Game 7 – Better Than Custom Koozies.

It is not often that I admit that something is better than Custom Koozies, actually the list is quiet short.  The list includes God, my family, my health, my spirituality and now the list includes Game 7 of the World Series Tonight.

Last night in Game 6 of the world series, possibly one of the greatest games ever played, the Cardinals beat the Ranger in 11 innings 10-9.  Twice they came from behind to tie the game and then win the game in extra-innings.  This literally was an all-time epic game – one for the ages we should say.

Game 7 is tonight and is going to be wilder than ever. I would hate to see the Rangers lose the World Series for the second year in a row but nevertheless I would be happy for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Go Rangers! But more importantly go one of the few things that is better than Koozies.

Cardinals are better than Custom Koozies?

NFL Post – Better Late Than Never

So all my loyal readers thought that I forgot to post to my blog like I had done in previous weeks regarding the NFL.  So far to date I have covered every week of the NFL and I am not planning on stopping now.

So what stuck out in my mind over the previous week.

1. Ravens are overrated – Joe Flacco is like Tony Romo – you are not going to win a superbowl with him.  Possibly with the biggest and easiest game of the season Monday night was blown by a horrible pathetic offense.

2. T.O. may not ever play again.

3. The Lions might have some issues on their hand.  After starting undefeated they are now on the brink of losing 3 in a row – no check that – they are playing the overhyped Broncos – no need to panic.

4. Speaking of the Broncos Tebow is not good and is not an NFL quarterback – period.  A come from behind win against the Dolphins does not prove anything.

5. Texans showed some heart and are looking like the Super Bowl Champ I predicted them to be

Until week 8… now back to printing custom koozies.  By the way here is a lovely foto for you all from week 7…

Go Bengals - Custom Koozies with Bengal Stripes anyone?

Alan Jack and 5:00 PM Koozies

As Alan Jackson would say – It is 5 o’clock somewhere.  We are about to lock up the Koozie office for the day and I thought I would share one of the best songs for the followers out there.  Not sure if you know who Alan Jackson and   Jimmy Buffet are – if you do not you are probably living under a rock – but they created a great song to tell you exactly how I feel – Listen now and it will put a smile on  your face.

Now go grab your custom koozies, a cheap beer, and go have a drink – do it now – life is short – so stop messing around and go have some fun!

Jen – Is Like Nyro

Guys, I do not always get along with my boss – but then again who does. With that said, though for a boss – Jen, aka the Koozie Master is about as good as they come.  Not only does she know everything about the koozie, knows every way to customize them, knows every way to pack them, print them and ship them – but she also knows how to get the best out of Team Kooz.

She sometimes cracks the whip and gets a little nit-picky here and there but all in all – she is as lovely as it gets.  Just yesterday I was talking to her about problems and instead of worrying about the personalized koozie orders – she worried about me – which in turn allowed me to be a better worker and producer – ultimately giving our customers exactly what they need – great custom koozies.

Jen – the Koozie Master – Cant be beat!

Koozies Make Colbert a Better Man

So – At Kooziez.com we love Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report.  For those who do not know, Colbert is a comedian who acts like a blow hard pundit like O’Reilly, Olberman, and the other idiots of both of the left and right.

Recently he launched an ad with his Super PAC (A Super PAC is a political action committee that can spend unlimited, and raise unlimited, money for whatever they see fit.  His most recent commercial was targeted at the NBA and the lock out of the players.  He called the victims of the lockout the billionaire owners of the league. If you have not seen it, it is priceless – watch it.

Well one more thing – Colbert has recently received some Koozies from yours truly – we look forward to finding out when he will share them on the air.

Week Six of the NFL – What We Learned

So, week 6 of the NFL regular season has come and gone and we have learned more and dare I say the playoff picture is beginning to take shape.

1. The Packers are going to the playoffs.  They beat teams like it is there job – they just looked bored out there against the Rams – I guess that is why Clay Matthews flipped the bird.  Should I put this on my custom koozies?

2. The Lions and the 49ers are headed to the playoffs – and ironically – we might just see a Coaches brawl before and or after the January game.

3.  Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Atlanta – two of these three teams will make the play-offs.

4. In the AFC – the Ravens are the real deal – matter of fact – I think they are the best team in the AFC hands down.

5.  The Patriots are beginning to show more and more chinks in their armor.  They are going to make the playoffs but are they going to win a playoff game?  If I am not mistaken they have not won a playoff game in 4 years.

6.  San Diego and Houston and dare I say – Cincinnatti might be the other teams to represent the AFC.

I still like the Lions to make the superbowl – we will know more come Thanksgiving day when they play the Packers.  The Ravens are my new team out of the AFC.

OK – Koozie Time!

Republican Debate and the 9-9-9 Plan

Cain’s 9-9-9 plan is beginning to make news. Frankly, I am happy someone has got the debate pot stirring regarding how the IRS collects taxes.  Last night at the Republican Debate at Dartmouth, you can see that Cain’s plan definitely got some attention.  I liked it so much – I think I might put it on my custom koozies for the week.

Cain’s plan is simple.  It would tax 9% of individual revenue, 9% sales tax, and 9% of corporate revenue.  The simplicity of the plan is very attractive, how it would actually be put into use might be difficult.  I am sure a lot of companies would try to get around paying the 9%, whether it was online, in cash, from a friend, etc… so the Government would probably have to figure out a way to put a monitor on your business.  The 9% revenue tax would not be that hard to monitor.

The other question is – how would the government collect enough from the plan to run itself at the current size?

The plan has some holes but we should at least talk about it.

Cain's 9-9-9 Plan is like a nice Custom Koozie - gets you talking...

The Playoff Race is Beginning to Take Shape

As usual, I take time from my day at kooziez.com to write an article or two about what I saw and what I believe after another lovely Sunday of Football, cold beer, and custom koozies.

1. The Eagles are in trouble. Many people believed that the Eagles were going to make some serious noise this year, heck, many people believed they were going to win the Super Bowl.  I got news for you – they are not.  The best 1-4 team in the NFL is hands down the Carolina Panthers – not the Philadelphia Eagles.

2. The Packers are headed back to the play-offs.  They will most likely get the cherished buy games as well as play at home until they have to travel to Indy. Unless there is an injury – the Packers might just be playing in Peyton’s home.

3. The Falcons are not going anywhere unless they pull it together.

4. The Saints are good – but maybe as not as good as the Packers.

5. The Raiders and Chargers are going to have some heated games to see who ends up representing the AFC West.

Well – guys my prediction is still a Texans – Lions Superbowl – I guess now it is back to Koozies. Already looking forward to next week.

Giants Took A Beating

Steve Jobs _ RIP

So, the pancreatic cancer finally brought down the living legend – Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs of Apple INC passed away last night. When it comes to innovators in the 21st century, no check that, when it comes to innovators of the history of mankind, Steve Jobs is on the top 10 list, along with Einstein, Galileo, etc.

Here you can read some of the Steve Job quotes through his lifetime. Read the dates and when they were said. The foresight this main had is unbelievable. Job’s quotes may not be ones that can fit on any custom koozie, but they sure are good quotes.

I am not the biggest fan of Apple but my wife is. She loves the IPAD, the MAC, the I-Phone – she loves and has them all. I believe when it comes to market value Job’s company is one of the most valuable companies in the world and for that matter, this history of mankind.

I do not know who is going to replace Jobs at Apple and become the next innovator, but whoever it is, they have big shoes to fill.  Back to printing custom koozies.

Steve Jobs - RIP - Koozies with your name....

Amanda Know is Free and Home In the State of Washington

So, as of yesterday Amanda Knox – aka – Foxxy Knoxxy – is free and back home in the United States of America.  After four long years fighting for freedom from an Italian Jail, Amanda Knox made her way home last night.

About 4 years ago, Amanda Knox lost her roommate in a brutal crime that took place at her house. Knox and her then boy friend were then accused of the crime and found guilt.  However, after 4 years of appeals, recanting of witnesses, and a drama that is made for Hollywood, she is free.  Good Luck getting your movie deal – sit back, grab a cold one, and enjoy your custom koozies.

Frankly, I do not know if she committed the crime or not – however, I do believe she knows who did. I feel bad for the English women’s family who passed away and I hope justice is served, but for now, I am sure Amanda Knox is happy and is free.  She is about to make a million with interviews and books.
