Please join us for the 2009 NFL Draft Party on April 25, 2009 at the Fox and Hound Pub and Grille in Edison NJ.
Madison Hedgecock will be signing and commentating on picks. Former NY Giants Running Back Lee Rouson will be signing for free when a purchase is made. The event is being sponsered by Miller Lite and Sports Fan Promotions.
We have finalized the operational details for the Rutgers Spectacular 5 Show to be held on March 28, 2009 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Gambino’s Inn in New Brunswick, NJ. Appearing will be Rutgers recent stars Kenny Britt, Mike Teel, Tiquan Underwood, Jason McCourty, Jamaal Westerman, Kevin Malast as well as returning NFL stars Ray Rice and Super Bowl Champion Darnell Stapleton. We have also announced a special mystery guest will be attending too.
All of the players will be appearing and signing at the same time. Superticket “A” ticket holders followed by Superticket “B” and then “C” ticket holders will be the first ones to go in for autographs. Within each group, tickets will be numbered and given out in the order of purchase — starting with advance purchase tickets.
Tickets for individual players will go next — by lowest number for all tickets held. Again, tickets numbers will be given out in the order they are purchased starting with advance purchase tickets. For example, if you hold a #100 for Britt, #125 for Rice and #150 for Teel, when we call “Now serving 95-100″, you will be able to enter the player area and get all three of your autographs.
Buying tickets in advance will not only save you from standing on a line to buy tickets, but it will get you into the player area quicker. We are expecting a large crowd for the event.
We are pleased to announce the addition of Rutgers defensive end Jamaal Westerman to the Rutgers Spectacular 5 show to be held March 28, 2009 from 11 AM to 1 PM at Gambino’s Inn, 284 Remsen Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ. Westerman was a standout for the Scarlet Knights this year, leading the team in sacks. He played a good part of the season with a torn bicep muscle, which was very painful. He missed the Papajohns.com Bowl after surgery to repair the bicep. He is projected to be a late round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Westerman replaces safety Courney Greene in the show’s lineup. Greene had an unavoidable conflict and cannot appear at the show. Those people who have purchased advance tickets involving Greene will be contacted to make any changes or to get a refund.
Appearing at the show with Westerman will be WRs Kenny Britt and Tiquan Underwood, QB Mike Teel, CB Jason McCourty, along with NFL star RB Ray Rice and OL and Super Bowl Champion Darnell Stapleton.

This show features all of the top Rutgers NFL prospects, including all three NFL scounting combine attendees (Britt, Underwood, Greene). The 2007 Scarlet Knights team was the first in NCAA history to have two 1,000 yard receivers (Britt, Underwood), a 2,000 yard running back (Rice) and a 3,000 yard passer (Teel). All four of those players will be appearing at this show. Stapleton is coming off a Super Bowl victory with the Steelers.

Good Luck in the Superbowl tonight. Just wanted to let everyone know that the appearance last week in Pitt was a success.
Pittsburgh Steelers starting offensive lineman Darnell Stapleton is an exclusive client of Sports Fan Promotions. We have known Darnell since his senior year at Rutgers, just after the Texas Bowl. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer person and a harder worker than Darnell. He spent 2 years at a junior college before joining Rutgers and starting at center for 2 years. He was undrafted into the NFL, signed as a free agent by the Steelers on draft day in 2007. With the loss of some lineman to free agency and injuries, Darnell was thrown into the fire and has started at right guard for most of this season, having never played the position before. He has more than held his own. Darnell even made an appearance on the Howard Stern show today.
This marks the second consecutive year that Sports Fan Promotions exclusive athletes have made an appearance in the Super Bowl. Last year, we had Chris Snee, Barry Cofield, Gerris Wilkinson, Jared Lorenzen, Derrick Ward and Dave Tollefson. It also marks the 3 straight year a Rutgers alumni has participated in the Super Bowl (Shaun O’Hara as New York Giants captain last year and Gary Brackett as Indianapolis Colts captain the year before).
We have autographed items from a number of these players available in the Sports Fan Promotions online store.
Best of luck to Darnell and his teammates in the big game!
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman will be having his first autograph appearance in the Pittsburgh area. The date is this Sat at BC Sports in the Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh PA Saturday, January 24th, 2009 1:00-2:30 PM
