Written Recognition vs. Visual Recognition.

It's always a rush to do something great in sports, especially in football, one of Americas favorite pass time. 
When you're young and in High School and playing football most of the time you want to be recognized to get scholarships or even the popularity of being the kid who made the winning touch down etc. And when you are the one who makes that move and you get recognized in the local paper for the play that got you the touch down it makes you feel like a little celebrity. 
For example, I like to brag about this and my younger brother hates it, but he is a Sophomore in High School at Capital and gets to suit up and sometimes play for varsity. Their homecoming game against Boise High was last weekend, he ran a 90 yard touch down and got recognized in the paper as a statistical leader. But that doesn't bring back that rush that he felt or we felt watching him run the field. 
My dad had taken a video of it as well an I love to watch it over and over because it's that pride that comes with the rush of him standing out on the field. My dad always takes videos of him playing and made a video of his last years season to some AC/DC music to make it more intense. I watch that one a lot too, just like with pro sports when they have the greatest plays, play backs.

The play that made the paper.

Granted not all of the plays in the video are that great and its kind of shaky, it was taken from my Dad's cell phone, but I think it is a good example of how music can play apart in how the image is perceived.
