Hmm not sure, I'm from Canada so no clue.

Does sound bit of a slight jab though like a second fiddle, Robin to Batman type of thing lol

Either way show em you the first-stringer brah! 8-)

Those new collaboration kicks Federer was rocking during his first round match :o.

Anyone know if they will remain an exclusive (it debuted yesterday in New York, no where else) if if Nike/Jordan has plans to make those sneakers mainstream?

I see them on eBay already for $3350+ per auction.

Not really it just means you're a back up. I wouldn't call it an insult because back ups are important but you should always strive to be a starter.

It depends on the context. It's not much of an insult but if it's said to highlight that you aren't good enough to be a first stringer then yea, it can be insulting to someone that thinks they should be a starter.

Back at the San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that the "big bad" for the upcoming third season of "Arrow" would be none other than Ra's al Ghul. Though casting is still coming together for the character on the series, there is one person who previously played the role and would jump right back in, if he could. Speaking with MTV, Liam Neeson was asked if he had been approached about reprising the role to which he replied:

"No, I haven't, I haven't at all. I would, in a heartbeat, if it came my way, yeah, very much so."

Neeson then went on to offer whoever is cast in the role a bit of advice, saying:

"They have to believe in their philosophy. Ra's al Ghul absolutely believed what he was doing was ultimately saving civilization, and it was quite a good argument he comes up with. Throughout the ages this fraternity, that brought the plague to wipe out a section of mankind because it needed to be regenerated again. Very dangerous, but you have to believe it."

Thanks for the replies guys. I was helping my friend with some translation. After showing me the context, turns out it was meant as an insult. Two highschool football players talking smack at each other...

A woman was waiting at an airport one night,
With several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shops.
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.

She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,
That the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be.
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between,
Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.

So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,
As the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
Thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”

With each cookie she took, he took one too,
When only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie and broke it in half.

He offered her half, as he ate the other,
She snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother.
This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude,
Why he didn’t even show any gratitude!

She had never known when she had been so galled,
And sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate,
Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.

She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat,
Then she sought her book, which was almost complete.

As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,
There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.

If mine are here, she moaned in despair,
The others were his, and he tried to share.
Too late to apologize, she realized with grief,
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.
