08:01 AM ET 09.27 | A Nike cover-up continued Wednesday when Under Armour endorser Tom Brady appeared at a news conference with a piece of tape over the swoosh of his team sweatshirt. In Week 1 of the NFL season, Washington Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III made headlines when he wrote the word "heart" over the Nike logo on his warm-up shirt. The league told Griffin not to obscure the logo in the future. Nike is in the first year of its deal as the official outfitter of the NFL. ... We wonder if all this logo-covering defeats the purpose of obscuring a logo. Isn't this just drawing more attention to Nike? That swoosh is so ubiquitous I doubt people even notice it anymore. Covering it draws attention to it. We know what's under there, Tom.

That is not news fit to print. We shall not speak of it. Pay attention to the swoosh and the attempts to cover it up. We shall not speak of the strike again.

Very, very, very little.
I do not own anything with a swoosh on it... on sheer principle.

<The only appropriate thing to do when a player covers up the NFL's main sponser is to suspend that player for the remainder of the year. Brady FIRST! That should send a message not to mess with Nike>

Remember when they fined Jim McMahon for wearing a non-approved headband on the sidelines? The next week, he showed up with a white headband with "Rozelle" written on it. Classic.
