One of the few segments I enjoy during ESPN’s coverage of Monday night football is “C’mon Man”. Each panelist or ‘noted football expert’ selects a moment in the past week’s games where a player seemingly didnt show up to play or had a complete lapse in judgement. The panelist shows the clip and then state “Cmon Man!”.  I think this video represents the “C’mon Man” sentiment very well. Where were the Saints and specifically what was defensive back Tracy Porter doing? He’s number 22, you’ll see him being thrown to the ground midway through the run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GD5EUVIvWo
Outstanding timelapse video of New Work City. I especially like the shots of Times Square. The video is just over three minutes long.

I’ve never had a chance to ride this. It’s also not surprising how well the system looks, considering it’s for the Feds.  In comparison, the DC Metro was completed in the mid 1970’s and  is in need of  many repairs and general maintenance. Where as, the Capitol Subway was built in the early 1900’s and looks relatively clean and maintained. Via – BeyondDC

Interesting selection of really narrow buildings in Japan.  In particular, the building in Nagasaki (below), which apparently holds a restaurant, doesn’t even look wide enough for a human. How does it even work?  See the link for more images of narrow buildings. Via WebUrbanist – Narrower Towers: 20 Of Japan’s Thinnest Buildings
