Super Bowl XLV
In: Sports
9 Feb 2011This chart of the Green Bay Packer’s season, including play by play analysis of the entire playoffs, is a testament to how well evolved sports statistics are. The designers, Chartball, also do amazing things with baseball statistics.

Weird World Cup Stats
In: Interactive Sports
26 Jun 2010This is a combination of great and shitty. Some of the stats look accurate and are very interesting (202 yellow cards, 11 penalty kicks), some look like bad estimates (calories eaten?!?), and it’s intermixed with way too many oil company ads.
