Caption This: Context Is Everything

in Caption This!

PrintWhile I will admit that it seems only appropriate to devote today's Caption This to some member of the Philadelphia Eagles, I've been attached to this photo of Drew Brees since I saw it earlier in the week. There will always be time for Vince Young and Andy Reid. This photo, though, requires our immediate attention.
The name of the game is context. There are so many things about this photo that don't fit in the football context. The peaceful look on both of their faces. The tender embrace. The guy patting Drew Brees's head. And did I mention the peaceful look on both of their faces?
I like to pretend that this photo is taking place in different contexts. These are two long-lost brothers, reunited on the football field after years apart. They didn't even know that they both played football until this very game. They make Oscar winners that end that way.
That's the one I'm sticking with.
The rest of you have fun. Give us your captions and rec' the ones you like. Last week's rec' winner was InTimmyWeTrust. Will it be you this time?

hahaha beat me to it
Maslow's theory of higher needs does not apply to Patrick Willis. He only has two needs: tackling people and finding people to tackle.
Personal Foul. 15 Yards penalty. Helmet to helmet contact.

I think it's fair to say
that this is the best photo we have had since the one where it looks like Alex is trying to breastfeed Kendall Hunter.
Brees: Hello, you can hit me just as soon as I throw this touchdown…
throws touchdown you had me at hello!!!!
Giants player: I could never hit you.
Brees: ???

Whoa! So that's how you get strikethrough text
Was not intentional. Supposed to look like this:
Brees: Hello, you can hit me just as soon as I throw this touchdown. (throws touchdown)
Giant: I could never hit you!
Brees: ???
Giant: You had me at hello!!!
They embrace, the music swells, and the Oscar goes to…

Nice reference
But, you’re forgetting the first rule…and the second rule…
Rec’d anyway, cause I’m talking about it too, even if indirectly…

Just what I always wanted
My own little quarterback. I will name him Drew, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him…

FTFY
The only Brees pass that didn’t result in a touchdown… resulted in a patdown.

In a flurry of action with bodies flinging about and a sea of anger and hatred
eyes meet. They do not know each other, but a deep welling of familiarity strike both of them. Perhaps a previous life, or per chance a meeting long ago, but a comforting wave of emotions take them. How could this enemy have such powerful eyes? They meet. The Wild has laws that are not questioned, they are so they are. They finally encounter and grasp each other firmly. The smaller one sighs with the weight of the world easing off of his shoulders. The larger cradles him in his arms and carries him off to their new life with the masses filled in the stadium screaming in disgust. They do not understand… they never will.

I can’t believe no one else has “rec’d” this.

I know!
This definitely deserves to be recd.

Not even being on different teams can separate us.
’Because Love, will keep us together!"
"Never gonna give you up!"
As drew Brees and a Giants player Rick Roll the crowd during the game.
remember the good old days
when players just shook hands after a game?

Giants defense:
The only thing that puts Drew Brees to sleep faster than NyQuil.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother!

From a scene from the upcoming sequal, "I Love You Man, Too"
Childhood friends who grew up loving and playing football have a falling out, going on to both succeed in their childhood game they loved so much. Culminating in an unlikely reunion in a hard fought game that would determine the fate of their respective teams seasons. Overwhelmed in the ehat of battle, the two reunite and rekindle their childhood friendship.
Drew Brees proves he has a compassionate heart
After being driven to tears at halftime when by the Giant’s DC Perry Fewell told his defense how ashamed he is, Drew Brees reaches out to several Giants with a big hug. He can be heard murmuring “Its OK, you are not a quitter to me…” over and over again. The guesture did cause the play clock to expire, but the refs were so engrossed in the moment that they stopped the clock for a handholding ceremony.

Referee's line of thought ...
“Let’s see, the hitee is from west of the Mississippi (well sort of) and the hitor is from New York. Gee, this really is a no brainer … clean hit, no foul!”
Brees: “Come on ref, he damn near took my head off!!”
Herzlich: “Ah come on, Drew, hell, I’m just a rookie!!”
by 49erFanSince1950 on Dec 2, 2011 2:34 PM PST reply actions
The NFL's new catch-and-release policy hit a snag
After Drew Brees, attempting to release Herzlich back into the wild, discovered that the linebacker he had caught with his clever snare had become sentimentally attached to him in a way which no one had previously believe the linebacker species capable of…

"Who dat?! Who dere...?!"
(Player patting Brees on helmet): “It’s ok Drew. You have just suffered a concussion. We’re gonna guide you over to your sideline, just outta respect, a-ight?”

Or
“Ok, Drew, now that I’ve got you distracted, do you notice anything different? No? Nothing? Well, tell me, now…are you missing a brown alligator skin wallet, with a picture of a blonde named…uh…”Brittany" in it? And an IHOP gift card for fifty dollars?
