And when it comes to home entertaining? “There is everything from
cheese platters to cups to toasters

Griffith added, “The NFL is really
positioning it as a lifestyle from
fashion to party planning. You will
really see party planning take a
bigger light. It will be obvious the
start of the 2012 season.”
