I wouldn't know a putter from a 5 iron.

There's a story that's told about Arnold Palmer's wife appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. This would be Winnie Palmer, and the time was the late '60s. According to this legend, the following was part of the conversation between Winnie and Johnny:

Johnny: Do you do anything for Arnold before a tournament as a sort of good-luck charm or superstition?
Mrs. Palmer: I kiss his balls.

Johnny: Well ... I bet that makes his putter flutter.

Sports Business Journal recently reported that the sale of NFL-licensed products is experiencing the softest market since the economic recession of 2008, with some licensees reporting dips of 20 percent or more. Some merchandise licensees were quick to blame the protests for the decline in business; others pointed to other factors.

I fact chected this with the left leaning snopes and besides their bias (they clam this is a "Mixture") They found 5 of the 7 points are TRUE.  The remaining 2 they say are a mixture of truth but in reality if you read their explanation you will see they are in fact mostly True.

The Verdict.  Snopes suck and so does the NFL
