A little more smoothing over between now and the 21st and I will get everything that I want.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Awesome. Can't wait to see pictures once you've got the room completed.

That pic of the 10 man defense against Buffalo right after Sean's death is awesome. And Laron signed it "Area 51 Forever." Priceless man. Just priceless.

Got that picture at a sale that PSgamegear was having back in the spring. They had a Tyson's Corner location at the mall and were closing until the winter time. They took half off all the stuff in the store, so I think that I was able to get that picture for about 75 maybe a little more than that. I was really happy with it.

Wow awesome collection, puts mine to shame, I love your Sony surround sound LOL I got the same one only my center speaker doesn't work anymore.
Anyway here is mine, not much but yea.

Nice stuff that you have there. Who signed those game used gloves? Really good idea of having your computer near your TV so you can check the fantasy stuff. I assume that is why you did that.

Hey guys Im a newbie on the board and I have a question for those of you that used the Redskins burgundy paint from home depot. I painted my skins room using this paint and after two coats of primer and five coats of the paint it still looks purple. I took it back and they remixed it for free...but the new paint now looks pinkish! If you have any advice on matchin our color, I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to eventually hang jerseys on the wall and I want it to match.

Take the jersey into Lowes or Home Depot and they can match the paint to it. For a dark color you're going to need to do some serious priming. They can tint the primer for you too. Get quality paint and primer, it makes a difference.

I tried taking in a jersey and they said the color was too inconsistent for their computer to match. It seems like the million skins things I had were all different shades of burgundy. My wife says I should just live with it, but man its been a dream of mine since I was a kid and I just want it to be right. Im also eventually goin with a black olhausen table with either burgundy or wine cloth....but it all hinges on the paint color. Also how can I post a pic on here? Thanks again guys.

Have you tried Sherwin Williams?

[redskinfan401]

My advice (having painted almost every house I've lived in) is to try Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams. They tend to do a better job and have more trained paint experts than Home Depot or Lowes. If I'm just painting white or a casual color, I'll go with the cheap stuff, but if I really care about the exact shade or am having difficulty covering the bottom coat, the smaller paint stores do a much better job (albeit typically a bit more expensive).
