Football Superstar Jerry Rice Launches Fan Web Site Created By
Sales OnLine Direct WORCESTER, Mass., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- NFL's all-time touchdown king Jerry Rice and Sales OnLine Direct
(BULLETIN BOARD: PAID) present the official Jerry Rice fan web
site: http://www.jerryricefootball.com/. The exciting, fun-filled
site gives fans a chance to share Rice's experiences as the
greatest wide receiver to ever play in the NFL. The Internet
provides a great medium for Rice to reach out to thousands of fans
simultaneously to answer their questions, share his successes and
give them some insight on what he's really like. The site also
provides great background on Rice's 17-year career, where he broke
record after record on his way to the top: NFL records for career
receptions, total touchdowns, receiving touchdowns, games with
100-yards receiving, most receiving yards in a season, most
consecutive games with a receiving touchdown, most consecutive
100-catch seasons, and most seasons with 50 or more receptions. In
addition to developing and hosting the site for football's biggest
sports icon, Sales OnLine Direct will manage all site content and
fulfillment of merchandise orders generated through the site. "We
created Jerry's site to go above and beyond anything we've seen on
the market as far as athletes' web sites go," said Rob Riggieri,
Sales OnLine Direct Celebrity Sports Director. "We believe fans are
really going to enjoy this Web site. One of the highlights is a
unique photo timeline of Jerry's career highlights. Fans who
collect sports memorabilia will really appreciate the online store
where they can purchase items autographed by Jerry. This is a real
find because it's often very difficult or expensive to get access
to items signed by such a phenomenal player." With an eye to
keeping all those armchair quarterbacks occupied between games,
Rice's web site contains a plethora of information and exclusive
features on Rice not available anywhere else. Some features of the
site include: * Exclusive Q&As with Jerry - Find out what the
"Touchdown Talent" thinks about issues on and off the field * Fan
Club - convenient registration for the official fan club of
football's hottest player * Jerry Rice Authentic Autographed
Merchandise - all items have certificates of authenticity from
Global Authentication, the premier sports authentication service. *

the same views? Here's where YOUR articles on Jerry can be
