This is a table setting at a golf themed 50th birthday party. I had a gold themed 50th birthday party for my uncle last year and he loved it. I purchased him this golf memorabilia from Steiner Sports.

I would love to go get my haircut at this sports themed hair salon. I absolutely love the baseball field painting on the wall above the mirrors. It looks so realistic, like you actually at the game. This sport themed hair salon gives the place a nice relaxed, laid back feeling.
This wreath is perfect for any sports fan to deck their house out in holiday gear! The 2 snowmen in middle of the wreath have on Oakland Raiders gear. Let everyone know who your favorite team is with this awesome holiday home decor!
Now that Black Friday has come and gone, I’m sure most people have at least started shopping for the holidays. I bet one of the continuous problems each year is finding that gift for “the guy who has everything.” My father and godfather literally have everything, and every year I turn to my last resort which is a wallet, tie or sweater. I’m over that and I know for a fact they are as well.
Sports home décor is the perfect gift for that “guy who has everything.” If it is a framed autographed 8×10 photograph of their favorite player they can hang it in their bedroom, or if it is a tapered crystal with their favorite team logo on it they can keep it on their desk at work. Sports home décor can be displayed anywhere with pride and joy. Sports home décor is an ideal gift for any sports fan.

Football
Basketball

Sports home décor is the best gift to get for that sports fan in your life that has everything. It’s not a sweater that they can grow out of, or a tie that they wear once and “forget about” or a wallet they don’t need, it’s a gift that will last a lifetime and bring back good memories of the past.

I found this bedding set on pbteens.com. It is perfect for any baseball themed bedroom. They have every team. There is a huge team logo on the pillow and the comforter and my favorite part is the sheets, because all the MLB team logos are on the sheets.

If you are new to the hockey world, you are probably completely overwhelmed and flustered. If you are watching the game on TV for the first time, you probably can’t even keep up with where the puck is half the time. Sometimes I wish when the hockey commentators did the play-by-play, they translated it into sentences an average person would understand. I am no hockey professional, but I will try and clear up some basic hockey terms and rules for everyone!
A backcheck is when a player who is playing defense tries to retrieve the puck by harassing the opposite player.
A bodycheck as rough has it sounds is actually a legal move where a player uses his shoulder or hips to slam into the opposite player to distract them and try and get the puck. The tricky part is that this move is only allowed on the person who has the puck or the last person to control the puck. A player can’t just go skating around the ice bodychecking everyone he skates by.
A cover is when a player gets too close to the opposition, so they can block a pass.
Cross-checking is a small penalty that can turn into a big penalty. Cross checking is when a player has both of his hands on his stick, and forces it into his opponent. If serious injury or blood is drawn the penalty becomes major.
Falling on the puck is a minor penalty that happens when any player other than the goalie closes a hand on the puck. If you are a soccer fan, it’s kind of like anyone on the field who is not the goalie touches the ball with their hand.
To freeze the puck is when a player holds the puck up against the wall with his skate or stick to stop play for a couple of seconds, or to set up a play etc.
Hooking is when a player tries to obstruct the opposite players progress by hooking any part of their body with their blade or stick. This is considered illegal use of one’s stick.
A power play which is really big in hockey is when a team with all players on the ice, attack a team who has some of their players in the penalty box. It is very important for a team to optimize when this happens. It usually last for anywhere between 2-4 minutes, depending on the penalty.
A screen shot is when a player shoots the puck when he is standing behind a couple of his teammates, so the goalie is unable to see the puck quickly, or where it is coming from. Some may consider this a “cheap” move, but you got to do what you go to do to win!
Slashing is when a player intentionally swings his stick at the opposing player, whether or not contact is actually made, the actual motion is treated as a minor penalty.
Spearing is a serious penalty when a player dishonestly jabs the point of his stick blade into his opponent.
Third-man in rule is something I found interesting. It is when any third player involved in a fight gets penalized. I think this is a very good rule used to discourage other players getting involved in a fight that they have nothing to do with. The third man automatically gets thrown out of the game, even if he is just trying to break up the fight!
Hockey may look like a bunch of men skating around chasing a little puck, ramming into each other, starting fights, etc, but they have a lot of remember when playing the game. These are just some of the basic terms used in hockey, there are much more rules and regulations that go much deeper!
