BREAKFAST EXCELLENCE HONCHO. That's part of comedian Rob Riggle's title with Holiday Inn Express, which matters only because as part of a promotion tied to that gig, Riggle and his laser-printing pancake-making machine showed up outside SI's offices last week. While the tool was meant to replicate selfies, we challenged Riggle to re-create five iconic images from our archives. Watch a video of the Pancake Selfie Express at SI.com/pancakeart.
A. Ali over Sonny Liston, 1965
B. The Catch, Dwight Clark, 1982
C. Pete Rose goes in hard, 1975
D. Brandi Chastain ices the World Cup, 1999
E. Kerri Strug sticks the landing, 1996
