caption this 15: redskins-49ers edition

(photo by Brian Murphy)

Ladies and gentlemen, back by popular demand, it’s time for another round of “caption this.”

The game is fairly simple, as you hopefully know by now. I supply the photo and you bring the witty reader-submitted captions. You might not win any cool prizes, but you’ll be formally recognized for being better than your peers and will get some love here on the blog.

Here’s my humble offering for this photo to help get folks started:

“Maybe Mike Shanahan’s decision to hire Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka as an assistant coach wasn’t such a bad idea after all.”

Think you can do better? Leave a comment below with your best caption.

And to see my best photos of the Redskins-49ers game, click this link.

[Editor’s note: The winner is RememberOsaka with a caption of, “Misguided rookie Niles Paul upon learning that Daniel Snyder paid $100 million for bellyflops.” Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun.]

    Niles to self. “Remember what coach said. Go for the ball. Go for the ball!”

    Ginn-“He meant the football Paul. Damn!”

    Realizing suicide was the only way to rid him self of the stink associated with the Redskins inept offense, Niles Paul decided to jump. His mission failed when ran the wrong route and ended up at Fed Ex Field and not at at the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

    In order to better exemplify how he felt about the offense to the coaches Mr. Paul was nice enough to demonstrate what a free fall looks like.

    Coach Shannahan followed through with his threat to sacrifice a player every time a reporter mentions the word ‘rebuild’ during any press conference.

    Unfortunately, Lasik eye surgery only has a 99% success rate…making Mr. Paul a member of the villified 1%

    Even invisible ponies couldn’t help the Redskins defense stop the 49ers in the 19-11 loss on Sunday.

    Great stuff!!!!”The only qualifications for a lineman are to be big and dumb. To be a back, you only have to be dumb.” Knute Rockne / Notre Dame – I’am not sure what Knute say about this move.
    Time to get ready; party starts this week in Miami for the Skins.

    Graduate of Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, Ted Ginn is seen here using the “Wingardium Leviosa” move to break a tackle and run for a touchdown

    ..
    what?
    ..
    too obscure?

    Niles – “Hot Lava!”
    Ginn – “Dangit, hot feet you got me.”
    29 – “Lava boots, son!”

    Demonstrating his new found skill of levitating off the ground Paul tried to impress Ginn of his prowess. Ginn was not impressed.
