Adidas tries too hard to steal market share from Nike.  

Only thing I like from Adidas better than Nike are their Taylormade golf equipment.  

Man, i need to get a new battery for my uniform give-a-****- meter.

Sorry about that.  I thought you mentioned that runs were going to be at a premium.  Perhaps I didn't read your post closely enough.  Multitasking here.
