The Sure Thing

Fatheads have been around for years now, but the novelty never wears off. These are all-around winners for the girl or guy fanatic – as a gag, in the office, or for family. $79.99 – $99.99
I know I’d love to start the day with a little Vince Young inspiration (hint, hint).
The Wiz
NFL Vibrating Football http://www.amazon.com/Excalibur-NF07-08-NFL-Vibrating-Football/dp/B001EI7H3K/ref=pd_sbs_t_4
Remember when kids would go to the arcade and play games alongside actual people rather than via cyberspace walkie-talkie-whatchama-doozits? The tabletop football game recreates that spirit of arcade comraderie at home, sans quarters, and with updated vibrating action! $40.00
It vibrates!
The iPhone Junkie
Football Gaming Apps
Apps are cheap and super cool. Two football games are particularly popular: NFL 2010 ($2.99) and Madden 2010 ($6.99). Unfortunately you can’t give apps directly yet, so you’ll either have to buy an iTunes gift card and artfully suggest the apps to your loved one, or else hack their iTunes and artfully explain how you accessed their account.ully explain how you accessed their account.
Worth the hassle, if he/she is a true junkie.
The Throwback
Big Sunday Football Game http://www.amazon.com/Big-Sunday-2-Football-Game/dp/B000KYOH2I/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1260890003&sr=1-22
Ready for some wholesome family fun times? Big Sunday will take you back to the olden days when an apple was fruit and QBs got a concussion and walked it off. Seriously though, it’s a good game that actually employs some actual game time strategy. $44.99
Kitschy, clean, and clever – a great family gift.
The Sport

The Perv
Men’s Team G-String http://www.pmtreasurechest.com/index.asp?page=Products&sub=Mens%20NFL%20Football%20G-Strings
I’m going to take a wild guess that these skivvies are more about novelty than quality. But $8.99 isn’t bad for a party favor or stocking stuffer.
Balls of Steelers?
The Maniac
Personally I don’t get it. But clearly there are a lot of dudes in the stands who do. Here’s to you, weirdoes. $9.99
Argggghhhh! I am crazy fan and I want beeeeeeeer!!!
