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?

What Is Naugahyde?

The story is told of how composer Arnold Schoenberg -renowned for his thorny compositions- wished for his music to be whistled on the street. Similarly, inventors dream of creating products that become a constant part of peoples lives.

Occasionally, when an item or product becomes synonymous with the name it’s manufactured under, that name can become a genericized trademark. Despite the best efforts of the companies involved names like Velcro, Google, Clorox, Kleenex, Q-Tip, Band-Aid, and so on have become genericized trademarks. The same has also happened to Naugahyde, a type of vinyl. Not all of our customers may know that naugahyde is simply one manufacturer’s name for their vinyl product.
