I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong -- and I was wrong about 2013 Score Football. I've said all along that this year's 25th anniversary edition of the product might be one of the best yet. Turns out there's nothing "might" and "one of" about it. In my humble hobby opinion, 2013 Score Football is, quite simply, the best one yet.

In so many ways, Howarth nailed it.

LOS ANGELES -- At one table, Denard Robinson played "MC Shoelace" and Quinton Patton spun the wheels of steel in a signing room they came to call "Club Panini." At another, Matt Barkley discussed wedding plans across the room from Knile Davis and Tavon Austin, who quietly signed autographs while rapt in their new Panini America Skullcandy Crushers. Minutes later, Manti Te'o free-handed a colorful Chargers lightning bolt, Cordarrelle Patterson wielded an NFLPA photographer's camera and Eddie Lacy was nice enough to show a stranger his most impressive necklace.
