Today, we're proclaiming Sports Biz the home of endorsement fraud. If you see an athlete wearing a brand or using a product he or she doesn't endorse, send in pictures and evidence right here. (Note: We might not be able to run them, as is the case below, if we don't have rights to it).

We suspect that they just haven't made a custom mold, but they better do it soon.
