I know, I know. You’ve seen this, and you have too, but they haven’t, so just settle and wait for the next one. We’re having fun out here guys. Thanks as always for reading. Just trying to get us all on the same page here. You know how it goes. Featured above is a player widely considered to be one of, if not the greatest in the world. A simple clip of him doing what he does. Some say real, others say fake. Bowties. Believe it or not.
It’s been a minute since I’ve sat down to watch a full football game. Such a time commitment you know. Nonetheless, I’m bout to sit down, get on and peep this Vikings/Saints in a few hours. Mike told me if the Saints win the Superbowl Reggie Bush is gonna marry Kim Kardashian. Ahh fuck. Kim Kardashian just got mentioned on the bowties! I wanna delete but I won’t. At the same time, I wanna see Brette Favre pull an MJ and go out on top. Regardless, it should be a good game, with more highlights like this. Happy Sunday.
Steve Young putting on in ‘88. Ridiculous because you think it’s a wrap like 5 times until he’s in the end zone. Football’s exciting because you never know what’s gonna pop off in the next second. I guess that’s why sports are so clean. The excitement of not knowing what’s coming next. We”re always on the verge of witnessing greatness. Alright, I’m doing a lot. Happy Thanksgiving.
Consider this. Every day we wake up and we have an infinite amount of choices we can make in regards to how to spend our day. What we wear, who we talk to, who we don’t talk to, where we go and where we don’t go? It goes on, and on, and on, and on. A lot of shit that happens in our days are outside of our control. Simply circumstance. However, one thing we do have control over is our happiness. Think of these jukes as a metaphor for sidestepping that negativity. Unfortunately it will always be present, but it’s up to you on how you wanna deal with it. Shoulder shake? Stutter step? Spin move? Shake the haters off and do you. The end zone awaits.
Ian laced us with a gem today. The most out of pocket shit I’ve seen in a while. In a soccer match between Brigham Young and the University of New Mexico last week, 20 year old UNM player Elizabeth Lambert went absolutely Lady Gaga on the other team. This is actually ridiculous. Just see for yourself.
Becoming an icon can’t be easy. Yet somehow individuals can rise to such a level. In my humble, to the world of art, Andy Warhol is an icon. Coining the phrase, “15 minutes of fame,” is a minuscule contribution in comparison to all that he’s done for art, society and popular culture. Presented here are a selection of Polaroid shots Warhol did for friend Richard Weisman. Commisioning Warhol for the set, Weisman selected a collection of athletes for him to capture. Featuring images of Wayne Gretzky, Muhammad Ali, and O.J. Simpson to name a few, the collection is a rare assortment of some of sports greatest stars. Currently being exhibited at the Danziger Projects Gallery in New York City, these images are Warhol at his best.
Unbeknownst to me, Adidas and Puma were in fact a single brand many moons ago. The two companies were formed in 1948 after Rudolf and Adolf Dassler fell out during World War II and split up their business — once a provider of shoes to legendary US sprinter Jesse Owens (AFP). The rivalry even divided the firm’s home town of Herzogenaurach, a small town of 23,000 people in southern Germany, where Adidas and Puma have rival factories on opposite sides of the river.
For Pops, Snick, D.S, Ben, A.K (because we always fuck with the juggling). Reed, (see you tomorrow) and everyone else who fucks with icy soccer shit.
Oscar threw us some gold last night, so we thought it only appropriate to share the wealth. Some And1 soccer for lunch. Jeon Kwon, not to be confused with international hip hop phenom J-Kwon, is a street soccer magician. Dude pretty much dances with the ball. Even though his competition is lighweight suspect, his bars are undeniable. 1:35 is on some Hot Sauce shit. Most importantly though, Jeons efforts, along with Juans below serve to support the idea that we can be dope at anything if we put some time into it. There’s nothing we can’t do, only shit we haven’t tried yet. Bowties.
It’s always amusing to observe people who are great at what they do. These soccer highlights are no different. In short, a settled mix of some of the best soccer players in the world serving everyone else. The ball control is ridiculous and is something to be marvelled at. 1:44 kills it. This is one of the inaugurals for the football, so think of this as merely an introduction. We’re still swimming in the shallow end. But nonetheless, something for Ben, Snick and Pops to settle on.
For the cats that watch Best Damn Sports, or on the Sportscenter tough this is for you. If you’ve already peeped, be patient, we got you. The most amazing catch ever? Not sure. But could anyone you know do this? Maybe not. So it’s appreciated. Edwin Baptiste. Welcome to Wine & Bowties.
I feel like I first saw this at Nicks house. Posted on the comp in the living room. I wonder how many hands have graced that keyboard. This is the wettest move ever if you haven’t seen it before. Prolly gotta watch it twice.
I remember back in the day I looked forward to touchdowns for this reason. As the countdown gets into the sub 5’s though you begin to realize how absurd some of these celebrations are. It’s like if Tiger Woods started moonwalking after a hole in one, or if hockey players broke into a synchronized dance after a goal.
Led by Eric Cantona, the Nike-Google Joga Bonito campaign was a beautifully executed marketing campagin by Nike. Established in 2006, the campaign sought to bring back the essence of soccer by relating the beauty of the game. In Portugese, “Joga Bonito” means ‘play beautifully.’ This clip features Brazil & Portugal in an intense game of keep a way.
