Pass Like Peyton With New NERF Products

I wrote about the NERF Elimination game the other day, and was curious as to what technology has done for the NERF Football. So, I went to my local toy store and bought the only NERF Football they had on the shelf — the nighttime NERF Football with a light inside. My five year-old believes it to be the coolest of all footballs. Well … he is in for a surprise as Hasbro Inc. is stepping it up this year with the NERF brand.

The NERF PEYTON MANNING ROCKET PASS (MSRP $14.99) football which literally lights up the end zone should be a big hit. This NERF is in addition to the NERF PEYTON MANNING VORTEX MEGA HOWLER (MSRP $9.99). Guess which one will go farther than the other? I bet Peyton could throw both end-zone to end-zone. read more »

NERF Elimination Game

The day the NERF Elimination Game arrived it was a day like any other day at the office. It did not end the same as any other day. The office was was filled with laughter, and honestly not much work got done on this day. We had grown adults that were sneaking through the office to ambush their co-workers — that was an absolute joyous bonding experience.

This game was more fun than I originally thought when I first opened the box. It all started when I loaded the first NERF Elimination blaster (or sonic whistle dart, as it actually whistles when it's launched towards its target) into the NERF Eliminator. The Eliminator fit snugly into my hands, and I knew immediately what had to be done — eliminate my co-workers! read more »

Fashion Forward

Nashville men have created a look that’s all their own. So what’s next?

It’s no secret that Nashville’s fashion sense is heavily influenced by the music industry. Casual yet fashion-forward, the no stress dress code is our city’s calling card – especially for men.

“Nashville is the most casual of the entertainment centers. It’s closer to Austin than New York or L.A. in what counts as style,” says Coke Sams, filmmaker and partner of RuckusFilm. “We’re easy going and as eccentric as hell. Here you can be comfortable wearing almost anything and people will accept it as stylish.”

Men from all walks of life call Nashville home. This, coupled with the recent influx of transplants from other cities, has caused a cross-pollination of styles and trends that’s begun attracting attention from the media. Now even people outside Middle Tennessee are becoming aware of the “Nashville Look.” read more »
