This, too, is a cool photo. I don't really care all that much about UNC football, but it's a very striking image of coach Bunting showing the weight of a 34-0 loss. However, through it all, he's still a loyal Tar Heel.

I don't really mean to derail the thread away from this one particular photo posted by rcade. I just thought that since we were looking at sport photos and all.

I was hoping that people would respond with more cool sports photos.

I was hoping that people would respond with more cool sports photos. If so, we should make it a rule that the photo has to be "recent".

the first photo posted is a good one. though without the net in the frame maybe he is taking tips from Roy Carroll and is a yard behind the line.

rcade, I like the photo and the idea, but your bit about the photographer confuses my little mind. Isn't that the goalkeeper taking a dive?

This one is one of the reasons I miss the sport so...*sniff*

This one of Roy Carroll is particularly brilliant. And there's a whole gallery.

i am with bill. i didn't quit get what the photo of the keeper rmaking a save had to do with "tender moment" and the photographer taking a dive. perhaps it works on a level that i am not getting.

Isn't that the goalkeeper taking a dive? He's taking a picture of a dive. You put your weed in it.

posted by rcade at 06:57 AM on January 21, 2005

I don't get it either.

Weed? rcade are you suggesting that I consume an illegal substance? Like Dirk? For shame!

bill, meet rcade's intent..i think

Probably too late for this strand but I thought this picture of Makhaya Ntini was excellent.
