‘Visualize the BCS’ contest. Great prizes!
Infojocks Sports Graphics, with a little help from CoolInfographics, would like to announce our very first infographic design contest. The holidays are here, which for a lot of people means eggnog and gift-giving. However, for true sports fans, it means engaging in passionate debates about the merits of the Bowl Championship Series.
At Infojocks, we hate [...]
AFC dynasties disrupt parity in NFL.
I recently read an article on SI.com called Parity is Dead . In the sixth point of the article, Kerry J. Byrne throws some numbers around suggesting that four teams have totally dominated the NFL in the past fifteen years.
The fact of the matter in today’s NFL is that four teams — all in the [...]
All-Criminal NFL Lineup: Defense.
Finally, here’s our followup to our previous post which featured the Offensive Lineup. Again, the selection process was defined by trying to find the players with greatest on-field accomplishments and not-so-great in-court struggles. Dropped charges are not included and players had to be active and charged in the last three years. If you have any [...]
Road to the Stanley Cup Poster
Infojocks is very proud to announce the first poster in our League Championship Series, which will feature the winners of the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, and in our inaugural print, the Stanley Cup champions. This poster is very near and dear to my heart, since I am a Pittsburgher through and through.

Payroll in the MLB playoffs.
Just threw this together real quick out of curiosity. A deeper look might be on its way, but for now, here are the top twenty highest paid players from baseball’s final four. No real surprises here—6 of the top 10 are Yankees.
Steelers catch Miami in wins since merge.
The Miami Dolphins face the New York Jets on Monday Night Football tonight. The Dolphins, coming off of an impressive division-winning season last year, stand the risk of falling to 1-4 and 3 games behind the Jets. However, historically, far more is at stake. Since the merger in 1970, Miami has dominated the competition with [...]
Charting the Detroit Tigers collapse.
I did not quite have time to wrap up this post, but thought I would throw it up anyways. Last night while watching that incredibly compelling one-game playoff between the Twins and the Tigers, I got an itch to try visualizing some of the greatest pennant collapses of all-time. I remembered the excellent work of [...]
All-Criminal NFL Lineup: Offense.
With Michael Vick back on the field and displaying potential every time he touches the ball, it’s easy to forget that a year ago he was serving time for his criminal offenses. Perhaps that’s due to the seemingly incredible number of NFL stars jumping in and out of criminal problems. To investigate this trend, we [...]
“Taxonomy of Team Names” Preorder!
Very happy to announce we’ve finally got the printing process moving along for our second print, entitled Taxonomy of Team Names. This offers the opportunity to open up a preorder and offer buyers a little something extra. For more details about the poster, check out our store page. To get a little jump on preorders, [...]
Preview of Penguins Stanley Cup poster.
Since I’ll be putting up preorders for our new Building a Champion: 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins poster in the next few days, I thought I would take the opportunity to post a preview of some art featured on the poster. I illustrated key moments in the Penguin’s playoff run, from Malkin’s hat trick against Carolina to Scuderi’s kick [...]
