Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Caption This: The two best punters in the world

Now that we're in the full swing of the offseason, I thought it might be fun on occasion to bring back our Caption This! contest from last year.  This probably won't happen every single week during slow times, but I'll try and roll it out as often as possible.

For this first caption back, we've got the Pro Bowl punters from the Bay Area in Andy Lee and Shane Lechler.  For those that weren't when we ran these last year, nominate your favorite submissions by Rec'ing the comment.  How do you Rec a comment?  Well first off, you have to be a registered member of the site (it's free and easy).  When you see a comment that you like, there is a button you can click on called "Actions."  After you click on that you'll see "Rec" and "Flag."  Click on Rec.

In a day or two I'll see what the most Rec'd submissions are and we'll set up a poll for those.  So, get creative and then Rec away.

Andy Lee bets Shane Lechler 4 footballs that he can’t pick which hand Andy is holding his helmet in. Lechler won.

A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.

Hm..

Lee: “Yeah, no I understand man. You don’t have your helmet because playing for the Raiders kind of nullifies Pro Bowl honors, perfectly reasonable.”

Shane Lechler still can’t believe that nobody questioned his entry into this year’s 14- to 15-year-old Punt, Pass & Kick competition. As it turns out, he fit right in with a bunch of ’roiding teens.

Though Andy Lee also entered himself in the 14- to 15-year-old bracket, competition regulators rejected his entry, stating: “It’s ridiculous for a scrawny, baby-faced kid like Lee try to play so far above his age group.”
