So a friend of mine had my back and got some screenshots. Apparently Rick Reilly dissed the bucket, but he sucks anyway so gently caress him. They put my site up there but called me "some poster on reddit" so ESPN continues to poo poo on the little guy. At least my site made it. I feel bad for the poor intern who had to photoshop it (I didn't make those edits) One of these days I'm going to see my name on ESPN goddammit       This is a hell of a result for something I made at 11pm because I was bored and feeling productive.

I'm guessing they, like every other outlet trying to look "hip with the kids," just spam whatever Deadspin put up, which is probably why the Eli pic and "An Unfortunate End" got big in the first place. E: Not that I'm trying to discredit how awesome those were, but Febreeze is wondering why some of his work goes viral out of nowhere, and the only real answer I can come up with is "Deadspin found it."

All that needs to happen is one outlet finding it. SB Nation found the Eli pic very quickly. It wasnt even up an hour before David Roth was emailing me about it.Then deadspin half a day later, but they found it via my twitter. SB Nation found it via my reddit post, as did ESPN according to a DM I got and what they said on the show, as did USA today and a few other blogs. Seems like Reddit was the key this time. Surprised I never saw it show up on B/R though, they normally pick anything up.

Another possibility...this is the offseason, so any football related items that are amusing and only take a quick amount of time to view are welcome. The best time to go viral with football stuff is when there's not much other real football stuff happening and people want anything cool that reminds them of football.

Those are all good theories. If anything, now might be he best time to push a "viral hit," since we're in a dead zone between the draft and training camp, so outlets are desperate for content.

Before I begin, I must preface this with a few things. 1. Holy poo poo was this tough to do. 2. Yes, I know I didn't get all of the syllables and rhyming perfect, see #1. 3. I'm sure I missed some notable events, but these seemed like all of the big ones and the ones I used felt like they fit the songs they're in. Again, see #1. Hernandez was totally deserving of two sections though. 4. See #1 one more goddamn time, because I'm serious. With all of that out of the way. effectual posted:I also thought it'd be cool if someone could redo the whole Abbey Road medly but that's tough.

Change it to the Warthogs for alliteration, call them the Hogs for short, play up the connection with the old offensive line, swap out the logo on the helmets and the name in the fight song...how hard is that? I bet some variation of the Arkansas logo would look pretty awesome in the Skins color scheme. EDIT: Everybody would stop being mad the first time they had A-10s do the pregame flyover instead of F/A-18s or whatever.

  More cards. At some point I'm going to print these drat things out. I don't know if they look easy or not but getting the fonts right takes time. Just a BTW, 1992 had card sets from Upper Deck, Topps, Score, Pinnacle, Collector's Choice, Wild Card, Pacific, Pro Set, All-World, Bowman and Fleer. That's not counting subsets like Topps Stadium Club, Fleer Ultra, etc, etc... And I'm sure I'm missing one.

I remember going to a card store watching guys spend $50-80 or more on a box and then tear through it looking for chase cards and discarding the rest. It was a good framework when thinking about the mania over gold, pyramid schemes, bitcoins or whatever it is that someone says "You have to get into _____, otherwise you're just throwing your money away" And I did miss one.
