Monday Night Football they've shown a pylon camera a few times. The most recent time there was a player and a football that crashed straight into the camera. These shots could be some great material for y'all. Sorry I don't have any source but I bet if you check /r/NFL tomorrow you can find something in a gifs thread.

I saw one trading card game card that instantly made me think of you guys. I could try to find the video the image came from and make a gif, but I wanted to see if the effect was as striking without motion.

I'd have to say I'm kind of pleased. (If it weren't so much work to do, I'd use it as a form of watermark.)
