We are proud to announce Daniel A. Moore's next release, Maximum Block. This masterwork in oils will document Alabama’s historic, last-second field-goal block that sealed its win over Tennessee on October 24 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Moreover, Maximum Block is, as the artist puts it, his portrayal of "… the Maximum defensive effort given, by the Maximum number of players on the field, in order to preserve a win of Maximum importance." Not to mention, the Maximum size of the player who blocked the field goal attempt!
No shock, Daniel Moore is cashing in on this one already. Only took him seven days.

this raises an interesting philosophical question
can a historic play in terms of alabama football be said to have actually happened unless there is a daniel moore print commemorating it?

Horrible title, yet I will totally buy.

the working title
“big-ass defensive lineman completely and totally owns crappy kicker” was deemed problematic for a wider audience.

That is totally Maximum-riffic!

Well, that's a problem...
Life-size images of Terrance Cody are kind of like asking the guy at Wal-Mart for life-size enlargements of your Grand Canyon photos. I think they’re going to have to work this in on a scale model.

The reason it is called "Maximum Block"...
… is because that is the terminology that Saban and company use for when we are going for the all-out block.
Bad name, though. Of course, Moore’s specialty was always painting, not necessarily coming up with titles.

No excuse
Even if your titular-proficiency only extends to “The _,” then “The Block” would have been better than “Maximum Block.” That sounds unbelievably dumb. If the title is on the print, that alone would probably keep me from buying it.

I tell you...
… Moore has got to be the biggest Nick Saban fan ever. He’s already gotten him three paintings — the Blackout, the Blowout, and now this — and we might end up with another one this year.
Saban is making him a killing.
