    Put some Charlotte Bobcats tickets in the boxes. That'll teach 'em.

    Call me skeptical after 20something years in this racket, but it's like when a new IKEA opens ... how much of this is hype?

    Anyone getting stabbed over Raiders or L.A. Kings jerseys?

    Love the doofus in Atlanta who completely botches the Nike catchphrase. "Most of us probably remember the old Nike commercial with the line, 'It's the shoes' ..."

    I'm not sure which is worse: rioting over a pair of over-priced shoes or actually paying for the over-priced shoes.

    I don't think I've paid more than $40 ever.

    More money than brains. And more stupidity than both.

    $40 is my cutoff, too.

    My God, you'd think an octogenarian got fired or something.

    Money? Bet 90-percent of these were credit card transactions.

    Hype perhaps, but I know I wouldn't go to an IKEA in the first week of opening unless they were handing out $100s at the door.

    Buy the damned shoes online if you MUST buy those shoes and you will avoid the physical risk to your person in the process.
