Some of the Best Animated Sports GIFs Of The Year

There's a full article with many more of these (50, to be exact) but I did the hard work (ahem..) of editing it down to just the best handful for your enjoyment.

Michael Boley smokes a poor Giants intern in the face with a horizontal TD spike.

Mark Sanchez wipes a booger on Mark Brunnell's coat.

Kings "Captain" Dustin Brown  needs a damn sippy cup.

The falsest false start evah. Wake up, dude.

Snicky du Jour: Blake Lively

Where some blondes look like they are produced off a factory line, Blake does have that certain sparkle to her that makes her stand out.

Can she act? I dunno. Don't care, really.

Currently making her name on Gossip Girl, Blake has also been in the Green Lantern movie, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, and The Town.

Here in a little school girl outfit, all I can say is:  nicely played, blondie!

And Now, For the Current Gold Standard

Just a further add on my video of Tebow's... ahem... "unique" throwing motion.

I know that there are variations of style. I know that guys can improve on mechanics. (Although at this late stage of his career, it is very, very daunting to make major changes).

I know that Timmy Rah Rah is "unconventional" and that his running capabilities are currently making up for his lack of passing efficiency.

But good fundamentals are the boring things in sports that makes the great, well, great.

As such, Tim Tebow's current miraculous run of cliffhanger escapes, doesn't excite me as much as others. Which is fine. To each his own.

What does excite me about today's BEST QB's, are the insanely accurate and gutsy throws the best of the best make like it's no big deal. 

I'm talking about throws that are like when Barry Pepper's character in Saving Private Ryan puts his sniper bullet right through the other sniper's scope and into his eye.

Aaron Rodgers does that kind of shit. All the time. Like in last year's Super Bowl. Two throws that were just balls-the-size-of-church-bells good. 

Here they are. Enjoy.
