Louis Nix Believes He Can Fly, A Short Film
Instead of watching film of Akron like a responsible blogger, I made this video. I hope you agree that I made the right decision.
UPDATE: Louis Nix is awesome.
@AceAnbender lol *tear :)

OK, who stuck with it until the end?
September 10th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
I did. I was hoping for a faceplant.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
Ha - me too.... just waiting for it hoping there would be a zoom in. Still, potentially Oscar worthy. Acting was superb.
September 11th, 2013 at 1:00 AM ^
September 10th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
Why? Couldn't get through the loop starting at 2 minutes or so. Please watch the Akron video!
September 10th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
Boo this man. BOO HIM
September 11th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
MGoBlog, now with 100% more pissing on you.
(No, I couldn't get through it all either).
September 10th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
Brevity is the soul of wit.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
It just makes you a lesser person.
September 11th, 2013 at 12:49 AM ^
tl;dw
Seriously Ace, nice work, but the slides each take about ten seconds too long.
September 11th, 2013 at 7:56 AM ^
That would have made an extra minute or so of watching Nix soar.
September 10th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
For a big fella like that, getting two inches of air is pretty damn near flying.
September 10th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^

Half of me thinks this is hysterical, yet the other half is worried that this cat fell a few stories down. SO MANY EMOTIONS.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:22 PM ^
The cat obviously fell multiple stories and almost certainly did not survive. I don't find this funny at all.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
and still survive do you not? Anyways, I believe this particular cat did survive.
September 11th, 2013 at 10:07 AM ^
i thought cats could survive a fall from literally any height, as they can survive a fall during which they hit terminal velocity
September 11th, 2013 at 12:11 AM ^
It's more dramatic
September 11th, 2013 at 12:25 AM ^
Somehow every movement is in perfect harmony with the music as if they were made for each other.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
Hahaha, i had to laugh. especially when the choir chimes in.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
ace,
nix tried to fly again (fully horizontal) with about 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter, during fitz' 22 yard run.
here is a reference - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAH4TH8T83E#t=4m10s
would love to see this attempt in the short film.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:27 PM ^
Well played
September 10th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
September 10th, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
HR: 708 SO: 1122
September 10th, 2013 at 11:35 PM ^
Um, not to be all baseball-nerdy or whatnot, but neither of those is accurate. The correct numbers would be HR: 714, SO 1330. What you have are his home run total in the American League and his strikeout total while with the Yankees.
September 11th, 2013 at 12:00 AM ^
Yeah, let's nobody forget that one awesome game he had with the Braves. Emphasis on one. But still...

But the stat is not really the issue here dude. I was trying to draw an inference that to hit a lot of HR's, you also have a lot of SO's...
September 11th, 2013 at 7:22 PM ^
Yeah, that's all on me. I understand the point you were making, and it was a good one, it's just that the baseball stat nerd in me cringed at the incorrect numbers. Sorry about that bud.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Some people actually CAN fly while playing football.

September 11th, 2013 at 12:12 AM ^
Anyone can fly during flag football, only the best can do it during tackle football.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:10 PM ^
...that young man cannot fly. Fortunately, DF can sky.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:10 PM ^
Nice 1/2 inch vertical.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:13 PM ^
of a football game, that likely nobody actually noticed while it was happening?
That's the MGoBlog Difference!
September 11th, 2013 at 8:49 AM ^
September 10th, 2013 at 11:16 PM ^
September 10th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
Ace, enjoying a little of the wacky tobacky tonight?
September 11th, 2013 at 8:30 AM ^
of the phrase "short film"????
September 10th, 2013 at 11:25 PM ^
Schofield looks pretty suave with his slow jam dance moves.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:34 PM ^
Whatever you do, don't quit your day job,
oh wait.
September 11th, 2013 at 9:11 AM ^
I concur. There was no payoff. Not one of the funnier things I have seen here.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:36 PM ^
says "I see what you did there...." In the fine tradition of Lois getting smacked in the mammary.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:37 PM ^
That was the greatest thing I've seen all day, and I just watched the US beat Mexico and clinch a World Cup berth. Man how El Tri has fallen...one might even say they have fallen to earth quicker than Mr Nix! What? One would not say that? Okay, I guess I'll stop drinking and go to bed now.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
I absolutely love that you got paid to do this.
September 10th, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
Nix does not need any more reasons to feel bad about himself this week. He's still a pretty dogone good football player! I'm feeling pretty lucky that he did not have the chance to splatter our QB all over the field once or twice on Saturday night!
