Jury award winning films. And Brine gloves. And fall ball mocks. And Bieber.

We switched to Vimeo for the week.

Oooooooh I don’t know, its just the first and second and perhaps the last time we will ever be in Kentucky. Had to do something special.

(Youtube was being weird and we really wanted to publish these videos.)

Try not to have a seizure watching the MEGA MIX.

Custom gloves. Dye jobs. Best camp flow. Offensive string jobs. Architecture.

Nothing to see here.

Only to hear.

We forgot the record button had been activated. Consider turning up the volume just a touch to hear clearly.

And two videos covering faceoff instruction. The second video contains some purely evil maneuvers.

Quick snap of us monitoring the inside shooting drill.

Can’t forget this international superstar.

We just received these mock ups from Marshall University. They will be sporting these Elevation crafted reversibles this fall.

We’ll take one in #71.

Brine sent us photos of their new Esquire glove. Visually an updated Deft.

Black replaces white on the stock gloves.

The MLL versions of these mitts are rather gaudy.

We didn’t even go here and we want 84 of these fabric shapes.

Purchase yours in this digital town.

For you soccer fans, here is the Group C scenario provided by Deadspin.

If the US wins, they’re through to the round of 16. A win would give us 5 points in the group. With England and Slovenia playing each other, there’s no way both could finish with more points.

If the US loses, they’re out. Ceding three points to Algeria lets them leapfrog us, and we’re unable to catch Slovenia, no matter what they do in their final game.

The US could also draw their final game (they’ve shown themselves quite proficient at that). That’s where things get complicated.

If the US draws, and England beats Slovenia, they’re out. England would finish with 5, Slovenia with 4, and the USMNT with 3.

If the US draws, and Slovenia beats England, they’re through to the round of 16. Slovenia would win the group with 7, the US with 3, and England and Algeria with 2 apiece.

If the US draws, and Slovenia and England draw, it comes down to tiebreakers. Slovenia would win the group with 5, and England and America would be tied with 3. Here are the variables:

•The first tiebreaker is goal differential. The US and England would have tied all three matches, so we move on.

•The second tiebreaker is goals scored. After two games, the US has scored 3, while England has scored 1. That looks good for the US, as long as the England/Slovenia match isn’t high-scoring. It’s possible for England and Slovenia to finish 3-3, and the US/Algeria to finish 0-0. In that case England would move on. If England/Slovenia finished, say, 2-2 and the US plays a scoreless draw, we move on to the next tiebreaker.

•The third tiebreaker is points obtained in head-to-head matches. The US and England tied, so we move on.

•The fourth tiebreaker is goal differential in head-to-head matches. Again, a tie.

•The fifth tiebreaker is goals scored head-to-head. That’s one apiece, so we move on.

If the US and England are still tied after all the tiebreakers, FIFA draws lots to determine who moves on. Yes, at the most important sporting event in the world, a coin will be flipped to decide the winner.

Daft Punk should make lacrosse helmets

Toews landed the NHL 2011 cover.

And people say Crosby has a boring personality. Holy.
