We’ve got you covered for the whole NFL season – and as you watch teams play in miserably cold conditions, be sure to cuddle up with your very own NFL blanket.

Every NFL team is available in four classic fabrics: polar fleece, novelty cotton, cotton flannel and tailgating vinyl. You can make:

  • A blanket and pillows for games (yes, you can throw the pillows at the TV).
  • Sheets and a bedspread (for the kids, of course – unless you really love your team).
  • Banners (show your colors!).
  • Pajamas, fleeces, dresses (Sunday is church day too), whatever – use your imagination!

“Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.

We have the technology.

We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic man.

Steve Austin will be that man;

better than he was before.

Better, stronger, faster.”

– from the opening sequence to the Six Million Dollar Man

If you were going to build a better man where you begin? The muscles? The limbs? The brain? The… hair? The titular character from the television series Six Million Dollar Man had bionic limbs and an infrared eye with a 20:1 zoom capability. In saving him from a terrible plane crash, the government famously spent six million dollars to make special agent Steve Austin “better, stronger, faster”.

How One Play Changed a Season: College Football Week 1

(OU’s season… almost)

Sooner Nation let out a collective gasp a little ways into the team’s first game as quarterback and Heisman winner Sam Bradford was injured in the closing seconds of the first half. The third ranked Sooners has high hopes for this season having appeared in last year’s national championship game. But after Bradford’s injury Oklahoma couldn’t get rolling and lost an exciting game to the 20th ranked Brigham Young Cougars. Just like that Oklahoma’s season seemed to be over almost as soon as it began. Although it is estimated that Bradford might only miss 2-4 weeks of the season, that might be all that’s needed for the other contenders in the perennially tough Big 12 to separate themselves from the Sooners.

While OU stumbled, other programs took steps to cement their status as contenders. #1 Florida, #4 USC, #2 Texas, #9 Penn State, and #8 Ole Miss all rolled over their opponents. Closer calls were had by #6 Ohio State, which barely escaped Navy, and #22 Iowa, which eked out a one point victory over Northern Iowa. Some of the bigger matchups were compelling: top-ten ranked Oklahoma State defeated #13 Georgia, #14 Boise State beat #16 Oregon, and #5 Alabama won against #7 Virginia Tech.

NFL Week 1 Review- McNabb and His Ribs

We’re barely a week into the NFL’s season and already the Eagles’ faithful are fretting over the state of Donovan McNabb’s health. The past few seasons McNabb has experienced a variety of injuries but he often seems to find a way to fight through the pain. This past Sunday afternoon, he fractured a rib on his lower left side, but coach Andy Reid thinks there’s a chance Donovan might play next week against the Saints. The Eagles will be facing a prolific offense with Drew Brees at the helm and could certainly use an effective McNabb. The Saints are coming off a 45-27 thrashing of the Detroit Lions. In the case of both teams next week’s game will be a truer test of their mettle than their first opponents could provide.

Who do you think will win the battle between the Eagles’ stout defense and the Saints’ prodigious offense?
