Well since yesterday was the last day of football until next year, I thought I would share the truth behind the great game of football. Studies show that there is actually only 11 minutes on average of actual gameplay in a NFL football game, and of course my girlfriend manages to be walking in front of the television 7 of those 11 minutes. To break it down, we got: 67 minutes of players just hanging out, 17 minutes of replays, 11 minutes of gameplay, and 3 seconds of girls with pom-poms shaking their big boobs.

Above is a sortable chart to see how every minute is accounted for in a sampling of four recent NFL games on different networks. Each frame represents 1% of the broadcast, excluding commercials. I know it is a little hard to see but pretty much that first green strip at the top is actual gameplay, the rest is everything else that makes up the 3 hours of an nfl game.

Grant Gunderson is a Mt. Baker Washington-based ski photographer. His work has appeared in magazines like Powder, Skiing, and Backcountry, and he is the photo editor of The Ski Journal. As an adrenaline junkie hooked on the great outdoors & anything with beauty & danger as bed fellows , I think this work is outrageously awesome! Love the way he has used daylight to balance flash , super strong work, and super strong photography. These photos are just the tip of the iceberg and I recommend you checking out Gunderson’s website found here for more gnarly photography.

Hunter S. Thompson was the King of doing things his own way. An American journalist and author, most famous for his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, he is credited as the creator of Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories. He is also known for his use of psychedelics, alcohol, firearms, and his iconoclastic contempt for authoritarianism. These things make us like him even more. He never was shy to share an opinion, and these motivational posters are all the proof you need to realize that Hunter S. Thompson was one of a kind.

Now I admit this house isn’t as classy or modern as the houses I usually pick for this feature, but Caveland gets this week’s nod on sheer creativity and originality. Honestly who wouldn’t want to live in a friggen’ cave. I can guarantee that every man in the United States would trade in his traditional square box house in for Caveland any day of the week. Curt Sleeper and his entire family have been living inside the cave they’ve appropriately named Caveland, for the last five years. Their unusual story begins back in December 2003, when Curt was searching for a commercial property on eBay and he stumbled across a cave, in the Fetus/Crystal City area, Missouri. I guess it’s true what they say, you can find anything on eBay.

It’s probably a good idea to know a little bit about the entity that creates life, we’re talking about semen here. It is good to know how you can make it tasty for your lady friend so she can’t use the excuse that she doesn’t like salty things. Too bad my diet strictly consists of red meat, dairy products, onions, coffee, and garlic so my semen probably tastes like battery acid.

I could really watch this video over and over again. Visually it really sucks you in and memorizing you. Not to mention the tune in the background is so laid back and chill. It is really cool to stare at the video as if you were looking at a magic eye, the video comes to life in 3-D without having to wear a pair of goofy glasses. This is truly graphic design animation at it’s best.

If your somewhere in the middle on political views it’s nearly impossible to find an evening news anchor worth watching because they are all so far right or so far left.  Every night I go through the news shows, Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, NBC’s Keith Olberman, Glenn Beck, Rachel Madow, Chris Wallace, Sean Hannity.  All express good points and seem right and it’s always fun to go through the channels and see how much they hate each other.  But with all the shit these guys talk on each other and their political views I always wondered why the hell they never square off.  Politicians debate each other, but it is a truly rare event to see news anchors at opposite ends of the liberal – conservative spectrum in the same room together.  I was originally writing this as a rally call to create scheduled television events where these guys square off, there could be fact checkers and point systems and at the end someone walks away the real champ.   So I flipped on the tube tonight and it turns out wishes do come true.  O’Reilly had Jon Stewart on his show.  The king of comedic liberal satire vs the conservative cornerstone of Fox News.   Take your pick, but I give it to Stewart, O’Reilly reaches too far into the conservative bag which makes his argument points a little far fetched against Stewart’s realist views.  Enjoy, its more entertaining than 2 drunk ballbags arguing politics at a party.
