I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what is so noteworthy about a player being willing to give up a pair of stinky cleats he didn't pay for and won't be wearing again. More than likely he would have simply tossed them in the garbage after the game anyway.

I think sometimes fans lose touch with just how tremendous the money is that these men are making. My household brings in less than $20,000 a year and we have everything we need and almost everything we could possibly want. I can't imagine what life would be like bringing in over $300,000 a year (the rookie minimum), much less the multiple millions per year a lot of the players earn. I don't think most fans have the capacity to do so either.

I don't make very much money, but if anyone on this board was in need of a pair of cleats, I'd buy it for them and probably wouldn't even blink. What's so special about a very rich man giving away a pair of cleats he didn't even buy?

He wore them during a game. He's awesome. Most players don't offer collector's items like this to fans. It's not the money that's the thing here, it's contact with the fans.

He wore them during the game, so they're special? That kind of thought process borders on fetishistic in my head.

Ever wanted an autograph? Some dude just writes on a paper and that's special?

And yeah, I think having a pair of cleats Bishop wore during a game would be great. It wouldn't change my life or anything but still.

No, I don't collect autographs either. For that matter, the only Packers memorabilia that I own is what other people have bought me. I don't even have an "authentic replica jersey," just some cheap knockoff that my wife bought me at the K-Mart outside Lambeau Field.

I don't cherish a pair of shoes just because my wife's feet have graced them, so I really don't get what's so special about a pair of shoes worn by a rich celebrity who doesn't know me and couldn't care less about me.
