Although not a fan of the 2013 draft class, the design elements especially in Chrome products are notable. Catfish or not, the Te'o auto is great. I have to at the very least, give him a thubs up in making it to the NFL! Congratulations on your hits!

His home in Honolulu, Hawaii is but a 45 minute drive from where Mrs. Toshi and I lived. He's from Lai'e, (LA E A Phonetic Pronounciation) Hawaii. That area has one of the biggest Mormon population second only to Utah. From what I can gather, the Mormon missionaries dominated the Polynesian population as far as converting was concerned, so many NFL players of Polynesian decent are by default Mormon.

The most famous of them is none other than Troy Polamalu. A few years back, he married a woman who is from the Greek Orthodox Church, and as the case, Polamalu is now Greek Orthodox.

Just a quick history lesson, the two oldest churches dating to the time of Christ is of course Greek Orthodox. Hence the original Bible is written in Aramaic and Greek. The second oldest church is also from the Greek tradition but is in Ethiopia. This church lays claim to hold the Ark of Covnent. Yes that Ark, the Moses and the Indiana Jones Ark!

yea his auto looks great.

Don't sleep on this 2013 draft class, was not top heavy as the 2012 or what 2014 could be but a lot of skill positions players went in the middle rounds to established teams and could have a huge impact in 2014.

Yes, I 100% agree with your comment. My daughters boyfriend, Brett, continuously reminds me in the exact words you use. My issue is that I'm a spoiled 47 year old brat that needs an ass kicking. What that entails is that I started collecting cards in December of 2012. Hence Brett's comment. I expect too much too soon.

I understand that not every draft class will have the Lucks, RGIII's, and Wilson. But it sure was exciting to be a part of in 2012. Brett said that the standouts in 2014 are Le'Veon Bell and Markus Wheaton. Lacy and Austin have lived up to their expectations and will continue to do so. He has also mentioned that the 2014 draft class has several key QB's in the first round. For now, I'll sit tight and see what happens, until then, I'll stick with collecting 2012 products. Please understand that this is just my preference and humble opinion. It is not intended to upset anyone. If I have, I want to apologize before hand.

Yes, if all the QBs come out this year 2014 will be really fun. Last year draft class is what got me back into collecting in the first place. Lacy, Bell will both be stars in this league, and people forget about Mike Glennon. He doesn't have the tool set the QBs had in 2012 but Tampa won games with him and with Lovie Smith going their and the talent they have on defense and offense he cold surprise a lot of people.
