      Packers Clay Matthews talks Campbell’s Chunky Soup, his badass DNA and great hair

      Clay Matthews could definitely steal my girlfriend and probably yours too, bud. Upon scheduling this interview, my girlfriend did a quick Google search to put a face with the name.

      As images of “The Clay Maker” flipped across her iPhone, she said, “Wow. This guy is a complete stud.” The accompanying far away look in her eyes told me all I needed to know; that if given the chance, she would shed me the way Matthews sheds opposing double teams.

      Aside from getting the ladies flustered off the field, Matthews has established himself as the best pass rusher in the NFL, thanks to a successful start to his career that rivals any linebacker in NFL history.

      In five seasons, Matthews has made the Pro Bowl four times, been selected as an All-Pro twice, been named NFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2010 and won Super Bowl XLV.

      I was fortunate to speak with Clay about his career, his lineage and the Campbell’s Chunky “Sacks for Soup” campaign.

      Talk about the partnership with Campbell’s Chunky Soup.

      For the past year I teamed up with Campbell’s Chunky and created the “Sacks for Soup” campaign. For every sack that I was able to get last year, Campbell’s Chunky donated 2,000 cans of soup; 1,000 to a local Green Bay food bank and another 1,000 to the opposing team’s city. To date, we’ve donated over 40,000 cans of Chunky soup. For every sack, they also donated $1,000, so we were able to get around up to $20,000 for my foundation (CM3 Charitable Fund), so it’s been a fantastic campaign; one that not only provides for myself, but gives back in the process of doing so.

      What’s your favorite kind?

      My favorite kind thanks to the Green Bay weather and obviously a play on the Packers is the Hearty Cheeseburger. They’re all fantastic, so it’s hard to choose, but just like on the commercial, I like the Clam Chowder and the Spicy Quesadilla as well. They’re all really good, so I have to say all three.

      I thought they’d make you a special kind called “Bear Chunks” for the way you’ve annihilated Chicago Bears quarterbacks in your career.

      I’m willing to try! I don’t know if it would be a big seller, but I’d be all for it.

      Product Review: New York Streets TAR Hair Product

      February 17, 2014 /

      TAR is a texturizing hair product with a medium hold from New York Streets. And being from the streets of NY, it comes with a neck tattoo and a knife. I’m just kidding, those are sold separately. If you do rock a neck tattoo and a knife, “Go Ahead – Be Free,” which is what New York Streets is all about.

      The first thing I noticed was the color of the product. The steel gray color reminded me of paint. And for the canvas of your head, isn’t your hair essentially paint, anyway?

      Hair is ultimately a reflection of the person who owns it, and how you style your hair says a lot about your personal brand and how you interact with the world.

      Valentine’s Day gifts: Coobie Seamless Bra and SZAMERA Manga T-shirts

      February 10, 2014 /

      Coobie Seamless Bra

      When I sat down to write a review on Coobie Seamless Bras, the first thing I did was open the catalog. But with all these hot babes in bras, I didn’t get much “research” done. It reminded me instead of my youth, covertly scouring the JC Penny circular in the Sunday newspaper and heading directly to bra ads.

      Having never worn a bra in my life, I ordered one from Coobie and gave it to my girlfriend. Here are the thoughts of an expert:

      “I have to say there is little to no better free gift to receive in the mail than a bra.  As we know bras can be one of the most expensive parts of a woman’s wardrobe.  And even though Coobie Bras are affordably priced they feel just as good, if not better, than a bra that you (a broke girl like me) would spend her semi-annual bra allowance on.  Not only is the Coobie bra an awesome price ($22), it is also an awesome fit. ”

      Coobie’s one-size fits almost every body from 32A to 36D. They also offer a Full Size version for sizes 38-42D. The Full Size version is two dollars more, retailing at $24.

      “With that being said I will gladly acknowledge the Coobie Bra as one of the most comfortable bras I have ever worn.  It is super versatile in what it can be worn under.  From a basic tee to a dressy blouse, this seamless bra does exactly what it is supposed to.”

      The Coobie bra’s mortal enemy is the “uniboob” that can be created by a typical sports bra. Coobie makes a shapely silhouette without compromising support.

      “There is a sense of rebellion and freedom in letting the girls hang out, but the typical price to pay for being so free is soreness from gravity doing its job.  And if you are classier than I, and always keep your girls in check, than I’m sure you can attest to the pain that an ill-fitting bra can create. ”

      “I also realized, during the trial run of the Coobie Bras I received, that it makes up for needing to wear a camisole under the ultra-low cut shirts as well as dresses that scoop down low in the armpit.  So there you have it, there’s your freedom without being too free.”

      Ah, freedom. Freedom of expression is what Japanese “Manga” comic artwork is all about. The Spring/Summer 2014 collection of t-shirts, tanks and v-necks from SZAMERA successfully merges Manga artwork with the visceral feel of graphic art.

      Szamera Girls

      SZAMERA features images of fictional caricatures that encompass visions of everything from action-adventure, sci-fi, mystery, sports and comedy, with an array of temptingly erotic, bad ass and sexy cartoon girl graphics with titles like, “Angel Demon”, “Car Girl”,  “Gun Girl”, “Bikini Girl”, as well as “Hit Man”, “The Warrior”, “Rock Boy”.  Each piece is designed for wearable versatility that is the essence of the graphic t-shirt.

      Szamera Gun Girl

      My favorite shirt in the collection was definitely “Gun Girl” seen above. Aside from the cool imagery, these shirts feel awesome.

      The quality is evident from the second you open the packaging and feel the texture. which is a mix of 100% cotton, to cotton and spandex blends, depending upon the shirt you choose. The shirt wraps itself around your torso without feeling tight, and moves with you without stretching out and getting loose.

      To order your choice of SZAMERA  Manga T-shirt, check out the website at www.szamera.com.

      In addition to the seamless bra, Coobie offers a full line of women’s products, from leggings to panties, which you can read about via their website.

      Product Review: Old Spice Re-Fresh Body Spray

      February 5, 2014 /

      smellcome-to-manhood-Old-Spice

      Ever since I saw the first Old Spice “Mom Song” video, I have been praying to my non-denominational Spray God every night, asking (begging) that one of the smell technicians at Old Spice reach out to me for a product review of their new Re-Fresh Body Spray. In the meantime, I used an old bottle of Fiji shower gel to feel like I was part of the movement, to show I was “down,” i.e. the way gang members have to “do dirt” to be accepted into a particular gang or sect. And it paid off.

      Old Spice reached out, but just like in gang life, they wanted something from me.  Even though I killed that drifter (needlessly, as it turned out) to peg my “real-a-meter” into the red, what they really needed from me was to recruit more members who cover their members in body spray. After all, 67% of guys who use body spray aren’t using it correctly.

      I blame AXE for the cavalier spray techniques that have been developed, because after those ads, you thought the only way to apply body spray was via Spray Cloud. I seriously didn’t think “too much” existed in the body spray vernacular.
