bibs and a back pack. I would think thats at least $100 worth of free stuff.
hey rob. tell anyone that is going to the usa game tonight to start chanting miller time when miller makes a save.
Wish I could but us peons got sent home before the games started. The upper management got to go and act as field techs for the actual events. I was bitter about it but after seeing how far away i would have actually been from any events I am ok with it.
oh well, such is life…not always ‘fair’
deal with it
panties twisted?
I can still see the bulldog on his helmet right now but they haven’t focused in close to see if any of the text is there.\
EDIT:
Miller Time has been covered up by a USA sticker. Matt Man is still there.
Is Matts Beer still around? When I was much younger Matt’s beer balls were popular with the kids.
actually… yes.
logos get covered up.
Same thing in the NHL.
Pete smith has been making hockey gear for decades. Know why his stuff isn’t in the NHL? Have to pay advertising fees for your logos to appear. Same thing with Simmons, Vortek, GDI & Vortek, etc etc.
advertising costs a lot of money. They need advertising for revenue, everything is a business. So how likely would one company be to pay for advertising while other companies were getting it for free?
and whenever you see ski gear, etc; oakley, atomic, whatever else were mentioned, guess what; they paid for their logos to be there.
all that said, I think it’s bs to ask miller to take “matt man” off his bucket.
I was watching the boarder-x last night. One girl had a really nicely painted helmet. There was some wording going all the way across the side. It was covered up with a bunch of pink snowflakes though. So don’t feel bad, they’re doing it to a lot more than just ryan miller.
So he had to cover up Miller Time but Matt Man was allowed once he explained it. Sounds fine to me.
^^ Agreed.
