What's Buzz-worthy: Blasters were not among my limit-two realities this past week at the retail aisle but this one pack delivered plenty of energy as well as star power from the past and present -- and it was all strong enough to make me want more. On the mocks here, I thought that the names were too big but in person it all feels pretty comfortable -- a high-energy feel for basic Score NFL without an overwhelming border that has been a little too common in recent years. This one carries a comfortable familiar-feeling but (I think) new design that does have vibes from some past Score releases. The insert and RC volume here is pretty good and those are reasons to rip. The card backs here also are relatively complete and the overall feel of the insert designs jives with pretty much everything -- at least in this pack. (Some past releases have had stuff that felt a little cartoonish.) The Brady is perhaps one of the better finds here though  there isn't really a "big" card here ... but for the basic price the mix was pretty good and the volume and variety makes this a fun break even if not the flashiest pack. Also consider that if you get six RCs per pack and maybe more with parallels, that should mean those key names arrive relatively often. I'll rip more if it presents itself and have more thoughts on this one then.
