As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I was working on a little project to spice up my desktop for football season, and was looking for some photos of Brent Johnson.

Our man Photog came through for me, so I thought I wouls share it here for you.

These wallpapers are on my web server:

1280x1024

1024x768

800x600

I am hoping to do a new one for each month of the season.

An okay design, OS99. But regarding the picture in question, the fact that it shows Brent Johnson behind Danny McManus makes one wonder whether it is Johnson or McManus who is the focal point design. One might think that the design is praising McManus for his scrambling and passing abilities and in this case, getting off a great pass just before he will be sacked by Johnson.

:lol: Yeah, for all of his HOF numbers and accomplishments, that's the first time I've ever seen "McManus", "scrambling" and "abilities" all appearing in the same sentence!
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Yeah, let's not forget that Danny McManus scored a key touchdown on a third down gamble in the 1994 Grey Cup on a naked bootleg play.

Great work OS. The Sack Master draped over an opposing QB is the purrfect photo.

Since most of you are now upset at my previous comment, I might as well play devil's advocate as I've got nothing more to lose. :twisted:

A factual inaccuracy of that picture is that Danny McManus was a right-handed passer, but he's holding the ball with his left hand as if though he's about to make a pass with it.

Its a *frig* photo *** *****....we all know he is right handed...but if you can remember the game this was taken from (I am sure you dont have any photos of it since no trophy is involved) DMac came in at the end of an ass whooping and promptly was sacked by BJ. He was running for his life..not trying to throw a pass.

Would it have been better if the pic of Johnson had been of him holding the Grey cup...would that help you get some wood instead?

Mod Edit - I understand your being upset Yank, but we can't have personal attacks on the site. I don't agree with Robbie - I think the wallpaper rocks! - but I don't think he meant any harm with his criticism.

The fact of the matter is there was slim pickings when it came to photos of Brent Johnson....go ahead google it yourself.

I was aiming for something to dress up my screen for football season, not to provide factual information. I was at this game in Calgary, and believe me...he was sacked on this play.

No slight to either player intended at all. :thup:
