Blake getting to work with his idol, Derek Jeter. Congratulations to Blake. He'll be a great ambassador for the clothing brand.
This is awesome. I wonder why big companies like Nike aren't getting in on signing college football and basketball players and gambling on them becoming bigger names.
Never works out...
Go see Air if you haven't yet. Enjoyable movie.
His foot was way past the line.

Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
Nike got in with Juju Watkins and Bronny James. They are both Seniors in HS and will be on college campuses in the fall. On the flip side Puma signed a multi year deal with basketball prodigy Mikey Williams...he just got arrested yesterday on 5 counts of assault w/ deadly weapon. Choose wisely!!!!
I think i am liking the quality of Puma and Adidas to Nike. Puma and Addidas have a very interesting history (founded by German brothers before WW2, then split into the 2 companies and hated each other).
I should add that I never heard of Derek Jeter's company. However, taking on Blake already makes we want to buy some of their stuff. The NIL will be money well spent.

I mean, who had heard of Derek Jeter's company until Blake Corum joined on? I.e., Jeter's company needs athletes like Corum to become known.
The Player's Tribune is awesome, I'm sure his athletic apparel is no different. Congrats Blake, you deserve it!
They better make some very wide leg opening shorts
Jeter saw Corum wreck Sparty in person and knew immediately he had to sign that guy

Derek Jeter is benefiting from this far more than Blake Corum is.
Agreed
