FOOTBALL HAS BEGUN!!! YYYYYEEEEHHHHAAAWWWW!!!!! After a crazy weekend in the NFL, both pro and college football are officially rolling full speed ahead and I couldn’t be more pumped. Now that we have football every weekend again, you know what else that means? We get to tailgate!
Is there anything better than cranking up the grill outside and torching hamburgers and hot dogs and (the Professor’s personal favorite) brats? Of course not. The other awesome part about tailgating is all the cool outdoor games you can play with your friends and family. Now you can upgrade your game kits with a bunch of new takes on all the great classics from Sportcraft.
Did you know every time you step outside to take a walk, you’re getting good exercise? It may not seem like much, but all those steps can add up to quite a workout over the course of the day. If you don’t believe me, you might want to check out a new product from GeoPalz which can track just how much exercise you’re getting during your daily strolls.
Have you ever wished you could shrink yourself down into a tiny race car driver and jump behind the steering wheel of a Hot Wheels hot rod? Well now you can get that exact experience without having to find a brand-new quadruple extra-small wardrobe.
The Hot Wheels Video Racer is a new toy car that comes with a built in video camera and LCD screen. Now when you race your cars around your house, you can record everything that happens. It’s like you’re sitting in the driver’s seat and it’s amazing!
NBA All-Star weekend is finally here! NBA fans have a whole weekend to soak in the league’s best players putting on a show, from the celebrity game to the rookie-sophomore contest all the way to main event on Sunday evening. But there’s still one competition that trumps all the others: the dunk contest.
Watching the league’s most athletic players showing off their most impressive dunks has always been my favorite moment of All-Star weekend. Julius Erving. Michael Jordan. Vince Carter. Legends are made in the dunk contest. We all wish we could fly through the air and pull off some of the most iconic dunks, but most of us, myself included, can’t jump high enough to do a 360 tomahawk on a regulation 10-foot rim.
And that’s where Nerfoop Pro Basketball Set comes into play.
It wasn’t that long ago that running back C.J. Spiller of the Buffalo Bills was running back C.J. Spiller of Union County High School in Lake Butler, Florida. In high school, Spiller dominated his opponents, rushing for 5,511 yards and scoring 93 touchdowns. One of the highlights of Spiller’s prep career was playing in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in 2006, a showcase game for the top high school players in the country. In 2011, Spiller returned to San Antonio, Texas, home of the All-American Bowl, to put this year’s crop of high school phenoms through a speed workout. SIKIDS.com caught up with Spiller after the workout to find out what he thought of the up-and-comers, his new sneakers, and his goals for the 2011 NFL season. Check out the interview and photos after the jump.
