“God bless America, and God bless the Seattle Seahawks.”

This weekend the NFL honored a few of the finest to ever play the game, including Chris Doleman, Curtis Martin, Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson, Jack Butler, and Cortez Kennedy.  Being a lifelong Miami Hurricanes and Seattle Seahawks fan, watching Tez getting hir due respect made me very proud to be a fan of his.  Playing for the Seahawks might not get you the most publicity but staying true to your team and your city is a rare and cherished thing these days.  As Tez delivered the final line of his speech, I got goosebumps and chills, “God bless America, and God bless the Seattle Seahawks.” Thank You Cortez Kennedy, lifetime Seattle Seahawk, and one of the newest and proudest members of the National Football League Hall of Fame.

Super Mario

I have began to enjoy busting open high end product and last year, me and the nephew decided that 2010/11 Upper Deck The Cup Hockey would be the one.  I have done pretty decent with the high end stuff and this was no exception. Cracking the seal and start digging, unveiling the grand prize.  This Mario Lemieux Emblems of Endorsements Dual Patch Autograph Serial Numbered 01/15.  This multicolor dual patch and on card auto is only trumped by the low number, and, well Mario!

Is Feild Hockey the new Volleyball?

I have to admit that the Netherlands Women's Field Hockey team caught my eye, and then I heard all the clamoring about it replacing Women's Volleyball as the newest thing to watch.  I must say that the uniforms do add another reasons to watch the sport. And now this, Google, falling prey to Field Hockey, and making it it's header, wow. I would have thought that Gymnastics or Swimming would have got the nod today.

Double Heisman, Twice

It's not that often you get a sweet dual autograph or jersey hit of the previous two Heisman Trophy winners, and it's definitly tougher to get two seperate cards featuring jerseys and autos.  Thanks to Marty's Sportscard Exchange Superstore in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that's what happened. I pulled both of these beauties and had no problem making an award winning profit on them.
