Www.sportsunlimitedinc.com: Welcome to the World of a Die-hard Bears Fan!

..." and it's #76 on the 50, the 40 the 30...heading for the uprights...and it's a TD!"....(insert crowd roars here!)

If you're like me and you dream of seeing the navy and orange play in person, then this is the Welcome mat for you. Not only is it a great size (perfect for those dirty shoes encrusted with playground dirt) but it's bound to irritate those "Packers" fans that cross your doorstep AND is guaranteed to make the most hearty of "purple people eaters" weep at the memory of a fantastic season..."Da Bears" not theirs of course!

Made of sisal, a rough, tough natural fiber that grabs dirt and keeps it out of your house, and colored with what appears to be long lasting dye, this makes a great statement of your NFL preferences for all (and the mailman) to see as they enter your house! This mat is one of those that, like the bears defense will take a beating and still come out of the huddle, looking strong and wiping up the other guys!

And the size is roomy, which in my house of 2 boys and a dog, is a necessity to catch all the grit and grime they threaten to track in on my new wood floors. I mean this mat extends from one edge of the door to the other with a nice amount of overlap and a width that encourages all who enter to actually USE the mat instead of merely shuffling across it! (and I DON'T mean the Superbowl Shuffle either!)

And I might add here...this is extremely easy to keep clean using a good old broom to brush off grime or if you are like me and like to shake rugs...well, this is a good one to shake the grit out of! It really shows how much it holds when you remove it by force...(think shaking that QB of your least favorite team by the shoulder pads and you've got the action needed down pat!)

Since I received this as a gift, but you can easily find this mat on http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com priced at about $35 without tax, shipping and handling. It may seem a bit pricey to some, but to this Bears fan, this mat is just what I need to show my loyalty for "Da Bears" and keep my floors somewhat on the clean side at the same time! ANd if by chance, you aren't a Bears fan, there are other options for these mats available as well. MY personal choice of course is navy and orange but to each his own!

So, if you long to be down there on the 50 yard line hearing the crack of the pads, the crunch of the helmets, and the smell of testosterone, then check out this welcome mat....it just might just get you in the mood for a little football...and if just seeing it by your door doesn't work, then lie face down on it, close your eyes and pretend you've just been tackled by one of the best...that's sure to put a smile on the face of any die hard fan!

Until later....take care, play safe and "GO BEARS"!!!
