| Where's Slider? |
Nike Says: Ben's game face is a grim reminder that his opponents stand no chance. His cold eyes know no fear. His [sinister] grin deepens as yet another challenger's attempt at victory is put on ice (unless you are the Patriots).
Jayble Says: This mask looks too much like Extreme Skeletor. If Skeletor had a child with Evil-Lynn, this is what I would expect the child to look like. I am guessing the kid would be rebellious, considering he's sporting a mowhawk and all. Also, Roethlisberger's cold eyes know some fear considering Cower wouldn't even let him go for the end zone when it was 3 yards away. Whenever I see this mask I can't help but think "The Slider" mask is right around the corner.

Nike Says: LT's game face is a tangible testament to his 360-degree field vision. He cuts and darts on instinct as if armed with a sixth sense. No opponent will ever sneak up on this all-seeing, all-ellusive exposion back.
Jayble Says: I really like this mask, I am not sure why. it just looks really cool. Of all six, this is the only mask that I really like. I can't even think of anything funny to say, that's how much I like this. It's just so cool. I especially like the fact that you can see LT's eyes through the mask. Well done Nike.

| Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? |
Nike Says: Albert Pujols wears a game face that is uncompromising, empowered by a reptilian spirit deep in his soul. With each swing he unleashes his power like a cobra poised to strike its prey.
Jayble Says: The mask is quite ugly. It looks like it's made out of a baseball bat so for some reason I keep looking for the "Wonderboy" engraving someplace. Plus, if Nike wanted to make a mask that symbolized a cobra poised to strike, they should have just used Serpentor's mask. It was far more terrifying and was just done better.

Nike Says: Mariano brings opponents to their knees with the venomous sting of his nasty cutter. His lethal delivery strikes opponents like a scorpion, taking down the biggest and baddest men in the game with efficiency.
Jayble Says: This sucks because Scorpio is my zodiac symbol so they could have made something pretty cool, instead they went the "kinky sex game" route so Mariano looks like he's going to an S&M party. When I see this mask, I fully expect Bruce Willis to come from around the corner with a sword in hand, and then the camera will pan back to expose Marsellus on his knees. Does anyone else find it funny that Nike uses the "brings opponents to their knees" tagline for this mask?

Nike Says: As Torii puts it, "Once I put on my game face, it's on like a pot o' neckbones." To the human fly trap there is only one consumption. His glove becomes the place where opposing at-bats, like insects, meet an untimely demise.
Jayble Says: This is easily the stupidest mask. Again, it sends Nike's message: Watch out for cherry pickers like Torii Hunter. But seriously, when has a fly trap ever been scary or intimidating. I am not even sure what "it's on like a pot o' neckbones" means so if someone can explain that to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Nike Says: You can't enter the mind of Brian Urlacher. His concentration is unwavering. He's got a job to do, endzones to protect, offenses to intimidate. Once his game face is on, nothing can invade his space.
Jayble Says: This mask is the plainest of all the warrior masks. If the whole barbed wire concept was used to support the "you can't enter the mind of" concept then Nike probably could have picked something better. Maybe just a big brick wall, or a safe. Okay, on second thought, maybe the mask sends the message they wanted to send, plus it matches Urlacher's tattoo. Still, I think they should have changed the message and had a cooler mask. Plus, no warrior in their right mind would go into battle with barbed wire on their head. I mean c'mon, it would hurt him as much as the other guy.
