Customer Review: Great
The jersey was really nice. It made a great Christmas gift for a Patriots fan.


Spending the better part of 40+ years with a variety of major fashion retailers, I have learned some certain truths. Along with the inevitability of death and taxes is the truth that , in fashion, what had gone around comes around again. The cycle is usually generational. For some reason, every 40 years the essence of the hot fashion of the time is revived and given the title "Retro". It was only natural, that with the upsurge in Vintage Automobile collecting and racing, some of the hot fashion associated with with the era of the 1960's / 1970's would start showing up about now - and also inevitable that there would be a large appeal to a younger, non automotive related audience.

First comes the fabric. Leather jackets have always been cool, but when worn by Marlon Brando and his motorcycle gang, Jimmy Dean in his Porsche 550, Steve McQueen "The King of Cool" in the Great Escape - "cool" had a new meaning. Leather in jackets relating to automobiles, modern and vintage, is back with a vengence. Next comes the style. When I was buying jackets back in the late 60's / early 70's there was one style designed for "cool " drivers and its generic name was the descriptive name of the company - "Style Auto". Literally thousands of dozens of this style in a variety of fabric were made. It's baaaack.

Tony "a2z racer" Adamowicz, working from his original 1970 collection of jackets has produced and is marketing an improved retro Top Grain Leather Jacket that captures the essence of the original. Perfect for both the new and old Porsche, Corvette, BMW, Shelby Mustang GT500, etc. Tony, who just had a podium finish at Infineon Raceway in his 40 year old 1969 F5000 Championship car, said that he will also be designing this Satin Lined, Leather Jacket in other fabrics including Corduroy and Nylon Cire. Tony plans to be styling in his vintage Datsun 240Z. I plan to follow suit in my 65 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. Niche market to mainstream continues to be the mantra for retro design.

Green Bay Packers - Donald Driver 2007 Upper Deck Collectibles NFL Ford SVT Adrenalin Concept with Card




1. Steelers. 12-4. Another convincing division win and solid playoff performance puts them in the Super Bowl again.

2. Colts. 12-4. Had bad luck in the playoffs, but they are still a league force.

3. Giants. 12-4. Stumbled a bit, but the defense is unbeatable.

4. Titans. 13-3. Had a nice season, and nearly beat the impressive Ravens.

5. Ravens. 11-5. Made a nice run with rookie Joe Flacco but got beaten by the rival Steelers... good season.

6. Panthers. 12-4. Taken by surprise in the playoffs, but had an overall great season.

7. Cardinals. 9-7. Carried by Fitzgerald, they sneak into the playoffs, and then make a solid run to lead Warner to another emotional Super Bowl with the Steelers.

8. Eagles. 9-6-(1). Got cut short by the Cardinals deep passing game, but really showed that they have what it takes.

9. Chargers. 8-8. Little production from LT in the playoffs cut San Diego short yet again in the postseason, but they are a consistently threatening team.

10. Falcons. 11-5. Led by Matt Ryan, Atlanta made a push, but stumbled at a bad time. No one expected the depleted Falcons to have this kind of success.

11. Vikings. 10-6. Choked early in the playoffs, but ended up not having a bad year, taking advantage of the departure of Brett Favre from Green Bay and winning the division.

12. Dolphins. 11-5. Admired for their tremendous bounce-back season, but a little disappointing in the postseason. All in all, not a poor year by any stretch for the previously 1-15 Miami squad.

13. Patriots. 11-5. One of the best non-playoff teams ever. What a bad break for New England to get cut short.

14. Buccaneers. 9-7. Bad losing streak to end the season, but had a solid year prior to that.

15. Cowboys. 9-7. Mid-season crisis leads to a terrible outcome for the Cowboys, seeing as they were popular picks to take home the Lombardi trophy.

16. Saints. 8-8. One of the better divisions in football, and New Orleans ends up in dead last, despite finishing at 500. Oh well, congrats Drew Brees on an almost-historic season.

17. Jets. 9-7. Led by Brett Favre, they had shots at a playoff birth, but didn't have great execution in the clutch.

18. Broncos. 8-8. Missed the playoffs by 1 game, but really not impressive throughout the season. Lots of injuries, which they look to take care of next season.

19. Redskins. 8-8. Adversity with injuries and a new coach, ultimately leading to a letdown season. Lots of room for improvement on offense, but Clinton Portis did a nice job.

20. Bears. 9-7. Up-and-down season for Chicago, but really no excuses for their lack of production. They have absolutely no quarterback.

21. Packers. 6-10. Big choke at the end of the season. Aaron Rodgers may be the future here, look for big things in Green Bay coming up.

22. Bills. 7-9. Another shaky season in Buffalo. Can they ever learn to be consistent?

23. Jaguars. 5-11. A highly talented team that lacks discipline and consistency. Could be a Wild Card threat in the near future.

24. Browns. 4-12. A generous rank, because there is talent here. Browns will surprise next year.

25. Seahawks. 4-12. Unexpectedly bad season. No room for excuses in Seattle.

26. 49ers. 7-9. A low rank for the final record, but the 49ers just are not a good team.

27. Texans. 8-8. Another stingy rank, but they are incapable of winning that division while Peyton Manning remains with Indy. Look down the road a few years for Houston, with possible success later on.

28. Raiders. 5-11. They can't get anything right.

29. Rams. 2-14. Atrocious season. No hope for the Rams next season, but look for a strong rebuilding proccess and come back to St. Louis in a few years.

30. Chiefs. 2-14. One of the NFL's worst teams. No hope for the miserable Chiefs.

31. Bengals. 4-11-(1). Not a bad team, but the hubbub involving Chad Johnson is getting to my head. It's all downhill from here on out for the distracted, frustrated, Cincinnati Bengals.

32. Lions. 0-16. This abysmal record got Detroit a spot in Canton, Ohio. Sorry Lions, but you are pitiful. No hope.

My Super Bowl prediction
Pittsburgh Steelers 32
Arizona Cardinals 19

Next year's teams to watch: (Predicted record)
Saints (11-5, 3rd seed)
Packers (10-6, Wild Card)
Browns (10-6, no playoffs)

Next year's letdowns: (Predicted record)
Panthers (8-8)
Jets (6-10)
Cowboys (8-8)

What a great season it has been. Congratulations to Peyton Manning for his MVP award. Congratulations to all the playoff teams for a well-played season. Good luck to Pittsburgh and Arizona, and congratulations to all the outstanding athletes going to the Pro Bowl. Hope all your teams do well in 09-10. It's been great. Thanks for reading,

The film world was saddened this holiday season with news of the passing of Ann Savage - perhaps the original Femme Fatale. 'Femme Fatale' roughly interpreted, stands for 'Fatal Woman.' Get too close and you lose your good judgment, get whacked or at least seriously embarrassed. Using the universal laws of attraction, the standard methodology includes luring unsuspecting folks to listen to seductive language and in the end, cause some really poor decisions. As college football heads into the annual period of depression known as winter, some programs will be hard at work to rebuild or to at least get dog programs to respectability. Coaching candidates offer seductive language, grand visions and in some instances, cause the hiring institutions to make some really poor decisions.

In the end, schools have to try something radical to turn losers into winners. Witness the University of Buffalo. For years a doormat program, the Bulls actually achieved an unbelievable level of success in 2008 with a bowl appearance. Even though the Bulls lost to UConn in the International Bowl, this is a remarkable turn-around for a program that in the not too distant past, was simply the laughingstock of eastern college football. Congrats then to the Bulls and coach Turner Gill. This is what one would refer to as a "good hire."

Which coaching decisions will turn out to be the poor ones? One never knows for sure, but there are some bizarre story lines already forming on the surface of the 2009 season. Iowa State got really lucky in having its 2-10 coach hired away by - of all people - Auburn. This saved the school from itself when the Cyclone brass offered the former coach a contract extension. Racking up 2008 season wins over South Dakota State and Kent State at the beginning of the season, the Cyclones proceeded to lose everything else. Iowa State then replaced its lost head coach with native Iowan Paul Rhoads. Rhoads brings impressive credentials, a commitment to win in the state of Iowa and comes to the Cyclones from -of all places - Auburn. 2009 will see which school got the best end of this deal. Stay tuned on this one!

The Sage of College Football (your humble author) wishes Coach Steve Sarkisian at Washington the best of luck in 2009. Coach Sark probably read the tea leaves in his former position at USC and determined that his upward upward mobility would be better served by looking for another institution to craft into a winner. But Washington? The Huskies ended this past season winless - the first perfectly dreadful season for a Pac-10 school. If the Huskies turn in a few wins in 2009, coach Sark will really have accomplished something significant. Then look out for the purple dogs in 2012.

The opportunity to turn a loser into a winner will frequently override a coaching candidate's better judgment. The Sage hopes that New New Mexico State Coach DeWayne Walker made a good choice. Walker is the 33rd head coach of the Aggies and has his work cut out for him. The Aggies managed a single conference win last season and probably have the Cornhuskers, Michigan and a variety of other schools trying to get 'em on their home schedules. Should Walker get a couple of wins, New Mexico State's biggest challenge will be keeping him.

Going north from Las Cruces, the University of New Mexico also found itself in need of a new head football coach following the resignation of coach and alum Rocky Long. Never a powerhouse in the Mountain West Conference, New Mexico was in need of a recruiting ace to lure decent players to Albuquerque. Interestingly, the Lobos managed to convince Mike Locksley to give up his position as Offensive Coordinator at Illinois to try and push UNM in the right direction. This will take quite a bit of pushing. However, among Locksley's qualifications is a top 25 recruiting rating from Sports Illustrated. Should Locksley attract better players than have previously taken the field for the Lobos and get some wins in old UNM Stadium, other programs are going to want to know exactly how he did it. They are also going to want to hire him. Both football programs in the state of New Mexico need to make generous contract extension offers should either of their new coaches appear to be getting their respective programs turned around.

Brady Hoke, formerly Head Coach at Ball State, now finds himself in the same position at San Diego State. Admittedly, SDSU could offer things that Ball State couldn't - like a beach and decent weather. Hoke traded in his #12 Ball State Cardinals for one of the worst programs going. If he can turn it around in South California, he will be one of the hottest coaching commodities going. The Aztecs also better have a retention plan in place should Hoke start winning. There isn't a task more daunting than taking over a perennial loser and turning it around - except perhaps for taking over a program that is used to winning and keeping it that way. Witness Lane Kiffen -the new Head Coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and former Head Coach of the NFL's Oakland Raiders. Here is a guy who won't miss church the rest of the year. Getting fired by Al Davis at Oakland is not a disgrace as much as it is a blessing. But then to land in Knoxville? A bowl appearance in 2009 would be the 'hat trick.' There is real pressure in Knoxville, though, and 104,000 fans will be in Neyland Stadium for every home game to apply it.

The annual shuffling of the head coaching ranks has just about ended now for 2009. The motivational speeches are being prepared for the Spring Games heralding a "new way of thinking," "a winning attitude," "putting the past behind us," and "making something special happen." These are all great speeches, and are essentially given to every college level player with the courage to take the field for a losing program. Next September, we will finally see which programs have been lured in with sweet talk of victory and which programs actually deliver. The unfortunate part of hiring coaches is that a good decision is rewarded with having to come up with a big contract extension. A poor decision puts your program right back in the dumper.

New England Patriots - Logo Soft Lunch Box NFL Pro Football




Parents of athletically-gifted children are understandably eager to participate in increasing their children's odds in playing professional sports. Good parents are happy to help their kids flourish in their field where they can use their given talents to benefit others as well as themselves. If their child has a talent for football, for instance, they would like to get up-to-date with college football recruiting news. However, other than that they are usually at a loss on how exactly they can help.

Here are a few things parents can keep in mind as they help their kids during college football recruiting:

First, parents need to understand the capabilities of their children. Some teenagers are able to handle the most of the work involved in hunting for prospective colleges. They like the challenge and need little more than approval and support. Others, however, need more motivation and guidance, so parents need to take a more active role. In order to determine which group their particular child belongs to, parents can observe how the child handles homework. Watching how their son or daughter responds to school assignments can help them determine how involved they need to be in looking for the right scholarship offers during college football recruiting.

Kids and parents alike sometimes don't realize that senior year is just too late in the game to check up on prospective schools with college football recruiting. Gathering information on colleges, their courses, their mission statements, history and other details is important. Setting aside a folder for each school that may come under consideration is a useful way of organizing necessary data. Deadlines for submitting requirements may and do differ from school to school, and parents need to keep track of them.

Information is readily available. The Internet has proven to be a useful venue for students, parents, and even coaches looking for college football recruiting news and other related information. There are many websites and online forums wherein students and scouts can come together and interact. D1Athletes is an online community wherein high school athletes and coaches alike can share and exchange college football recruiting news and information they need. D1Athletes offers them a place to build an online presence and gain important public exposure.

Customer Review: Colts blanket - Gift for Grandson
Indianapolis Colts Fleece NFL Blanket (Shadow Series) by Northwest (50""x60"")This Colts blanket was a gift for my 10 year old Grandson and he absolutely loves it!! It fits nicely on his single bed. It's very soft and warm; Perfect size and weight for a game!!
Customer Review: Very comfy and warm
I got this for my sister-in-law as a gift and so far it's a hit. After she opened the present, she spent the rest of the day walking around with the blanket wrapped around her like a cape. She loves the design and we both agree that it's one of the softest materials we've felt (fleece is always a good move). She's a rabid Colts fan and always has the blanket out on display in the house. It was a great purchase and worked well as a gift, and the price is certainly right.


Professional football is one of the top sports that people are interested in watching. One of the most popular teams among people is the Dallas Cowboys. But you dont have to be from Dallas to love the Cowboys, nor do you have to be from Florida to love the Dolphins, or any other team for that matter. So far the Cowboys have 5 league championships, and 5 super bowl championships under their belt. The Dallas Cowboys originally known as the Dallas Steers and then the Dallas Rangers, finally settled on the name "Cowboys" for the 1960 season. Since the Dallas Cowboys are such a popular team you can bet many people buy Cowboy apparel including but not limited to Jersey's, Hats, Jackets, T-shirts, even house ware items! Some of the most popular items with in those categories however are things like Tony Romo Authentic Jersey's, Dallas Cowboys Throwback Jerseys, Troy Aikman Jerseys, Emmit Smith Jerseys and of course Dallas Cowboy Super Bowl Memorabilia.

Just about anyone can find any of these items for sale online. But where is THE best places to look? Who has the best prices? Lets take the Emmitt Smith Jersey into account on this. If you buy it from the Dallas Cowboy e-store you can expect to pay at least $79.99 for a Legend Jersey. Thats a lot of money! If you buy it from an auction site like eBay you can expect to pay somewhere around $25-$40. Ok that sounds a little better! Some people absolutely will pay any price to buy from a well known store. Other people just want the jersey and dont mind if its from a site like eBay. I could go either way personally. Ive found things on eBay that were $400 in the OFFICIAL store, and on eBay it was selling, brand new, tags still on for $100. Its all about personal preferences, I think.

If you are going to buy things on eBay theres a few things you need to know. Firstly when looking for a jersey or anything else, you have to know where to look and what to look for. If your looking for a jersey by a certain team player, your best bet is to start your search with that. Example, you want a Troy Aikman hat and you dont know where to look on eBay. When you search for hats, 5million results come up. So instead search for Troy Aikman hat(s). This will most likely bring up hats involving Troy Aikman. Or just search for Troy Aikman and then you can narrow your results on the sidebar menu (left hand side). Pay attention to the "product description" when your looking at items to potentially buy. Check out some of the acronyms. Theres a lot but Ill list some of the ones that have to do with the quality or newness of the item.

BNWL- Brand new with label
COA- Certificate of Authenticity
HTF- Hard To Find
LE-Limited Edition
LN - LIKE NEW
MIB- Mint in Box
NB- Name Brand
NWOT- New without Tags
NWT- New with Tags

Some of these acronyms can save you a lot of time and heart ache! Make sure you ask questions to the seller before buying. And also make sure you read any and all of the print the seller has included on the page. Theres also other things you can buy on eBay that are going to be cheaper, besides apparel. Things like Dallas Cowboy house ware items, memorabilia like souvenirs, old ticket stubs, autographs, cards etc. Say your looking for an autograph by Tony Romo. On a retail site it would cost $299-$349 just for a photo frame! And with sites like eBay a mere $125 for an authentic signed photo. Thats a pretty penny right there. If you can save some money and still get a quality product, why wouldn't you? Another great thing about auction sites is a lot of people on there have stores, so they sell this stuff for a living. And all their products are authentic and BRAND NEW just like if you would buy it in a certain retail store. The next time your searching for some really great Dallas Cowboy gear, why not have a look and see for yourself. I can bet that 9 out of 10 times the auction site will have better prices, matched quality, and even greater availability!

The launch of the 2007 Dallas Cowboys Football season is just days away. NFL fans everywhere are gearing up for the action and hoping for a stellar season for their teamnone more so than Dallas Cowboys fans.

After a rough end to the 2006 season which saw the Cowboys lose a heart breaker to the Seattle Seahawks in the last minute of the first round of the play-offs, following a botched field goal hold by quarterback Tony Romo, fans are looking for a brighter, uneventful year ahead. The end of the 2006 season also marked the end for Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells.

As the new season of football begins the Dallas Cowboys will take to the field with a quarterback, who has something to prove, and with a new head coach at the helm. On February 8, 2007, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced that Wade Phillips would be taking over as the Dallas Cowboys head coach.

A native of Texas, Phillips attended the University of Houston where he spent three years as a starter at linebacker. His coaching career began with the Houston Oilers where he held the position of defensive line coach under head coach O.A. Bum Phillips, his father. The father and son coaching duo then moved on to the New Orleans Saints where Bum Phillips stepped down in 1985 as coach of the struggling team. Wade Phillips was named interim coach. From there Wade Phillips moved to defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, followed by the Denver Broncos.

In 1993 Phillips replaced out going Coach Dan Reeves as head coach of the Broncos. By the 1995 season he had moved on to coach the Buffalo Bills, his most successful coaching stint to date, followed by the Atlanta Falcons. For the past three seasons Phillips has held the position of defensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers. His move to the position of Dallas Cowboys head coach comes at a time when he is considered one of the best defensive minds in football. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is said to have interviewed 10 potential head coaches before determining that Phillips was the man to lead his team.

There is a sense of optimism as teams get ready to begin their season and the road to Super Bowl XLII - fans all across the NFL are hopeful that this could be the year for their team. The season ahead for the Dallas Cowboys is bright. When the team kicks off against the NY Giants on September 9, theres little doubt that all eyes will be on Tony Romo and the new man at the helm, Wade Phillips.

A lifetime fan of the Dallas Cowboys, has decided to take his love for "Americas team" to the next level. Visit his online creation - Dallas-Cowboys-Apparel.com

This site filled with Dallas Cowboys Merchandise and just about anything related to Dallas Cowobys footbal. This is a dream comes true for for this life long fan.
