ATLANTA (AP) — Don Crisman knows precisely when the streak began: Jan. 15 Shareef Miller Jersey , 1967. The ticket price for the Super Bowl at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was $12.“Good seats,” Crisman, 82, said. “You could buy $6 tickets, and $10. There were three prices.”On Sunday, Crisman, Gregory Eaton and Tom Henschel will attend Super Bowl 53 . They’re the last surviving members of the Never Miss a Super Bowl Club, the only known fans with a perfect attendance record for the NFL’s biggest game.“I’ve missed weddings, I’ve missed funerals, but I’ve never missed a Super Bowl,” said Eaton, 79, from Lansing, Michigan. “Anyone in my family knows don’t plan anything because I’m gone that week.”Ticket prices have soared through the years. Eaton said he paid $2 http://www.eaglesfootballauthentics.com/zach-brown-jersey-authentic ,000 for his ticket to Sunday’s Rams-Patriots game. The most he paid was $3,000 for Super Bowl 48 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 2014.Now, as the Rams prepare to face Tom Brady and the Patriots on Sunday, preserving the streak is more important than the cost. And it has not been a smooth ride the whole way.Henschel, 78, a Steelers fan who lives near Pittsburgh, had his near-miss in New Orleans for Super Bowl 6 in 1972.“I partied a lot on Bourbon Street and woke up at 5 or 6 in the morning and couldn’t breathe,” Henschel said. “I was on all fours. I finally got outside on the street and a police officer took me to a hospital. The next thing I know I’m in the ER with an IV in me and oxygen.“They rolled me into a room and I’m feeling good and a nun came in and said ‘You’re going to be under observation the next 24 hours.’ I said ‘Sister, you don’t understand, I’ve got to go to this game.’ She said ‘No, you’ll be able to see the game on TV.’ Right after she walked out, I took my IV out and oxygen off and I left. They’ve never seen me since.”Crisman almost missed Super Bowl 2 in Miami when a storm forced his private plane to land at an abandoned Air Force base in South Carolina. He finally had a take a 24-hour train ride before arriving in Miami only a couple hours before the Packers-Raiders game.“My streak almost ended before it began http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-isaiah-johnson-jersey ,” he said.Crisman distributed Super Bowl 53 club shirts to Henschel and Eaton when they met at a luncheon in downtown Atlanta on Friday. It’s a unique club for the three who become mini-celebrities once a year.Crisman, a Patriots fan from Kennebunk, Maine, offered a toast to former members who have died, including Larry Jacobson six months ago.Crisman said Jacobson was a “one of a kind” fan who also had streaks of attending 54 consecutive Rose Bowls and 15 Summer Olympics.As a Patriots fan, Crisman has had much to cheer about in recent Super Bowls. He said New England’s comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons two years ago is his favorite Super Bowl memory.“I had that one in the loss column at halftime,” he said.Crisman is hoping his Patriots, who lost to Philadelphia in last year’s Super Bowl , can win their sixth title. For now, Henschel’s Steelers have the record with six.The smack talk between Crisman and Henschel adds spice to the club’s dynamics.“I’m going for the Rams big-time,” Henschel said. “Big-time!”Henschel is armed with his Steelers’ Super Bowl record for anyone who would question why he’d wear a Pittsburgh jacket to a function before the Rams-Patriots game.“What, do we need to give you a history lesson?” Henschel said before adding with a smile, “That always gets them.”Meanwhile, Eaton’s Detroit Lions have never made it to a Super Bowl. Year after year Devin Bush Jersey , he keeps his streak intact.“I take one year at a time,” Eaton said. “If my health keeps going, I’d at least like four or five more.” ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Over the last few days, versatile Denver Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson has lined up at safety and in the slot position.Not much work at cornerback, though.That could change depending on the team’s contract talks with star cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who’s skipping the organized team activities this week as he seeks a new deal.Indirectly, Jackson’s contract with Denver puts him in the middle of the Harris saga. Broncos boss John Elway signed Jackson (three years, $33 million) and fellow DB Bryce Callahan (three years, $21 million) to big deals in the offseason. Harris is slated to make $7.8 million this season.“I’m in the middle of it?” Jackson good-naturedly asked Thursday. “I don’t think I’m in the middle. Obviously, we definitely want Chris to be here. He’s a big-time player in this league. He’ll definitely help us on the defensive side. At the end of the day, it’s a business. He wants to get paid, to have some type of stability so he can take care of himself and his family. “Harris, a perennial Pro Bowl selection who turns 30 in June http://www.steelersfootballauthentics.com/diontae-johnson-jersey-authentic , is entering the final season of a team-friendly, five-year, $42.5 million contract he signed in 2015. He’s the last remaining member of the team’s notorious “No Fly Zone” secondary.“If he’ll be here, we’ll definitely love for him to be here,” Jackson said. “At the end of the day, we understand it’s a business. Sometimes things happen that we all may not want to happen.“As for the rest of the guys, we have to work accordingly.”For Jackson, that’s absorbing multiple positions in a hurry. The task is nothing new for him as he played some cornerback and safety for the Houston Texans a season ago when he had two interceptions and 87 tackles.Technically listed as a cornerback for Denver, he’s spent most of his time this spring working with the safeties. He’s also seen some reps at the slot position.“At some point, I’m sure I’ll get some reps at corner also,” said the 31-year-old Jackson, who was a first-round pick by Houston in 2010. “I’m trying to prepare for all three spots.”His preference would be to play safety, because “I get a chance to see everything that’s going on and just kind of run and hit people.”Still, he counts his true value as being able to line up wherever he is needed.“That’s one of my strengths Justin Layne Jersey , playing multiple positions,” Jackson said. “I feel like that can help us as a defense on Sundays.”There’s plenty to digest in head coach Vic Fangio’s system and under the watchful eyes of defensive coordinator Ed Donatell. Jackson equated it to being back at Alabama during his college days, when head coach Nick Saban and then-Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart would frequent the meeting room.For advice, Jackson is leaning on Callahan, who played in Fangio’s system when both were in Chicago.“With him being in the system for quite some time, he’s able to help all the guys,” Jackson said of Callahan. “I know a couple times throughout the day when I’ve been playing slot and he’s playing corner, I can look right to him and ask, ‘Hey, what do I have right here?’ He’s been very helpful.”NOTES: Jackson attended his share of Denver Nuggets games during their playoff run. “I’m a huge NBA fan. I try to catch a couple games throughout the year,” Jackson said. … Asked about the change in rookie QB Drew Lock from their time together at Missouri, Broncos guard/center Connor McGovern responded: “That’s a totally different player.”
