Question - 154

Connect the visuals. (The connect isn't completely football related though recognizing the players would help). The question (not a great one at that) is for non-football enthusiasts as well.

Answer: The people are Troy Polamalu of the Steelers, Ladanian Tomlinson of the Chargers, director David Fincher (Se7en, Fight club) and Eli Wallach (the Ugly) from the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The connect is the new Nike Fate ad directed by Fincher featuring the two players. The background to the ad is Ennio Morricone's "Ecstasy of gold" which is the BGM of the famous graveyard scene at the end of the movie. Ashwin and an anon got it. Well done.

The link is the Nike Commercial. The football players are Troy Polamalu and Ladanian Tomlinson. The guy with the tripod is David Fincher the director. The last picture is from The Good, the Bad the ugly; which shares the theme with the commercial - The ecstasy of gold, by Enrico Morricone
