JITTER BEASTS:

... Whelp, if you do not follow this blog (...or if you do not know Your Boy personally) you probably might not know that I have been pretty darn sick for the last week and a half - Actually - My Wife and Son have been in the same boat so it is very safe to say that our whole household has been under the weather for a spell.

Yes, I missed and ENTIRE week of work last week - I really cannot remember the last time THAT happened...I am pretty sure it has been a while.

Fortunately we are all on the mend now and I have been back in the office since Monday - BUT - In an attempt to not only try and quickly re-implement myself into the work environment but also get caught up as soon as it is humanly possible I have been drinking a lot of coffee.

Ahem...Yeah, I mean a LOT of coffee.

... So, this fact made me think of a really funny *.gif that I found on 'The Oatmeal's' Website ( http://theoatmeal.com/ ) - And, well I suppose without further delay here it is:

I hope you like the *.gif...It is pretty hilarious IMHO...

SOME MORE BEARS MINIMALIST STUFF:

... Hey, here is some more cool Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork - "Football as Football" has re-branded all the NFL Teams as European Soccer Clubs; they have divided them into Italian, Spanish and English Premiere League versions - AND - They have German designs coming soon too! - The page is pretty cool and totally interactive...You can select the badge of your region of choice, modify the background and share to either Facebook or Twitter...Or simply download the image to your desktop or handheld.

Pretty hip huh?

Here is the link to their main page: http://www.footballasfootball.com/

... And what kind of Bears Fan would I be if I did not provide the direct link to the Chicago designs and copy-past the images for you enjoyment? - Here is a link to the Chicago page followed by the Bears Italian Badge, Spanish Badge and English Badge (...all shown without a background) - Enjoy:

ITALIAN BADGE:

SPANISH BADGE:

ENGLISH BADGE:

... Sorry, I know I am total dork - Sad but true; sad but true - AND - As I have already explained in previous posts apparently 2014 is the Year of Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork...So, yeah - There that is.

PEACE,

B.

MORE BEARS MINIMALIST SWAG:

... Leading up to the Super Bowl two weeks ago Wilson released a series of minimalist artwork images based on memorable moments in past Super Bowls...Yes, I know I have already posted some similar sports related minimalist stuff recently - But I have a few more of these so you are just going to have to suck it up for a few posts.

Anyway, here is my favorite (...for obvious reasons) - It depicts William "The Refrigerator" Perry's goal line touchdown in Super Bowl XX - I suppose that was a pretty memorable moment; well for Bears fans anyway:

Oh, Fridge...You complete me...Well, if Sweetness would have scored a Touchdown in Super Bowl XX too you would probably complete me more but beggars really cannot be choosers can they?

Here are the rest of #TheDukeDozen - Enjoy:

MINIMALIST GRAPHIC SWAG:

I guess 2014 is the Year of Minimalist Sports Themed Artwork - AND - I just cannot seem to help sharing this stuff - So, here is some more good stuff - This Artist goes by S.Preston or simply "Poot Poot" and he has some really cool swag...A lot of his artwork is based on my beloved Chicago Teams.

Here is the link to his page - Enjoy:

THE SEAHAWKS VS. THE BRONCOS:

... Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday - America's excuse to sit around, eat garbage and watch overpaid fat people dressed in spandex slam-up against each other across an imaginary line while fighting over possession of an oblong ball wrapped in pig skin...And then there is the Halftime Show - Sheesh...

Just kidding.

... As you know, I love Football, I love the Chicago Bears - AND - Yes, I love the Super Bowl...And today I am going to sit around, eat garbage and watch overpaid fat people dressed in spandex slam-up against each other across an imaginary line while fighting over possession of an oblong ball wrapped in pig skin...And I will also watch the Halftime Show - But first, I want to leave you with the link below - NY Daily News put a gallery up this past week with pictures of every Super Bowl Ticket to date...Some of these are pretty sharp - Ahem, how about Super Bowl XX - Am I right, come on, am I right???

So, here is the link:

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/tickets-tickets-back-super-bowl-ducat-gallery-1.1596935

... What I find crazy is the average ticket prices from Super Bowl I to Super Bowl XLVII (...this year's average ticket price for Super Bowl XLVIII has not yet been determined) - From $10.00 in 1967 to $1,200.00 in 2013...That is some serious inflation worthy of a Pete Carroll Tycoon *.gif like this:

Fuck you Pete Carroll
