"Once you get north of Division Street, you might as well be in Wisconsin." This is Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman and The Office's Craig Robinson arguing about the virtues of their respective Chicago baseball teams for a New Era hats ad campaign. It is pretty great. The only thing that could have made it better is if Robinson was in Eastbound & Down character. Everything needs more Reg Mackworthy.
Hey, remember that time Craig Robinson, of Flip Flop Fly Ball fame, made that graphic for the baseball playoffs? That was cool, right? Good news: We asked him to do it again for the NFL playoffs. And this one even has an awesome bit involving the National Mall.
You can follow Craig on Twitter at @flipflopflying and buy his book, Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball Adventure, which is available now.
(Eds. note: Oops, sorry guys. We know about the 49ers takeaways/giveaways thing. Our bad. Working on it, stand by!)
