Well done everyone, I’d say ESPN thought of it first but this format was actually developed by an intrepid art teacher at Seton Catholic High School.

“The Da Vinci of Data” —New York Times
Tufte’s writing is important in such fields as information design and visual literacy, which deal with the visual communication of information. He coined the term “chartjunk” to refer to useless, non-informative, or information-obscuring elements of quantitative information displays.
He uses the term “data-ink ratio” to argue against including non-informative decoration in visual displays of quantitative information. He claims that ink should only be used to convey and display significant data. In Visual Display, Tufte states:
“Sometimes decorations can help editorialize about the substance of the graphic. But it’s wrong to distort the data measures—the ink locating values of numbers—in order to make an editorial comment or fit a decorative scheme.”
