Cheap NFL Jerseys

If Green Bay Packers jerseys were outlawed, much of the state of Wisconsin would be in a perpetual state of nakedness.

You can't go a block within a 100 mile radius of Green Bay and not see someone wearing a Brett Favre jersey. The rate of jersey per fan density has to be at its zenith up there, but you really can go just about anywhere and find NFL sports apparel on someone's body virtually any time of year. The league sells tons of stuff to intensely loyal fans here and abroad.

The NFL broke up a bunch of counterfeit NFL jersey businesses in raids in and around Phoenix over Super Bowl week. Some were actually selling jerseys out of the trunk of a car near the stadium, which is akin to putting a giant sign on your lawn saying "I'm incredibly stupid". The league is quite serious about keeping fakes off the streets to protect their licensee, Reebok, but what they'd really like to do is destroy the manufacturers, who have gotten quite good at mimicking the real deal. If you're shopping, just keep in mind, brand new official NFL jerseys can not be purchased for $20. If you see one that cheap, it's either a fake or you've found someone who is really, really desperate for money.

It is possible to buy cheap NFL jerseys, though. Try sites like this one which is built through Amazon.com, a rapidly growing force in the sports apparel and memorabilia industry. Merchants often discount American football jerseys during the off-season, even the retro throwback football jerseys and youth NFL football jerseys which are constantly in demand by Moms and Dads.

As for those who say you look like a dork if you're over 40 and still wearing a #4 on your green and gold painted body...don't say it in Green Bay, Wisconsin unless you have a lot of burly friends.

OK, so I was wrong about the Patriots.

I think 10 years from now it will go down as the second greatest upset in Super Bowl history. It also goes to show how difficult it is to sustain excellence through a 16-game schedule and playoffs. We've seen it happen to teams who've gotten off to incredible starts recently, only to falter in January (and February). The Colts were victims of their own success a few years ago (remember the 13-0 start?) and the Packers had been playing as well as anyone this year until they ran into the Giants on the frozen tundra in January.

These days, the NFL is more about late season momentum and health than anything.
