cNet (news.com) has come up with another clever contest using imagery from Google Earth.. funny, I could have sworn that clipping and reposting images from Google Earth on a commercial website was against the terms of use??

Anyway, the cool contest is taking advantage of all the hype surrounding this week-ends Super Bowl (you know, Sea Hawks vs Steelers) Users are shown images of a number of NFL team stadiums (very cool imagery actually!) A clue is given on each and contestants must try to match the stadium to a team. See http://news.com.com/Images+Satellite+Super+Bowl/2300-1026_3-6034188.html?tag=nefd.lede
