New
York Jets QB Joe Namath is best remembered for his performance
in the Jets' stunning 16-7 upset of the heavily favored Baltimore
Colts in Super Bowl III. However, during his 13-year tenure from
1965 through 1977 he was one of the game's most exciting, proficient
and publicized quarterbacks. In 1967, he became the first quarterback
to pass for more than 4,000 yards in one season. In 1968, he capped
off AFL Player of the Year and a unanimous All-Pro selection,
with MVP honors in Super Bowl III. Namath's pre-game "guarantee"
of victory backed up by his 206-yard passing production was a
major factor in assuring the competitive viability of the AFL-NFL
Super Bowl series. This Hall of Famer was plagued with knee injuries
through much of his career yet still completed 1,886 passes for
27,663 yards and 173 touchdowns in 13 seasons. And still made
spectacular plays like the one show in this terrific collectible.
This 16x20 vintage b&w photograph shows Joe leaping high to
complete a pass against the Houston Oilers at Shea Stadium on
Sept.18, 1966. This famous shot is hand-signed by Joe and beautifully
framed and matted in thick mahogany, UV-protective glass (very
important for signature protection!), and tasteful dark double
matting. A beautiful piece of sports art (in a Sports
Gallery Exclusive framing) that would look great in
any football fan's office or den. [why

Christian Emeka Okoye (born August 16, 1961 in Enugu, Nigeria) is a formerl running back for the Kansas City Chiefs (1987-1992). Nicknamed "The Nigerian Nightmare," Okoye's six seasons in the NFL saw a league rushing title in 1989, two Pro Bowl appearances (1989, 1991), and three playoff appearances. His career was cut short by a knee injury. He wore number 35. Okoye retired as the Chiefs' all-time rushing leader, having amassed 4,897 yards, 1,246 attempts, and 14 games with at least 100 yards rushing, in his six seasons. Those team records have since been surpassed. Okoye was the team MVP in 1989 and was enshrined in the Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2000. This action shot is hand-signed by Christian and beautifully
framed and matted in thick black wood, UV-protective glass (very
important for signature protection!), and team colors double
matting. A beautiful piece of sports art that would look great in
any football fan's office or den. [why

Jim
Otto new!
HOF 1980
$129
Some
people say that playing on the offensive line has no glory. But
it’s difficult to imagine any one player dominating the honors
at one position more completely than Jim Otto did both in the
American Football League and in the National Football League.
From 1960 to 1974, Otto anchored Raiders' offensive line, starting
every game at Center. A sure-handed ball-snapper and superior
blocker with wide range, Jim overcame numerous injuries to play
in 308 games, including six AFL/AFC Title games, Super Bowl II,
and 12 All-Star contests. Named All-League 12 straight years,
1960-1971, he is the ONLY AFL
All-League Center since he was selected every year of the League's
existence. This Wausau, Wisconsin never missed a game and became
the symbol of the Raiders rise to prominence. This classic photograph
of Jim in action is hand-signed in silver sharpie and includes
the inscriptions "00"
- his famous number - and "HOF
1980" - his year of induction in the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. Sports Gallery Quality
Framed, this classic is a great buy and great gift
for any longtime Raiders fan. [why

Former
49ers WR Terrell Owens has laid claim as one of the premier offensive
players in the NFL. With yearly All-Pro and Pro-Bowl honors and
selections and 83 touchdowns (thru 2003) Terrell is one of the
best at his position, period. In 2000, he produced the most prolific
receiving game in NFL history with an NFL record 20 receptions
against Chicago (breaking a 50-year old record set by Tom Fears
of the Rams). This elegantly framed and matted, hand-signed photo
of Owens racing down the field after a catch is a great collectible. [why

In
January 1999, Fromer 49ers great Terrell Owens provided one
of the more memorable plays in 'Niners postseason history (Dwight
Clark's "The
Catch" notwithstanding). With
the game winding down and San Francisco in jeopardy of once
again falling to Green Bay in the postseason, Terrell made a
dramatic 25-yard game-winning touchdown reception between four
Packers defenders. A remarkable catch no 49ers fan will forget,
the very cool photo of that great moment in Niners history is
hand-signed by Terrell and framed and matted in SF red and gold.
A great gift for any Niners fan! [why

When Terrell Owens set an NFL record by catching 20
passes in a game against Chicago in 2000, it came
in fellow wide receiver (and boyhood idol) Jerry Rice's
last home game with the 49ers.
In
13 seasons with the Chicago Bears, RB Walter "Sweetness"
Payton literally rewrote the NFL record book with his ball-carrying
feats. Most notably he rushed 3,838 times for 16,726 yards and
110 touchdowns - all NFL records at the time of his retirement
from football. Inducted into Pro Football's Hall of Fame in 1993,
many consider Payton to be the best all around football player
who ever lived. Sadly Walter died of cancer in 1999 at the age
of 45. This amazing 16x20 photograph shows Walter diving over
the top against the Saints and is hand-signed by Walter and includes
the inscriptions "Sweetness" and "16,726."
A limited edition inscription, this beauty is quality framed in
thick mahogany, UV-protective glass (very important for signature
protection!), and classic Bears-colored suede matting. A timeless
collectible that will be passed down from generation to generation
in your family. But act fast as we only have one

Peterson new!
Limited Edition "Redcord Breaking
Run" 16x20
$529
Minnesota
RB Adrian Lewis Peterson, born in Palestine, Texas, is appropriately
nicknamed A.D. ("All Day") for his relentless running
style. Adrian played his college ball at the University
of Oklahoma where he set NCAA freshman rushing record
with 1,925 yards. He was a first team All-American that
year and runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Peterson
decided to forego his senior year of college and enter the 2007
NFL Draft where he was selected by the Minnesota Vikings with
the seventh overall pick. As a rookie in the NFL, Adrian broke
numerous franchise and league records for rushing yardage, foremost
being the NFL single-game rushing record. On November 4, 2007
he ran for a remarkable 296 yards against the San Diego Chargers.
Following his stellar first pro season, Peterson was a near-unanimous
choice as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. In the 2008
NFL Pro Bowl, Peterson rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns,
achieving the second highest rushing total in Pro Bowl history.
Peterson was awarded the Pro Bowl MVP Award for that performance.
This beautiful hand-signed 16x20 photograph of Adrian setting
the single game rushing record is a classic. A limited

breaking" inscription. At Sports Gallery, the framing

Fullback
Tom Rathman's professional football career spanned nine years,
the first seven of which were with the San Francisco 49ers. While
in San Francisco, Tom was backfield mates with another Nebraska
alumnus, Roger
Craig. A selfless player and unsung hero in the 49ers'
success, Tom spent much of his playing time providing devastating
blocks for Craig, helping the Niners capture two World Championships
(Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV). In Super Bowl XXIV, he scored two
touchdowns in San Francisco's route of the Denver Broncos. Tom
totaled 4,392 yards from scrimmage and scored 34 touchdowns while
playing in 113 games fro the 49ers. And in 1989, he led all NFL
running backs in receiving with 73 receptions for 616 yards! A

Jerry's Agent likes to say...Jerry is a GOAT
(Greatest Of All Time). He holds an
amazing 14 NFL records - including career receptions, receiving
yards, and touchdowns - and is a member of the NFL's 75th Anniversary
Team. He also owns 10 Super Bowl records while earning 3 Super

to move their home game against New England to Stanford Stadium,
decades older than Candlestick but holding up just fine post-earthquake.

Jerry
Rice/Joe Montana Dual-Signed
$449
This
is a great piece! Hand-signed by BOTH
Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, what better way to commemorate the
combined five Super Bowls that these two players brought to the
San Francisco 49ers. Joe Montana, arguably the greatest quarterback

three of those games. Jerry Rice, without a doubt the greatest
wide receiver in NFL history, holds 14 NFL records and 10 Super
Bowl records. He earned 3 Super Bowl Bowl rings with the 49ers,
two with Joe Montana, and was named the Super Bowl MVP in the
1989 contest. Two

Francisco. Handsomely framed and matted in thick black wood and
49ers colors, this is a great, hard-to-find collectible that will

Super
Bowl XXIX was nothing short of an offensive explosion by the 49ers.
The fifth of the 49ers' five Championships, the Niners trounced
the San Diego Chargers to the tune of 49-26 that day in 1995.
San Francisco QB Steve Young set a Super Bowl record with six
touchdown passes and WR Jerry Rice hauled in three scoring passes
for the second time in his career in the Super Bowl. Rice caught
his third touchdown of the night on a seven-yard toss from Young
in the fourth quarter, enabling Young to break QB Joe
Montana's record of five Super Bowl touchdown passes.
Young was named the game's Most Valuable Player, while Rice turned
in the second best receiving performance in Super Bowl history
(at that time) with 10 catches for 149 yards, while tying his
own record with three scoring receptions. Steve has since been
elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Class of 2005) with
Jerry Rice, arguably the greatest receiver of all-time, to follow
as soon as he is Hall-eligible. Two 49er legends rejoicing in
a great moment in team history, this photograph is hand-signed
by BOTH. Sports Gallery Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass (very
important for signature protection!) and classic Niners double-matting,
this is a great piece of 49ers history. And great gift for that
special Niners fan. [why

Receiver
Jerry Rice, the holder of 14 NFL records and two NFL Player of
the Year awards, joined the Oakland Raiders in 2001. On the Raiders,
Jerry and longtime Raider Tim Brown have combined to create one
of the most feared receiving tandems in the NFL. Together they
caught an NFL leading 18 touchdowns (9 each) in 2001, leading
the Raiders to the AFC Championship game. And in 2002 they took
the Raiders even further, this time all the way to the Super Bowl.
Despite his 49er past, Jerry definitely fit right in with the
Raider Nation. This hand-signed (including "#80") photograph
of "Raiders Jerry" is
a beauty. Jerry is the picture of concentration as he looks the
pass right into his famous hands. Quality framed and matted in
thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and classic Raiders double-matting,
this is a great tribute to the greatest receiver of all-time.

Philip Rivers Sold!< Find
me one! >
San Diego Chargers
$299
Philip Rivers (born December 8, 1981 in Decatur, Alabama) is a football player who plays quarterback for the San Diego Chargers. Football Outsiders projected that Rivers would become an NFL star before the 2006 season due to his spectacular completion percentage in college (72% as a senior). After just 5 NFL starts, Rivers was named the second best NFL quarterback under 25 years of age by Sports Illustrated and drew numerous comparisons to Dan Marino for his quick release and pocket presence. On September 11, 2006, Rivers made his first start in pro football against the Oakland Raiders. Rivers managed the game well despite only passing 11 times, but completed 8 passes as well as one TD in a 27-0 rout of the Raiders. After his first game, Rivers led the NFL in QB rating with 133.9. As a result of a stellar performance throughout the season, Rivers was selected to the 2007 Pro Bowl. Quality

Ben
Roethlisberger new!
$249
Pittsburgh
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is a beast. Blessed with the size
of a linebacker and the mobility of a tailback, he's drawn comparisons
to Buffalo Bills great Jim Kelly for his ability to remain cool
under pressure and strike from anywhere on the field. A three-year
starter at Miami University (Red Hawks) in Oxford, Ohio, Roethlisberger
holds every major passing record at the school and a number of
passing records in the Mid-American Conference. Taken 11th overall
in the 2004 NFL Draft, Ben was immediately touted as a franchise
quarterback by then Steelers coach Bill Cowher. And thus far he
hasn't disappointed. In Roethlisberger's rookie season, he set
numerous rookie passing records, including best passer rating
(98.1), and highest completion percentage (66.4%) on his way to
winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Oh yeah..he also led
the Steelers to the AFC Championship game. And in 2005, he did
even better, bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Steel Town.
In the play-offs, Pittsburgh pulled off amazing road upsets of
heavily-favored Indianapolis and Denver leading to a Super Bowl
match-up with the Seattle Seahawks. The Steeler prevailed 21-10
in Super Bowl XL making "Big Ben"
the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Definitely
an NFL superstar for years to come, Roethlisberger collectibles
will likely only go up in value. A great investment in a great
young football player. This awesome action photograph of Ben runnin'
the ball in the rain is hand-signed by Ben and Sports Gallery
Quality
