Basement Wall Collage

Nick MomrikLeave a comment

Our stairs are up against the foundation, giving us a big wall facing the rest of the basement. We figured we might as well turn it in to a collage and we have a pretty good start.

My favorites are:

  1. The display case with a lot of my Barry Sanders football card collection.
  2. Tiger Woods in his Sunday red (from IKONICK).
  3. Amon Ra’s headstand touchdown celebration (from Fathead).

Some other things:

  • The golf bag is an old Ram one we bought with clubs from an estate sale. Brandi cleaned it up and it makes a good display piece.
  • Coors Light was my beer of choice through college and my 20s.
  • Do I really need to say anything about Mountain Dew?
  • GO LIONS!

It’ll be cool to keep filling up the wall and then wrap it around the corner to the door and bathroom wall. We definitely need to pick up something Michigan and put up some personal photos.

Barry Sanders: The Most Exciting Player in NFL History

Nick Momrik1 Comment

While watching the Lions win their first road game since October of 2007, I though back to Barry Sanders. There has never been a more exciting player in the NFL and I’m not sure there ever will be. He was such a class act too. You never saw Barry show off or do an end zone dance. When he scored (often), he always dropped the ball or walked it over to the referee and headed straight for the sideline.

I’m glad he played for the Lions because I was able to see several of his games in person, but I can’t help but wonder how good he would have been playing behind the offensive lines of the Dallas Cowboys Emmitt Smith ran behind. How many more records would Barry have set? How many more years would we have been able to enjoy his talent if he hadn’t played for Detroit and retired early? We’ll never know.

Enjoy some Barry highlights…
