First of all, what is “Opening Day” called in football? Is is “Opening Kick”? Somehow that doesn’t sound right. That feels like I’m calling baseball’s Opening Day “First Pitch”. Somehow “Opening Day” doesn’t sound right for football either. Any thoughts? Anyhoo, in honor of the “First Foosball Game of the 2011 Season for Both the […]

As you may recall, a few weeks ago my old man had given me a few packs of junk wax era cards and I decided to have an epic 3 way Pack Clash. Well, it was such a hoot that I decided to do another one. There happens to be a supermarket near my house […]

A while back, I happened to be hanging out with my parents and my dad slipped me a couple of packs of unopened cards that he said he got at a comic shop, 3 packs for a buck. Now as soon as he told me what they cost I immediately had a suspicion of what […]

I’ve got a pretty nice afternoon laid out in front of me. The Jets start in about a half an hour. The Giants start at 4. In between I’ve got a fridge full of beer and a pot of chili going on the stove top. What better way to waste a Sunday afternoon? Let’s see […]

I don’t know why I don’t do more of these Pack Clashes. The whole idea of them is to buy 2 packs of cards and then have them face off by awarding arbitrary amounts of points to certain cards based on whatever happens to pop in my head upon looking at them. They’re fun and […]

We’ll see how that worked out for them. First up, the Philadelphia Football. #87 Dwight Freeney #78 Matt Schaub […]

In honor of my new found interest in football, and in celebration of the fact that as of today the misery that was the 2009 Mets baseball season is over, I decided to buy me some football cards. Now, even though it’s football, I’m not going to stray too far from my usual collecting habits, […]
