Fox adds Music to NFL broadcasts

Fox Network is known to have a history with testing the boundaries.  Apparently, their NFL broadcasts are their latest test subject.  Last week, during the Seahawks-49ers broadcast, Fox experimented by playing music in between plays and during replays.  Check out the video below and listen for yourself:

They will be trying it again during the Cardinals – Panthers game this Sunday, and they haven’t ruled out using music during this year’s Super Bowl.

What are your thoughts on this – Like or dislike?  If you watched the Seahawks-Niners game from last week, what’d you think of it during the actual game?

Being an NFL purist, I’m not a big fan of this “innovation,” but I will reserve judgment until I actually watch a game with music myself.

Sports Unlimited 25 Holi-Days of Savings: Day 15 – Life is Good Sale

So here we are – day 15.  The past 14 days have been filled with ridiculous deals that seem too good to be true.  But time is running out, as it is already Monday, December 13.  There are only 10 more days of great holiday savings left, and only 12 more days until C-day.  All the more reason to act now before it’s too late, because no one wants the misery and shame of hesitating on great discounts at this time of the year.

Which brings us to day 15’s deal: 15% off Life is Good products.  If you’re aware of Life is Good, you know all about the brand’s optimistic perspective of life.  If not, take a quick read to learn about the Life is Good Story.

T’is the Season for Giving

It’s the time of year to be grateful and to give.  The least we can do is spread some joy to those less fortunate.  The Sports Unlimited family recently ran a toy drive for children of Tena, Ecuador, where former employee Adriana Pennino is currently volunteering as a speech thereapist:

HATFIELD, Pennsylvania, December 7, 2010 – SportsUnlimited.com has donated and shipped 28 boxes filled with toys and clothes to Tena, Ecuador, located in the Amazon rainforest, for the children of the area and surrounding villages as part of a new project deemed “Toys for Adriana.” A former employee of Sports Unlimited, Inc. for over three years, Adriana Pennino is now living in Tena, Ecuador, volunteering with the Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) as a speech therapist for the rehabilitation program, Pedihabilidad, providing speech therapy and other services to local children with disabilities. In November, 2010, Pennino contacted Sports Unlimited, Inc. President Don Ball to discuss her experiences and speak on the poor conditions of the people to whom she provides therapy.

“She also mentioned that the kids don’t have any toys and immediately, we started ‘Toys for Adriana.’” Ball said. “I’m not sure that any of us could imagine the joy for these kids if they receive some presents.”

From November 5 to December 1, Sports Unlimited held a toy drive, asking its employees to donate toy cars, trucks, crayons, stickers and sports balls of any kind. By the end of that time they had collected over 28 large boxes filled with toys and clothes for the children of Tena.

“We are so grateful to Don Ball and Dave Neff, Sports Unlimited owners, for generously donating the shipping supplies and international shipping to make this happen!” Pennino said. “And we are extremely grateful to all of the SU crew for donating toys and clothes for the kids!”

Happy Holidays, everyone.
