Trick long-snaps
This guy is incredible. Not just at long-snapping, but also at knowing when to use “Electric Avenue” for a YouTube video:
You may know that I played center in high school football, but I was not the long-snapper. I bumped out to end on punts and field goals.
I did, however, produce a montage of trick long-snaps with Redskins long-snapper Ethan Albright when I interned at Fox in DC my senior year of college. He was pretty awesome at it too, though we didn’t come up with quite as many ideas as this guy did.
We did have him snap it through a moving car window, and we used my 10-year-old Nissan Sentra. Funny thing was, my car had been broken into a few weeks earlier. The little corner window behind the back windows was all Duct-taped, so in the finished piece it sort of looked like Albright might have broken the window on one of the previous attempts. When I brought the footage in to the news director he was all, “You couldn’t have used a nicer car?”
Well, maybe if you were paying me, bro.

99 44/100-percent pure
More video to pass your time. I remember this ad, but the absurdity of the percentage never struck me when I was 5. Why not 99 11/25-percent pure?
Since we’re on the topic of Lionel Richie, you should probably see the video for “Hello”
Turns out the video for “Hello” is incredibly, ahh, Lionel Richieish. Hat tip to my man Ripps for tipping me off. Sorry, this is a busy day:
