Although he was an All-American end at Florida State in 1964, many professional scouts doubted that Fred would make it in the NFL because he lacked speed. But, Biletnikoff parlayed hard work, precise pass routes, and great hands into a Hall of Fame career with the Oakland Raiders. Coach John Madden called him "one of the most dedicated athletes I have ever seen." In Super Bowl XI, Biletnikoff was named MVP in Oakland's 32-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fred retired after the 1978 season with 589 career receptions for 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns. Fred's trademark was large gobs of a gooey substance known as "stickum" which he smeared on his socks so he could apply some to his fingers before each play. Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988, Biletnikoff was a unique player that fit the Raider mold perfectly. Fred recently made a special in-store appearance at our Carmel store. At the signing, Fred signed many Raider collectibles including this authentic NFL football. Included is the special inscription "HOF 88," Fred's year of induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This great collectible is a must for any longtime resident of the Raider Nation.

On January 20, 1985 the San Francisco 49ers captured their second Super Bowl title with a dominating offense and a defense that tamed Miami's explosive passing attack. Final Score: 49ers 38 Dolphins 16. On that day, San Francisco running back Roger Craig set a Super Bowl record by scoring three touchdowns on pass receptions of eight and 16 yards and a run of two yards. The only thing that kept him from certain Super Bowl MVP honors was a player named Joe Montana, who threw for a then Super Bowl record of 331 yards and three touchdowns (he also ran for another). Thanks to Roger and Joe, San Francisco's 537 total net yards bettered the previous Super Bowl record by more than 100 yards. The game was also noteworthy for its location: Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California. Not your typical Super Bowl venue. Roger hand-signed this official Super Bowl XIX football during his recent visit to Sports Gallery Walnut Creek, along with the special inscription "3X SB Champ!" (Roger went on to win another Super Bowl with the Niners). A great remembrance of one of the 49ers most impressive Super Bowl performances AND their glory years in the 80's, this is a GREAT gift for any Niners fan.

During the heart of Denver Broncos RB Terrell Davis' career (1996-1998), the Broncos posted a 39-9 record for an incredible .813 winning percentage, best in the NFL for a three year span. Nobody can doubt the impact Davis had on his team. In Denver's Super Bowl XXXII win over the Packers, Davis earned Most Valuable Player honors after rushing for 157 yards on 30 carries and scoring three touchdowns. Most remarkable about his MVP performance is the fact that he missed the entire second quarter because of a migraine headache. In 1998, Davis earned the AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award - only the second Bronco, after John Elway, to claim this honor. That year he captured the NFL rushing title with 2,008 yards, just the fourth player in league history to top the 2,000-yard rushing mark in a single season.
