Superhero & NFL Mashup Art Featuring Tom Brady & Cam Newton
Digital artist and superhero enthusiast, Phil Cho, was commissioned by ESPN to create artwork with the star quarterbacks from last night's Monday Night Football game. Hit the jump to see Carolina Panthers' Cam Newton and New England Patriots' Tom Brady as superheroes.
ESPN's Monday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panters was the big winner Monday night. Ratings were a solid 11.2, up 42% from last Monday's game. Panthers hung on to beat the Patriots 24-20. It was a thrilling game, but marred with controversy. In the final moments of the game, superstar quarterback Tom Brady was marching his team down field for yet another one of his miraculous fourth-quarter comebacks, but a controversial non-call sealed the team's fate. What happened? With a few seconds left on the clock Brady threw a pass into the end zone intended for his tight end, Rob Gronkowski. Yes, the pass was under-thrown, but Gronk wasn't able to correct his path as his route was impeded by Carolina linebacker, Luke Kuechly. The ball ended up being intercepted by Carolina Panthers safety Robert Lester. A flag was thrown, but officials huddled together and decided that there was no foul on the play. Game over. Referee Clete Blakeman, would clarify after the game that the non-call was due to the pass being deemed uncatchable. Either way, ESPN commissioned, Phil Cho, to create superhero-inspired artwork for the game. One, if Cam Newton was victorious, which he was. And another, if Tom Brady had been victorious, which he was not. Enjoy!
