A very unique Super Bowl took place yesterday. An audience 2/3 full of cardboard cutouts, creepy backup dancers, and very very mixed reviews.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who watch the game simply to watch the game. But if you're anything like us, you would rather relish in the snacks, chuckle at the occasional snarky commercial, and, find ways to kill time until the halftime show. These days, however, there is also another component, the hilarious tweets that begin to roll out almost immediately. Whether you won, lost, didn't watch, don't have any idea what we're talking about — you'll probably still enjoy these witty tweets.

Ah, Super Bowl Sunday - the one day a year where it's ridiculously obvious that you are pretending to care about football, and none of the guys will say anything about it because they're too focused on the actual game. For you, the theme of this national holiday is "sports, but make it sexy" in your cute little jersey (you're not exactly sure which player you're repping) and football eye black stickers. When the homies ask which team you're rooting for, the answer is simple - whichever team features Tom Brady, of course.

Even though you really tried to get into the spirit, slowly but surely, it becomes crystal clear to you that this isn't your kinda party. Here's why the Super Bowl Sunday surely sucks the life out of your vivacious body and spirit on an annual basis.

When you think of bodybuilders, most people typically associate it with men, which makes sense when you consider that up until the late 19th century, the female physique was hardly considered one of strength. In fact, women's exercise was very much frowned upon, with women deemed to be frail or weak. But as women's rights, feminism, and equality grew, the concept of "strongwomen" was popularised. Today, there is a whole world of female bodybuilding, where women are proving their strength just as much as mean.

In a striking portrait series called Female Bodybuilders by Martin Schoeller, he tries to "Show the vulnerability that I see and feel in the subjects when I am with them, to get to the complex emotions behind a mask of extreme physical expression. These women mirror our modern cultural hunger for size, aggression, and attention at any cost. We are in the age of Bigness." Some of his stunning portraits are below, and the rest can be found in his book on Amazon.

Covid-19 has taken over, and all sports have been halted until further notice. This has left millions of people sitting at home, twiddling their thumbs and not knowing what to do with themselves. To fathom that there is life outside of sports is... well... weird. Here are some NFL memes that all sports fans will relate to while mourning the loss of the game. Whatever it may be. Right now it's corona - 1, sports - 0. Let's hope things change, and fast!

Sometimes, the real fun is outside the field...

Do you enjoy mud? Do you also enjoy giving up most of your weekends to sit on uncomfortable bleachers while drinking crappy concession stand coffee and listening to your kid whine that they're cold? Then youth sports might be for you!

18 sportsmen and women showed off their toned physiques for "The One Year Fund" which raises money for footwear, clothing and equipment for underfunded young athletes.  The 300-page diary and personal planner for 2018 is packed with stunning photos alongside daily training schedules and tables to record goals, achievements and results. All amazing photos were taken locations around Warsaw, Poland.

Little league, pewee soccer, some volleyball and lets throw in some swimming lesson shall we. Remember those? Going through those now? So you're basically living in your car making sure your kids get to practice... and games. Yup, well these parents have a little something to say about all that...
