One of the real joys of designing comes when I get to pick photos from the wire. By the wire, of course, I mean the Associated Press. The AP’s photographers do some truly amazing pieces of art. Some will make you cry, others will anger you, others just make you sit back in awe.
Sports photos, however, will make you tear up in laughter. ESPECIALLY FOOTBALL. Yes, I know that when you’re attempting to tackle a very fast, 300-pound dude you have to put your whole body into it. Don’t ask me how I know. But still, the fact remains that tackling does not photograph well. In fact, it looks a lot like hot man lovin’.
Then there are the candid shots. The players could be celebrating or just collecting their thoughts, either way, the camera snaps at just the right moment and it is magic.
Here are some of my favorites (all compliments of the AP)
Yeah, they’re probably just joking around while doing their stretches, but it still looks like the precursor to a blow job. Just sayin’.
The Cutline says he’s reaching for a towel. If by ‘reaching for a towel’ they mean ‘grabbing her breast,’ then yes, I would agree that’s exactly what’s going on.
I don’t really understand what’s going on here, but I like it. This is what the NFL needs: More half-nekkid men doing pelvic thrusts after the game.
This is amazing. I mean, really. What else needs to be said?
Ya’ll! It was cold in Green Bay that night! I’m sure he wants to have babies at some point in the future! And … and… and … Yeah, I know.
oh yes. the third one down (heehee)? the one w/ the thrusts? oh yeah.
I know! .. The cutline says they’re performing the Haka. Whatever, it looks good to me.
so that’s what the kids are calling it these days…
