NFL Experience

[poke]

so in addition to the HOF stuff they have a setup where you can be timed in the 40, grip strength,vertical, broad jump and other combine type things.

Great thread. I really enjoyed the pictures, thanks!

And this thing looks like something out of Gladiator. I would hate to have to wear that!

Looks like something designed to play in cold weather. First time I have seen one of them.

okay last of the pics for now, i may get more later since i volunteered to work there and will be going back.

btw, for the first 4 days of any NFL experience the DFW area set a record with 75,000 fans attending.

its a ton of fun, educational, lots of cool stuff to buy if you want to.

Wilson was there making footballs, you can watch them make the one you buy, get your name lasered on it or your picture.
I was fascinated by the lady lacing them up, she said she does 250 a day at their site in Ada, Ohio. Its the only football making facility in the US.

they had lockers set up showing what they look like for game day. Witten's was next to Vick's which i edited out of this picture. you are welcome !

http://i993.***BLOCKED***/albums/af59/photosforCZ/DSC07134.jpghttp://i993.***BLOCKED***/albums/af59/photosforCZ/DSC07134.jpg

they had a lot of Cowboys stuff, murals and the like. The Boys may not be in the SB but the stealer and packer fans are going to have to see a lot of silver and blue !

they have a "kids zone" where they can do a lot of the same stuff without getting trampled by the big kids. here they raced to see who could put on the uniform the fastest. too cute not to share.

heres one i just couldnt resist. feel free to caption with snarky remarks !
http://i993.***BLOCKED***/albums/af59/photosforCZ/DSC07133.jpghttp://i993.***BLOCKED***/albums/af59/photosforCZ/DSC07133.jpg

heres one i hesitated to post. Roy catches enough hell around here without me helping but i just cant help myself from saying "now we know why RW keeps making bone headed plays ".

they have a room set up to resemble the NFL Draft and you can get your picture made holding up
a jersey from any of the teams.
I had my own jersey ( the 17 is for Dandy Don )

all in all i cant recommend a trip to this place enough. its got something for everyone and i am pretty sure i havent seen it all yet.

 

[poke]

here is one of the things you can do. they also have field goal kicking (i saw several folks make it from 40 yards +), catch passes from a machine, throw balls into nets at varying distances.

this one can be made harder by making the players move faster.

here is the lady from Wilson lacing the ball

Bizarre.

I'll never forget being in the Pro Shop at Texas Stadium circa 2005, back when Roy Williams was playing lights out for us.

They were selling a photo of George Teague running out onto the field with the American flag, I believe in the wake of 9/11. Only the photo, which was taken from the back, had "Williams" written on the jersey nameplate. Making it even better was the fact that "Williams" wasn't even close to being the right font we see on the uniforms.

Bizzare, once more.

 

[Dale]

Oh, and to add, if we're photoshopping people out of the team photo, why stop at Wade? Let's wipe away No. 20, for starters...

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Great post, thanks as always!

 

[webby75216]

I work with SAFE security Wade is gone. I love the play 60 area at night I play with the Punt Pass Kick all night.

My new detail is working steelers practice at TCU ugh.

.

I see we allready have Ball's and Scandrick's replacements.

 

[Nomad]

Just an idea, but is it possible Wade was already off the team when they took the official team photo?

Because just today there was a controversy with Green Bay's official team photo that they took a few days ago and the IR players weren't included. So maybe they take team photos at the end of the year?

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Can they photoshop Patrick Peterson in?

How about Bowser, from super Mario? I'm still rotfl over that one.

 

[CATCH17]

Thanks for the pics those are great.

 

[Hostile]

I am shocked at how little commentary the picture in the OP has elicited.

 

[CATCH17]

I may be blind but is Garrett in that picture?


If not is Jerry sending a subliminal message.

i thought Garrett was at the far right, top row.
i could be wrong.
i will look again next time i go.

i am not really that surprised. most people find it easier to blame it all on one guy and then they just want to forget that that one guy was ever around.

It is dark in that area, but that looks like him to me too.

he was up there...the opposite side of the Wade hole as I recall.
