A Sad Day for Soccer
Of all the possible sports equipment out there, why soccer balls? I had no idea our friends over at SSI Shredding hated the sport so much. Well at least two of them got away.
99 Seinfeld References
Seinfeld was the ultimate show for water cooler conversations. With a countless number of inside jokes, nicknames, characters, and story lines, it didn’t take long for the show to develop it’s very own social language. Now, thanks to Kiersten Essenpreis, we have a beautiful painting depicting a massive, heaping pile of these references (99 to be exact). And she even included a reference key! An excellent tribute to one of the greatest shows of all time.
Cheeky Free Kick
Check out this tricky little free kick by Coventry City. The goal was scored by Ernie Hunt in a 1970 game against Everton. And if you know soccer, then you know this not only took skill, but huge balls to even try something like this. YouTube Link
I’m an Oil Man
I love the movie There Will Be Blood, and Daniel Plainview is one of my favorite movie characters of all time. Lucky for me, I stumbled upon this awesome illustration done by Anthony Ventura. Click below to see the full image.
Paper Shoes
Check out the amazing origami effects in this beautiful video telling the story of the Japanese sports company, ASICS. This video seamlessly blends together actual origami, stop motion and computer graphics to achieve something I’ve never seen before.
Iditarod
An excellent set of photos from the Iditarod in Alaska, brought to you once again from the Boston Globe’s Big Picture.
Louis C.K. on Conan
Before this clip, I had never actually seen any of Louis CK’s material. But after listening to him rant about our spoiled generation on Conan for a few minutes, I have to give him my full endorsement. This is hilarious! (Note: There is a good chance this clip will get pulled by NBC, but for now I’ll keep my fingers crossed) YouTube Link
