We've made fun of those video game motion capture things before, seeing as they're mostly photo ops for athletes like J.J. Redick (!!!) to pretend their movements are somehow scientific. Well, the creators of FIFA 07 have appropriately mocked this convention in a series of legitimately amusing ads. ...

Thomas, as you know, was cast adrift by Comcast Southeast Sports on Monda...
