I wonder when was the last time we had 6 or more True Freshmen play in the first game. I mean only recently has Joe been doing it so I bet this might be close to a record.

Daryll was asked about the guy getting in his face after knocking his helmet off….his response
Q: What was he saying?
A: He was just saying like, ‘yeah, yeah’ and the defense just rallied around him as if he made a big, big play. I could’ve been ignorant and pointed at the scoreboard, but I’m not like that.

A big play?

He was already down and the dude landed on his helmet. About as lack luster of a helmet coming off “hit” as there possibly could be.

The best part

Was the look on Clark’s face. He just kept looking at the guy like, “Are you serious? I’ve torched you for 300-plus yards and three touchdowns today and you’re going to hop around and celebrate because my helmet fell off?”

Pic...

Is that a real picture?

by Mr. Rosewater on Sep 6, 2009 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions

I don't believe so.

I’m a photographer. I call photo-shopping. I looked back at the Post-Gazette where the photo came from, and I looked at other photos by the same guy, and SEVERAL of them (from other sports) look extremely photo-shopped to me.

it looks fake, but honestly who would take the time to photoshop clark like that?

Fake

Look at the face mask of the flying helmet. Unless they’ve installed mirrors on the front of the helmets, you can see grass through the bars of the mask, when there is clearly white pants of a player on the sideline behind the helmet.

Plus, the proportions are all wrong. Even if Clark and the guy “tackling” him were on the ground, that would make Landolt, and #56 about 12 feet tall (I made up the 12’ tall, but the proportions are off for that to be real)

by dawsonPSU10 on Sep 6, 2009 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions

Exactly

The light on Clark’s face, the helmet, and the shadows on the players…the proportions…as a photographer I study this stuff and frankly it irks me when media try to pass stuff of like this as legit.

by PSUWifey on Sep 6, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions

Wait, they tried to pass this off on a legit news site?

That’s and EPIC FAIL on their part if thats true.

Here's a link

to the same incident photographed by Carolyn Kaster of the AP, it’s picture #6 in the sequence.

Am I to believe two different photographers photoshopped this? Why on earth would they bother? They’re on deadlines. Take of the tinfoil hats, people.

Bringing it in

It looks like

the one on the bottom is a split second later. I can see why some might think the top is photoshopped, but then again that whole picture seems washed out, the photographers must have had their cameras on different settings. Still can’t envision any photographer on a deadline bothering to fake the pictures.
