New for 2011: Maverik Lacrosse

This year, we will be welcoming plenty of new brands, ranging from Baseball to Tailgating Games, to the Sports Unlimited line.  First up for 2011: Maverik Lacrosse

Get a sense of what Maverik is all about by watching the following video, featuring lacrosse superstar Paul Rabil:

Maverik operates by the saying, “For the Players, by the Players,” as it was founded and continues to this day to be run by world-class lacrosse players.  Dissatisfied with the quality and performance aspects of existing lacrosse equipment, they began designing it themselves, with the mindset that he best players never settle for anything but the best equipment.  They make it, test it, use it in practice and games, and they even are the ones that box it up and ship it to you.  It’s that commitment that pushes Maverik to deliver the highest quality lacrosse equipment onto the market.

Maverik uses a performance level indicator for each of its products, as each product is labeled using this four-tiered system: Expert level; Advanced level; Intermediate Level; Beginner Level.  This allows you to choose the appropriate equipment that suits your level of play.

One of Maverik’s many highlights is the Maybach Lacrosse Gloves.  The Maybach Gloves are superior-quality, top-of-the-line men’s lacrosse gloves that feature seamless palms, sharkskin, and shark gel for elite performance, feel, and protection.  These incredibly comfortable gloves are both compact and lightweight, giving the ultimate combination of both protection and comfort.

The Maybach Gloves are just one aspect of Maverik’s impressive set of lacrosse gear.  From gloves to shafts to apparel, Maverik has what it takes to be an elite player on lacrosse fields everywhere.

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.

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.
