Well first off, the reason behind his reaction made famous by the meme is due to Jack Del Rio (ex-Jaguars coach, new Broncos Defensive Coordinator) style football and specifically – play calling (Dirk Koetter, ex-Jaguars OC and new Falcons OC called plays but was always trumped by JDR, prompting the two's falling out last year when they exchanged a war of words in Jax newspapers.) In the 4th quarter, with 7 minutes left, Del Rio did what Del Rio does – run the ball no matter how many points his team is losing by, no matter how much time is available to make a comeback, and no matter how ridiculous his decision was for the situation at hand. With a 1st and goal from the 7 yard line, with 7 minutes left, Del Rio ran the ball on 1st and 2nd down (a staple of JDR's coaching career, and the plays resulting in this infamous Jags Guy gif.) Del Rio was totally oblivious to how much time was left, how passing would save clock, as well as being the 21st century method of putting points on the board in the NFL. After gaining 4 yards on those 2 runs he finally decided to let Trent Edwards (in for a hurt David Garrard) pass on 3rd, and 4th down – the 4th down attempt being intercepted in the end zone (a staple of Trent Edwards' much maligned career.)

Here's where sh-t gets weird. As it turns out... Jags Guy grew up in Littleton, Colorado. Does that sound familiar? Of course it does, because that's the home to Columbine High School – of which Jags Guy attended, during the exact same years of the Columbine High School Massacre.


The Columbine tidbit is interesting. There’s more in the link. May you forever live in infamy good sir

The Story Behind the Jags Fan Gif


I am still waiting on the 30-for-30 on the Marshall Henderson gif and what has become of all the characters present for that.

For your enjoyment, since it never gets old:

I really like learning the stories behind the more well-known gifs out there. Other day I read about the Alonzo Mourning gif where he's on the Miami Heat bench shaking his head and then nods resignedly

Never knew this one. Thanks for sharing from Reddit, OP!

There’s no confirmation the jags guy went to Columbine. There’s a guy who kind of looks like him in the senior picture so retards on the internet make up fan fiction about him going there. Funny how everyone says he went there and knows his life story but none of those posts ever say his name.

Before we get started, this gif also has four other great reactions in it. It's a very versatile gif.

First, the guy two or so rows behind and to the right of Jags Guy – with the watch – is complaining to his friend, but at the end of the gif he does the exact same hand-under-nose to hand-in-the-air-in-confusion motion almost like he and Jags Guy were somehow inexplicably connected telepathically. That or humans are just mindless followers who react like dominoes but that's for another thread. Next we have the older guy behind and to the left of Jags Guy shaking his head in utter disgust after voicing his frustrations.

Furthermore we have the creeper dude , the resident Sandusky candidate – to his right – sketching up the gif, giving it that pedophile swag. So much so that he too has branched off into his own internet meme around certain parts.


I forgot about the creeper guy and almost spit out my coffee this morning

If you could provide information on the story behind the man in the viral Techno Viking video, you could be in for a few bucks.

The man (Techno Viking) in the video, far what ever reason has obsessively avoided any notoriety from video, even costing him legal fees by hiring a lawyer to maintain anonymity.

To this day his true identity has never been verified, not even by the man who filmed the video at the time.

Apologies for non sports related hijack of thread.
