Where did this come from? What is its purpose? We have no idea, but Clowney/Clooney is the rare Photoshop job that successfully toes the line between “completely pointless” and “utterly entertaining.” In its honor, we at For The Win decided to exercise our wordplay muscles and create a few athlete/celebrity mashups of our own. The images below are all illustrations and intended in good fun.
