Pack Clashing, Opening Kick Style
September 11th, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

A Monday Night Pack Clash
October 25th, 2010 by slangon

Tonight’s pack clash, which will precede the main event of the New York Football Giants facing off against the Dallas Cowboys, will pit a pack of 2006 Upper Deck Football against a pack of 2008 Leaf Rookies & Stars. Both of these packs were acquired via an “Extreme Value Package” of repacked packs at Target. […]

Sunday Afternoon Football (Cards): The Final Regular Season Game
January 3rd, 2010 by slangon

Last one for the regular season. My Giants ended their season with a bang last week, so I’ll just pretend that this week is just an exhibition game. I ordered a couple of boxes from Dave and Adam’s Card World last week and since I spent over $50 or whatever I got 4 free packs […]

Guaranteed Hits, On The Cheap
December 13th, 2009 by slangon

Some Thanksgiving Night Football (Cards)
November 26th, 2009 by slangon

So that was a squeaker on Sunday. That was the kind of win that almost makes me feel worse that if they had lost. Luckily, being a Mets fan, I’m used to wins (and losses) that make me feel bad like that so it just rolls off my back. Now we move onto Denver. We’ll […]

A Sunday Dose of Football Cards
November 1st, 2009 by slangon

So once again, a couple of packs of Topps Magic to open while I watch some football games. Same drill as before. I’m just posting the cool stuff. We’ll start it off this week with a couple of rookie cards. Jared looks like he wants to fight. Brandon looks like he wants to dance. You […]

Some Monday Night Football Cards
October 12th, 2009 by slangon

So, last week I bought some packs of football cards, Philadelphia vs. Magic. Magic won hands down. I went and bought a few more pack to crack while I watched the Giants beat Oakland so badly it made the game really boring. Here’s what I got. Pack 1: #247 John Elway – I guess it […]
