Of all things in this world they have a NFL tacky throw for Black Friday's TS...who decides this stuff??? I usually prefer them over other shopping channels but they have had some very strange TS's lately...this is the third NFL throw since footbal season started in September...I dont get it.

HSN seems to be going backwards. Their sets are low-rent compared to QVC - seems most of their presentations lately use the same tacky set and camera shots are close-in not wide-angle.

The next 4 days are nothing but football, football, football, so that's probably the reasoning.

Maybe Black Fri &/or Cyber Mon will have something more interesting to you.

It isn't Black Friday. It's Thanksgiving and most people are spending time with family and friends; cooking, eating and watching football. So, a football throw seems like a great t s v to me. Obviously, they sell well since this isn't the first one.

yes Thank you for the correction....I was actually thinking the sales that start on Thursday are still called "black Friday" sales........thats where the confusion began.

QVC has had their share of football blankets, throws, jackets and cushions for sale, and they still do, though much less than before. HSN is picking up the slack for a reason - people still want to buy it.

No shopping channels deliberately offers something more than once that doesn't sell.

Maybe their next one will be an NHL throw. Heck if they put

out some hockey(NHL) paraphernalia on instead of NBA and NFL? I just might spring for a New York Rangers throw/hat/jacket, or whatever.

Most of our purchases come from that shopping network. More free to your door purchases and the state takes no tax for online orders. Now if they go NHL, let me know will ya, just in case I miss it? Just start a thread title like: "Shout Out For hckynut(john)", and I'll get back at 'cha.

Lots of people don't know what to get for a guy.....that's NOT personal. Also........there are huge numbers of female football fans.

I haven't seen their TS but HSN often has a football relatated item on Thanksgiving.

It is related to the day and to gift giving.

I bought my sons an NFL throw last year around this time of the year from HSN One is a Bill's fan and one a Packer's fan. Their throws are very soft and warm. I will get another one today for hubby. Our dog loves them too! LOL

I prefer college football over professional. I am not really loyal an one NFL team.

HSN always has a NFL TS on Thanksgiving, it 's tradition!!!

50 percent of Americans have less than a thousand dollars in savings. Cheap gifts with popular logos that fit many on the gift list are a no brainier.

HSN is doing what makes sense for a Thanksgiving Day TS.

I won't be ordering the TS but I have purchases NFL products from them before & may or may not this year. I always get my brother an NFL gift. It is a tradition!

They are in the business of selling and this sports krap sells - esp. over the holidays.

I would think HSN knows that almost as many homes that feature a turkey dinner today also feature some football time.

Frankly, neither of the 'big two' have wowed me in the least with their 'holiday' offerings... Trying to watch either of the Liberty home shopping channels these days is like an endurance test...
