Mark Jackson & Jeff Van Gundy

Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy over on ESPN. I appreciate Van Gundy’s self deprecating brand of humor and I respect Jackson keeping Van Gundy in check, somewhat. I remember watching nba jersey cheap when Van Gundy assistant coached Mark Jackson and the rest of the New York Knicks throughout the 90′s. Who would’ve thought they would be great on air personalities nearly 20 years later?

If I had my way, I would have pre game, halftime and post game with EJ, Kenny Smith and Charles, and have Marv Albert, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy commentating the actual game. That would be amazing. Have this crew cover the 2011 NBA Finals between the Blake Griffin led LA Clippers against the Unholy Trinity of Bron, Wade and Bosh of the Miami Heat where the Clippers win in 7. Oh every game goes to overtime by the way.

My Favorite Autograph from the 2011 NFL PLAYERS

I got my favorite nfl player's signature excited!!!

Over the course of four days at the just-completed 2011 NFL PLAYERS Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles, the Panini America events team acquired seemingly countless cheap nfl jerseys autographs from the 36 future NFL superstars who participated in the marquee event. Those autographs will highlight the company’s stacked roster of football brands all season long.

But one signature in particular stands out – and unlike all of the others, this one will never appear in a Panini America football product.


No, my favorite autograph from the weekend was the last one we acquired. It was signed late on Saturday night by profusely talented Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones just seconds after he and Panini America CEO Mark Warsop soundly defeated Topps’ Clay Luraschi and the Tennessee Titans’ Jamie Harper to win the inaugural 2011 NFL PLAYERS Rookie Premiere Cues & Cocktails billiards tournament.

Jones signed the official Cues & Cocktails bracket not long after Warsop’s stirring tournament-winning bank shot.

To be sure, Warsop’s shot — and Jones’ poignant penmanship – provided the perfect ending to an overwhelmingly winning weekend.
