Ever since Tom Brady's infamous mid-day stroll, equipped with a less than fashionable walking boot on his right foot, there has been a countless number of players, fans and analysts all speculating over Brady's role in the upcoming Super Bowl. Some say that he will not be able to produce his best football as his mobility will be limited by this injury. Others say that Brady is faking, attempting the lull the Giants into a false sense of security before the big game.
Honestly, though, I think those of the latter group are full of it. Yes, Belichick did resort to cheating earlier in the season with his ever-so-shady filming debacle. But do you think the Patriots would really risk not having Brady on the field the week before the biggest game of the year? I doubt it. After all, we are talking about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Brady has been in this situation before. He has won three Super Bowl rings without any of these so-called head games and trickery. So why do it now? Why not just let Brady and the rest of the 18-0 Patriots loose like they have been doing all season?
Something tells me that Brady's injury is real. The risk of having a sub-par Tom Brady in a winner-take-all game is just too high. Not practicing for a week could throw off his rhythm. And having a quarterback who is out of sync could mean the difference between a 4th Super Bowl ring or an almost historic 18-1 season. Yeah, there is too much riding on this game for Belichick and company to pull a stupid stunt like that. In my opinion, the cloud of secrecy surrounding Brady's injury is to make sure that the Giants don't find out what kind of injury Brady is suffering from. I mean, would you want the opposing defensive line to know exactly where to hit Brady to ensure he will not get back up? Neither does Belichick.
The bottom line is Brady has sustained some type of injury. What exactly, nobody knows. But mark my words, Tom Brady will be playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday, spreading the ball around the field just like he has done all season. He may be a little hobbled, but the Giants should be concerned with how they are going to stop the potent Patriot offense rather than keying in on Brady's injury.

Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley are two of the greatest players to ever play the game of professional basketball. As we know, one of them was greater than the other. Nonetheless, both were great. Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley are also very good friends. They frequently golf together. If you have ever seen Sir Charles' sweet golf stroke, you know which one of these guys is greater on the the golf course as well as the court. These two all-time greats had the opportunity to square off against one another on the biggest stage basketball has to offer. The 1993 NBA Finals.
In 1993, Mike and Chuck, along with an ensemble cast that included Scottie Pippen and Kevin Johnson, took the court to decide once and for all who was the real NBA regular season MVP. You see, that season, Charles Barkley was crowned MVP despite the gaudy numbers Michael had put up, he averaged 33 points,7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Many thought that Chuck was helped significantly by the likes of Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle. Maybe so, but Chuck's numbers that year were hard to ignore. He averaged 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
The Jordan 6 Rings "Phoenix" edition dropped in 2009 to commemerate this epic NBA Finals might be the most beautiful shoe in the Jordan 6 Rings Championship Pack. But then again, I am a sucker for orange. The silhouette of all of the 6 Rings is taken from the Jordan 11 and is so tight! I am a sucker for the Jordan 11 as well. The white leather upper features laser print graphics that depict Godzilla, Jordan's hand holding up 3 fingers signifying his 3rd NBA championship ring, and even the mythical bird "Phoenix". The midsole uses the beautiful orange hue. Yes! The tongue has "Two 3" in orange lettering and a multi-colored fuzzy Jumpman logo in purple, grey, and black at the top. A portion of the outsole on the forefoot also depicts Godzilla and the "Phoenix" under a translucent clear sole. Nice! There are still pairs of this epic Jordan shoe available. Sweet!
Both Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley had Hall of Fame careers. But Michael ended up with 6 NBA Championship rings. Charles had to settle for some great seasons and an MVP award that year. So what are Mike and Chuck up to these days? Michael is busy as the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats while Charles is doing his thing on TNT as the most honest and funny TV analyst basketball has ever had. Mike and Chuck still remain friends. And they still golf together. And, like the rest of us, Jordan still has to watch Charles' horrendous golf swing.

American football was reorganized into the two Conferences, the first 3 contests for supremacy (1967-1969)had been clumsily referred to because the 'AFL-NFL Planet Championship Game'. Hence, the very first genuine 'Super Bowl' was not played until the year 1970, a helpful fact for your trivia quiz toolkit. Each player on a winning Super Bowl team receives a jewelled ring.
California was dwelling to the highest number of winning teams within the 1st 45 years considering that the reorganization. The Oakland Raiders have brought home three trophies along with the San Francisco 49ers, five.
On January 25, 1977, the Oakland Raiders won their 1st Super Bowl game against the Minnesota Vikings with a score of 32-34. This was Super Bowl XI.

Inside the identical month, the tv shows, 'Dynasty' and 'Hill Street Blues' were 1st aired.
Later in 1981, the team moved to Southern California to turn into the Los Angeles Raiders and their dwelling stadium became the Coliseum. In 1984, they won Super Bowl XVIII against the Washington Redskins, beating them 38-9. Operating Back, Marcus Allen, was voted MVP.

Rambis ran the floor as hard as anyone the Lakers ever suited up. If a loose ball was on the floor
Somewhere along the lines, it became uncool to wear rec specs (goggles) in sports. Sometime in the mid to late 1990's people must have made an announcement that people who wore them were not with the hip crowd. Well I think that is complete mularkey. I mean, they chose that lifestyle. Wearing goggles is a lifestyle choice. This article pays tribute to the men who wore them proud and wore them night-in, night-out.
1. Eric Dickerson. This famous running back toted the football for the Colts and Rams like no other in his day. He would run through the line and burst with speed to the outside, evading would be tacklers all without a care in the world that someone just might try to gauge his eye. Eric will go down as one of the best running backs in NFL history, and the only one I can remember with awesome rec specs.
2. Chris Sabo. Played along with other great Reds in Cincinnati like Jose Rijo and Barry Larkin in the late 80's and early 90's. Sabo was a terror on the basepaths, known for his hustle more than anything. As Sabo stole bases, he never had to worry about loose dirt getting in his eyes as he sported the rec specs with authority.
3. Kurt Rambis. Another athlete who will never be questioned for his lack of hustle, Rambis ran the floor as hard as anyone the Lakers ever suited up. If a loose ball was on the floor, Rambis would hit the deck knowing that it was his ball to lose. Finishing his career just shy of 5,000 rebounds, Kurt never worried about a flailing elbow as he was protected with the best rec specs money could buy.
4. While we are talking about famous L.A. Lakers, who can forget James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? These two dominating players won several championships with the Lake Show while wearing rec specs as well. Both are NBA legends, but more known for their skill than their rec specs.
5. Horace Grant. A special player for the dynasty Chicago Bulls that featured the likes of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Horace was a tenacious defender and rec-spec wearing threat anywhere on the court. Along with the aforementioned Lakers, he holds multiple championship rings.
I go to sleep each night hoping that one creative youngster out there who dons rec specs sticks with the program instead of opting for a trendy lasik surgery or something else that would make him shed the goggles. Rec specs are a part of history and the players I have named are all famous for wearing them.
Long live the rec specs!

Jewelry design is the art or professional of creating, crafting, fabricating, or rendering designs for jewelry. This is an ancient practice of the goldsmith or metalworker that evolved to a billion-dollar industry with the odyssey from ancient cultures into the machine age. Jewelry design falls under the category of what is commonly known as "functional art", being art that can be worn or used.
Before an article of jewelry is created, it is typically rendered by a jewelry designer, a professional who is trained in the architectural and functional knowledge of not only metallurgy but also design elements such as composition and wear ability.
Once the article is rendered, the design is then constructed using the necessary materials for proper adaptation to the function of the object. For example, 24K Gold was used in ancient jewelry design because it was more accessible than silver as source material. Before the 1st century many civilizations also incorporated beads into jewelry. Once the discovery of gemstones and gem cutting became more readily available, 2.the art of jewelry ornamentation and design shifted. The earliest documented gemstone cut was done by Theophilus Presbyter (c.1070 - 1125). who practiced and developed many applied arts and was a known goldsmith. Later, during the 14th Century, medieval lapidary technology evolved to include cabochons and cameos.
Early Jewelry design commissions were often constituted by nobility or the church to honor an event or as wearable ornamentation. Within the structure of early methods, enameling and repouss?became standard methods for creating ornamental wares to demonstrate wealth, position, or power. These early techniques created a specific complex design element that later would forge the baroque movement in jewelry design.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.
Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing functional objects; therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength, while at the same time preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal. Other metals can replace the copper, usually with the intent to improve various properties of the basic sterling alloy such as reducing casting porosity, eliminating firescale, and increasing resistance to tarnish. These replacement metals include germanium, zinc and platinum, as well as a variety of other additives, including silicon and boron. A number of alloys, such as Argentium sterling silver have appeared in recent years, formulated to lessen firescale or to inhibit tarnish, and this has sparked heavy competition among the various manufacturers, who are rushing to make claims of having the best formulation. However, no one alloy has emerged to replace copper as the industry standard, and alloy development is a very active area.

Before an article of jewelry is created, it is typically rendered by a jewelry designer, a professional who is trained in the architectural and functional knowledge of not only metallurgy but also design elements such as composition and wear ability.
Once the article is rendered, the design is then constructed using the necessary materials for proper adaptation to the function of the object. For example, 24K Gold was used in ancient jewelry design because it was more accessible than silver as source material. Before the 1st century many civilizations also incorporated beads into jewelry. Once the discovery of gemstones and gem cutting became more readily available, 2.the art of jewelry ornamentation and design shifted. The earliest documented gemstone cut was done by Theophilus Presbyter (c.1070 - 1125). who practiced and developed many applied arts and was a known goldsmith. Later, during the 14th Century, medieval lapidary technology evolved to include cabochons and cameos.
Early Jewelry design commissions were often constituted by nobility or the church to honor an event or as wearable ornamentation. Within the structure of early methods, enameling and repouss?became standard methods for creating ornamental wares to demonstrate wealth, position, or power. These early techniques created a specific complex design element that later would forge the baroque movement in jewelry design.
