Top 5 All Time Losing Reactions


There's two types of people in this world. People that enjoy watching grown men reduced to tears and F bombs because of their team allegiance and people that don't admit that they enjoy it. Well I am here to tell you that I absolutely revel in it. Being a Jets, Knicks, Rangers and Yankees fan, it's good to know that there are other people in this world whose weekend, which was once looking so promising, suddenly shattered along with the family TV and marriage because "Honey, it's just a game".

Thanks to the internet, we now have assholes that livestream themselves watching games and television shows. I'm a skeptic for the most part as I think 80% of the videos are people replaying the game and giving an over the top reaction to generate views on Youtube.

But, assuming they are real, here are my top 5 all time favorite reactions of people who were so close to victory, only to have it snatched away for our pleasure.

5. Fresh from today's Blair "Ray Finkle" Walsh disaster, this guy actually made me kind of sad for a second. Maybe its his age or the fact that he has a cane. But when he moves around just fine without the cane, it reminded me of all the old people at the airport that pre-board pretending to need assistance and I'm happy to say, was able to smile again. What makes this so tragic is his wife (I'm assuming) saying "Oh Troy, I'm so sorry". His reaction told exactly what this family is thinking. This was it. The next time the Vikings have an opportunity to win a playoff game, everyone is going to be saying how much Troy would have enjoyed this. Queue emotional cheers from the widowed wife. Someone grabs that ridiculous Vikings Santa hat that he has on here that he hates but has to wear because some grand kid bought it for him. OOOOOOO Troy....I'm so sorry... Fire up the t shirt press.


4. This Michigan loss was so beautifully brutal on so many levels. It was like the Red Wedding. You are nervous about the game all week because you just think some bad shit has to happen. You enjoy the game, but are never really secure about the outcome. Finally, it happens. You get comfortable. We are going to win the game, bragging rights and all is right in the world... But you should know better. White people are always going to be white and like 99.9% of the football teams in the world, Michigan's punter Blake O'Niell is white.

You can tell that this chick is one crazy chick by the reaction of what I'm assuming is her son. Scared for his life. Forget not getting dinner that night or not being able to go to a sleepover. Christmas is cancelled. Cancel the birthday party. No smiles until spring practice next year for this kid.

3. Probably shouldn't make this list, but I hate the fucking Mets so I'm taking the liberty here to add it. I just wish I could see the reaction when Murphy pushed the final nail into the coffin when he pulled the Buckner 2.0. I can appreciate this kid's absolute 100% love for his team, but bro come on!! When your boy pulls an iPhone out, you have to dry those tears up ASAP Rocky. Then again, he's a Met fan. It explains the tears, the stickers under his hat like its 2004 and the fact that I can accurately assume that he rode shotgun in the short bus to school his whole life.


2. Of all the great reaction video's to this game, this best exemplifies the life of a person from the state of Alabama. This is your life. College Football. You live for about 15 weeks a year. Shit, press conferences in July are more important than your kids birthday. I'm surprised this video didn't include shotguns and more camouflage t shirts. Maybe those family members were in the other room having drunken sex. In any case, this game was definitely one of those "I remember where I was when" situations. Total heartbreak for the Bama fans and jubilation for the Auburn fans.



1.The GOAT. This mother fucker has absolutely no chill and no fucks given. As a Jets fan, I was definitely pulling for the Seahawks. Brady is the best and Belichick showed once again why he's the best ever.

You know this guy KNEW in his mind that the Hawks were going to win. Hand the ball to Lynch, let him summon the Beast Mode and power his way in. No way could he have realized that the Seahawks had bigger plans for Russel Wilson endorsements career and their hope for him to win the MVP over Lynch. The scary part about this video, besides the fact that it looks like his parents house that he's living in and decided to paint a Seahawks mural in it, is his friends reaction. Stone faced. No laughing. No yelling. Silence. This tells me that this is common and not nearly the worst shit they have ever seen.
