Exciting New NFL Fatheads Continue to Roll In
The great thing about NFL player Fatheads is that there is always more and more options to choose between. Instead of getting stale, all throughout the year there are new players introduced. This means that no matter who your favorite player is, you'll almost always be able to find an NFL Fathead in his likeness.
There are new players introduced all of the time for several reasons. First of all, sometimes players have a big breakout season when they weren't well known before. In this case it's time that they get their own NFL Fathead as a sort of coming out party in recognition of their performance.
For example, some of the new NFL player Fatheads that have been released include Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints and Pierre Garcon of the Indianapolis Colts. Both had great seasons that culminated in a Super Bowl appearance, and both now get their own Fathead.
Other young players to get their own new NFL Fathead include Darrelle Revis, Calvin Johnson, Paul Posluszny, Michael Oher of The Blindside fame and Frank Gore. All of them are special players in their own ways, and they are added to the collection that you can find today.
Sometimes big name NFL rookies also get their own NFL Fathead released. Whichever team they are drafted to will get a Fathead produced in his image once he has started to play. This usually only happens with the biggest rookie names, but it's not unheard of.
Whenever a player switches team there also needs to be a new NFL Fathead produced for him. The best example of this is Brett Favre, as there have been three different Favre NFL player Fatheads released! They are from his time with the Packers, Jets and Vikings, and who knows what is next with him.
Fathead also continues to roll out and increase their collection of retired players, legends and greats. Recently they added Jerry Rice, Gale Sayers and Randall Cunningham to their fold of past greats that you can purchase and bring into your home and office.
Altogether, there are hundreds of NFL player fatheads to choose between, which means that no matter who you root for and who your favorite player is you'll be covered. Of course you can also find team logos and helmets as well, Fathead Jr wall decals and small Fathead tradeables as well.
So when you're ready to bring home one of these great sports memorabilia options, you know you won't be disappointed. The new collection of NFL player Fatheads only adds to the great array of options that you have, and an NFL Fathead always makes a great gift!
There isn't anything better than displaying a fantastic NFL Fathead in your home or office. You can find hundreds of different NFL player Fatheads to choose between,including young, breakout stars and retired legends!

A Fan's Guide to Buying NFL Team Jerseys
An endless number of pro football jerseys are sold annually worldwide. Fans buy them to wear to games themselves while others are given as gifts. Are they popular? Take a look in the stands the next time you watch a game on TV. Sometimes it seems more people are wearing them than aren't!
The NFL jersey market can be a bit confusing, though, thanks to the variety available and costs involved. It's not hard to purchase a cheap authentic jersey you can wear or give as a gift. You just need to take note of a couple of things rather than be fearful of making a mistake.
First, understand that they are available in home team colors, road and you can also get retro throwback football jerseys, fashioned to resemble those worn by a franchise in years past. The old school jerseys have been very popular, especially when the teams themselves choose to wear them on a given Sunday. An NFL throwback jersey is often a point of pride for an older football fan who prides himself or herself on knowing NFL history. Sometimes the older jerseys are more attractive than those carrying today's design. There's definitely a nostalgia factor involved.
There is a huge secondary market for NFL jerseys. At times an individual buys a jersey that doesn't fit and just decides to resell it. Other times, they get one from someone else and really do not want it. Don't ignore fairly non-traditional markets when searching for one but ensure you're acquiring from a dependable source-not from a seller who operates at a price level so much lower than everyone else that it's obvious they're selling fakes.
There are a few different types of jerseys available.
Official NFL jerseys should be no different in level of quality than what you see your favorite player wearing on the field. A heavyweight fabric with numbers, names and patches sewn on is usually a trademark.
It's even feasible to purchase authentic customized NFL jerseys. You select the name and number of the NFL player you want put on the jersey and it is going to be created just how you'd like it. It's not inexpensive but a youth NFL football jersey is a terrific gift to get a young sports fan.
Women's NFL jerseys are getting increasingly well known. They're tailored just a bit differently to fit a woman's body. In 2007, the women's pink jerseys designed and sold in conjunction with a breast cancer fundraiser was exceptionally well received. The league even had players on the field wearing pink stripes on their shoes, pink wristbands and other cancer-aware gear in 2009. Pink NFL jerseys sold to the public show support for the cause and are certainly eye-catching.
If you can't afford an authentic NFL jersey you can go one step down and order a premier NFL jersey. These are cheaper than the authentic NFL jerseys, but are not within the identical high quality that you get using the authentic jersey. A premier jersey fabricated from of lighter material and is mostly nylon/polyester. It as sewn on numbers and names but doesn't always have those same excellent of material as an authentic jersey. It might look just as good as an authentic jersey, but manufactured cheaper. An excellent choice if you would like an authentic jersey but just can't afford it.
At another level is the replica NFL jersey. These jerseys are produce of thinner fabrics with less detail so they a lot less expensive. The graphics and numbers are not sewn on but are screen printed instead. These jerseys constitute the majority of those sold and seen in NFL stadiums and sports bars coast to coast. They're close enough to the real deal to look respectable but are for the more budget-minded fan.
The NFL takes counterfeit jersey sellers really seriously so don't confuse inexpensive NFL jerseys with outright fakes. There's no doubt you can find a jersey for next to nothing but it's likely it's been created where official NFL jerseys aren't actually made.
Shopping for an official NFL game jersey can be fun. There's plenty of variety and a lot of exciting players to represent with the league continuing to grow in popularity each and every season. If you can't play like a pro, you can at least look like one.
NFL Parlay - Your Quick Guide to Understanding This NFL Betting Method
One of the more popular football bets in the sportsbook is the NFL parlay. For years, I've watched TV commercials for Las Vegas sportsbooks that showed lines and lines of sports bettors lining up to make these fun bets.
Here's the lowdown. NFL parlay bets aren't the best bet in the house (straight bets are), but they are fun and I wouldn't dream of going through one week of NFL betting without putting in at least one parlay bet. When they hit, it's a blast.
Your parlay card can have 2-20 bets on it (depending on the sportsbook). And it can be a combination of sides and totals. Take a look at this example NFL parlay card:
Seahawks + 3
Vikings / Giants ov 45
Patriots - 7
What you see above is a three-team parlay. In other words, I'm betting that all three of these bets will win-it's an all or nothing thing. The more bets you put on a parlay card, the higher it pays out. Of course, as you add football bets, the ticket gets harder to hit.
Payouts of parlay cards vary from sportsbook to sportsbook, but they are all fairly close. For instance, a typical three-team NFL Parlay is likely to pay 6-1. So, in the above example, if you bet $10 and hit all three bets, you'd win $60. Add more bets and you'll see payouts of 150-1, 300-1 and higher.
For my money, the three-team parlay is the best overall value. The 6-1 payout is nice and it's fairly relative to your actual odds of winning when compared to larger cards. Still, nothing is sweeter than hitting a 10-team parlay.
If you've never placed an NFL parlay bet, make it your mission in life to try a couple this NFL season. I've hit many parlay bets. Is there a secret to winning more NFL wagers? Is there anything you can do to win more football bets? Yes there is.
Don't you dare make another NFL parlay football bet before reading this free NFL football betting tips guide from Wise Bettor ------> NFL BETTING GUIDE [http://nflbetting.sportsbettingfootball.com] NFL betting lines.

Rodgers throws 4 TDs as Packers hold off Chargers
Nov. 6, 2011
SAN DIEGO -- Aaron Rodgers was at his best, throwing lasers where only his receivers could catch them and finding four different teammates in the end zone.
Yes, Rodgers had a lot to do with the Green Bay Packers remaining undefeated with a crazy 45-38 win over the staggering San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
So did Philip Rivers, whose miserable run of turnovers continued with three critical interceptions, two by Charlie Peprah.
Peprah and Tramon Williams returned pickoffs for touchdowns in a span of six plays in the first quarter, and Peprah's second pick in the closing seconds sealed the win for the Packers (8-0).
Rodgers completed 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards and ran his NFL-leading total to 24 TD throws. He had scoring passes of 5 yards to Jermichael Finley, 16 to Jordy Nelson, 21 to James Jones and 4 to Greg Jennings.
"I think Aaron has a lot of strengths. His decision-making is clearly the highest level that I have personally been a part of," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of his Super Bowl MVP quarterback.
Rodgers, who lives in the upscale San Diego suburb of Del Mar in the offseason, seemed more impressed with the high percentage of cheeseheads in the sellout crowd than being the NFL's only perfect team.
"The crowd was incredible," Rodgers said. "When you're on the road and up by seven and it's late in the game and they have to go on a silent count, that's pretty impressive. I have to give a lot of credit to our fans the way they travel. It says a lot about the kind of fans we have."
Jennings couldn't emphasize enough how much Rodgers means to the Packers.
"He is a special, special, special, special player," Jennings said.
The Chargers (4-4) have lost three straight games, including road collapses at the New York Jets and on Monday night at Kansas City, when Rivers inexplicably fumbled a snap in the final minute of regulation.
Rivers also threw four touchdown passes Sunday to tie his career high, three of them to Vincent Jackson.
"We're fighting through a rough time right now," said Rivers, whose 14 interceptions and 17 total turnovers lead the NFL. "These tough times, you find out a lot about guys, a lot about yourself."
Rivers was 26 of 46 for 385 yards. It was the first time in his career that he threw three interceptions in a game.
The Packers led by 21 points early in the fourth quarter before Rivers threw touchdown passes of 5 and 29 yards to Jackson in the span of 1:07 midway through the quarter.
San Diego had a final chance to tie it, starting a drive at its 32 with 1:05 remaining and no timeouts left. Aided by a pass interference call against Charles Woodson, Rivers moved the Chargers to the Packers 41 before putting up a deep ball that Peprah easily picked off and returned 76 yards to the San Diego 6. The Packers took a knee to end the game.
Rivers threw two pick-6s that gave the Packers a 21-7 lead.
Desmond Bishop tipped a pass intended for tight end Antonio Gates and Peprah intercepted. He broke four tackles during his 40-yard return and got a big block by Clay Matthews.
On the next Chargers possession, Williams jumped a route for an interception and 40-yard TD return.
"On the first one, the guy made a great play," Rivers said. "The other one, they just fooled me."
Peprah said the Packers still have a lot of work to do on defense.
"We're a pressure defense, so we're going to give up some big plays. But we feel we're going to make some, too," he said. "I wouldn't trade a perfect defense for a win, so I'll take the W and we'll clean up that stuff later."
Rivers and Mike Tolbert kept the Chargers in the game. Tolbert scored on an 8-yard run and, after the Chargers held the Packers on fourth-and-2 at the San Diego 36, Nick Novak kicked a career-best 52-yard field goal to pull to 21-17.
Amazingly, the Packers' next drive was just their third of the first half. Although he was sacked twice, Rodgers moved the Packers to the San Diego 16 before throwing a TD pass to Nelson, who hauled it in at the 1 and then rolled into the end zone for a 28-17 halftime lead.
After Rivers hit Gates with an 11-yard TD pass in the third quarter, Rodgers threw a perfect 21-yarder to Jones and then a 4-yarder to Jennings early in the fourth quarter to seemingly put away the game.
Notes
The Chargers played without injured running back Ryan Mathews , wide receiver Malcom Floyd and linebacker Shaun Phillips . San Diego guard Kris Dielman missed his second straight game with a concussion. The Chargers turn around and host the rival Oakland Raiders on Thursday night. Packers LB Frank Zombo left with a hamstring injury in the fourth.
