Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway is featured in this anti-terrorism video from The CELL (Center for Empowered Living and Learning) that hopes to teach loyal patriots of the United States how to tell the difference between a terrorist and a tourist. [via]
Yes, it’s real, and yes I think it’s very funny. This video pretty much shows the difference between a healthy dose of suspicion and pure paranoia.

I have never seen such beautiful sports and athletic equipment as the ones available at Lineaus Athletic Company. Their football and rugby ball (shown above) are absolutely amazing because they’re made from the same kind of tanned leather that you’ll find on a baseball glove. I’m sure these are good to use in the sport but if I owned one I’d keep it on my shelf forever just as a visual trophy. [via]
The football is $275 and the rugby ball is $325.

The crumpled up paper (or tape?) ball is clearly CG so that takes away some of the coolness to this video. But still, I’ll have to admit that the fingers do a good job of dancing around on the table.

Gizmodo posted a video from FanDome last week about the incredibly complicated process of placing the yellow “first down” line on a football field during live coverage of a football game. I never gave the yellow line much thought since it never seemed like it could be much more than just alignment, but as it turns out, there’s a lot of manpower and computer-power that goes into making that yellow line look as good as it does. Things like color adjustments and camera angles and alignment are just the tip of the iceberg for technical crews working to make watching football a bit easier and more understandable to the average TV viewer.
