Bradford WTF because while photoshop made it look like the 49ers broke Drew Brees, Bradford is actually looking at the pre-snap and post-snap formations. So what you're looking at is Sam Bradford actually breaking from the 49ers' defense. And Kool Aid Andy because Wheez IRL is an overrated gif, sorry nerds.

Brees Neck is a fantastic gif that has a bit of everything: an excellent football play and hard hit, plus some unexpected post-game image manipulation. Well composed, well executed. weeze IRL captures everything that it is to be a Wazzou fan. It's "gently caress this gay earth" encapsulated in gif form. And so it represents all of us CFB posters.

While Brees Neck is awesome, Bradford Playbook perfectly embodies the moment, and on a larger scale, the entire career of Scottenheimer. Wheeze IRL is similarly a pure, unedited look at what it's like to be part of a lovely program, only this time from the perspective of a fan. Both are football at their worst, at their best.

Brees Neck is the perfect summation of the essential agony of the football fan. Caught between the conflicting desires to see awesome, hardhitting slobberknocking tackles and the gnawing knowledge that no matter how hard you try to ignore it, every hit that gives Phil Simms a boner has a real, live, breathing man behind it and you get to justify your desire to watch this awful, brutal sport in spite of that. Every time you see his neck stretch, every time you catch the postgame gag interview, it drills that little awful knowledge and despair in a little deeper; every time you see that hit, you invariably get fired up. It's an awful, self-reinforcing circle that you love to hate to love to And ohhhh yeaaahhh! because lol, andy reid is fat

So what you're looking at is Sam Bradford actually breaking from the 49ers' defense. My choices too. If, in the years to come, a something is needed to explain what being lost looks like to a QB, the Bradford Gif will forever fit the bill. It will be quotable for all time. Oooah Yeah! is just cool.

Brees Neck starts out with the essence of football - a big hit. But the post game interview bit is my favorite. Post game interviews are always so dumb and so cliche (excepting Richard Sherman) that it's hilarious to see Brees giving his normal boring post-game soundbite but with the ridiculous long neck. The gif is remarkably well done, too - in the post-game, the adams apple moves well and the whole thing looks surprisingly real. And kool-aid man busting through the wall is such a classic image that to see Andy Reid doing it is just a perfect homage. It's great to see the big guy so happy too!

This vote comes down to the nature of the simulacra that is a .gif to the actual sport of football. With both selections we are given a choice between a documentarian-like image of the sport as-it-exists, the framing of the image acting as commentary without being a direct manipulation, or a vehicle of outward expression being used to reach the platonic truth of the game we so love. To the first vote, we are contrasting the brutal reality of a QB sack with the blase newsworthy-less sideline report, using the alteration to create an absurd commentary that these gladiators sacrificing their body are also calm, media-friendly personalities. This contrasts with Bradford being confronted with the intellectual falsehood of the game- the chess-master image presented by the coaching staff that is turned into so much pulp once it reaches the reality of the field, and the protagonist shaking his head with disgust at his revelation. We are the Bradford, here. We know how futile this world really is. Bradford The second vote I have starts with the long, zoomed shot of a depressed cougar fan, alone, standing for all fans of hopeless teams in hopeless games, soaking in the wet half-popped snack that acts as his one escape from the larger investment of time and money and personal self-worth he has given to the field. We are that fan. Contrast this with Andy, altering the image of pure joy from a coach winning with the later eighties meme of the Kool Aid man- big, red, happy to burst into the scene to await his adulation. While a fantastic addition to the scene, it merely expresses what is already known rather than revealing what we secretly hoped to never find out. Coug in Rain

To me the GIF of 2013 should be one that not only recalls an important event of the 2013 season, but a GIF that can be re-used for a variety of situations, hopefully for comedic effect. Both Brees Neck and Kool Aid Reid are absolutely amazing GIFs that probably surpass the initial impact of Bradford and Wheez, but while they win on first glance they do not have any staying power. Bradford is a GIF that can keep on giving. Schottenheimer hosed up? Post Bradford. Dumb play by any player ever? Post Bradford. Roger Goodell is finally caught taking his rage against the poor out on a homeless black mother of 2? Wait for somebody with actual talent to photoshop the FBI seal onto Bradford's Binder. Bradford's Binder is so perfect as a GIF that it can help an unfunny poster make a joke. In fact, you're probably shaking your head at the annoying words Chiche just wasted time posting. You know who else is? Yea, even a Chiche post can be kind of funny if Bradford has his 1000 yard chipmunk stare. Wheez.gif has a similar power. It too can be used to make any situation more amusing. A player was found passed out in public with a BAC of .3? Post wheez.gif. You're watching the Browns vs. the Texans in a TNF game? Post wheez.gif. You've read several paragraphs of my writing?

Gentlemen, I know I only recently became active in this fair forum, but in that short time I've felt a sense of community that is different from many other sports communities. What is it that binds so many different kinds of poster, what brings a D&D regular to break bread with a known jokeman? A shared experience, a shared realization that speaks to the very soul of humanity regardless of other interests. Football is fuckin nuts. This can take many forms. A man who murders someone and seems to legitimately not be aware that murder is a crime for a little bit. A team, multiple teams, so bad that watching them becomes an exercise in endurance rather than love. A superbowl where a man who on paper should be good figuratively pisses his chance for glory and his spot in history down his leg. Drew Breeze is a monster man with a neck that I'm pretty sure is mostly Flubber, but does he capture that common core that represents TFF so well? Sadly, though it breaks my cajun heart, I must say no. No, only Bradford's Binder can do that. This is the image of a man who legitimately is lost, if you give him a shotgun and tell him he's now playing Doom he may believe you, because he sure as poo poo isn't 100% sure that football is happening anymore. He's been betrayed, as so many of us have by our teams, and in that short gif he desperately turns to technicals for support. How many of us have explained that ON PAPER we have an excellent team, that BY THE NUMBERS we should be doing better? That's what this poor son of a bitch is doing, desperately clinging to pure x's and o's to find some meaning and guidance as he realizes his coaches who he believed to have every angle of play plotted out actually seem to have no clue what they're doing. All he can do is stare into space, and shut the book, because reality has taken over, and he's going to keep getting loving murdered and nothing in that binder can stop it. But beyond that, beyond the pain, there's a whimsy about things, and jesus christ Kool Aid Andy is just the funniest loving thing. It takes a moment of genuine, well earned, celebration and makes it funny.

The Agony of Curls is a gif that speaks to everyone equally. Everything about the gif is knowable. Frustration, confusion, sweat, football, Kellen Clemons just kinda off to the side, we've all experienced these things. It also a nice package summary of the careers of both Sam Bradford and Brian Schottenheimer. weez_irl.gif is different, because it speaks to a specific kind of people. It speaks to the fans of struggling teams. Take solace in the fact that, while Connor Halliday did just throw his requisite 3rd pick of the game, you still have popcorn. And you loving love popcorn.

Voting Bradford's Playbook because it's a pure look into a vision of "man I have no idea what I'm doing" from a starting NFL QB. Bree's neck needed to be altered in order to make it what it is. Voting wheez_irl.gif because nothing pleases me more than seeing the agony of a Cougar fan.
