Fitzy on "Snapfu," and Snapfu vs. Buttfumble Poll

[shmessy]

The only way context is significant for Snapfu is if there's fallout. If Pagano is fired as a result (as he arguably should be) then I'll probably agree with you. Otherwise it was, as I said, just a surrealistically stupid play.

C'mon, Tune. He'll be someone's DC next year. It's over.

The day it is announced, the media will be playing this video continuously in a loop. His team will win it's pathetic division with a 6-10 record 9all 6 wins against the AFC South) and get their asses handed to them again in January.

You and I can revisit this and have a chuckle over it.

What is the name snapfu even about? Is there a joke I'm missing about the -fu part?

It came from SNAFU, an old military term. Short for Situation Normal, All F***ed Up.

SNAFU can be used to describe a lot of teams in the league actually.

Just the same, your "context" for Snapfu at this moment is pure conjecture. The Buttfumble, on the other hand, was as pure a work of comedic art-in-motion as we'll see in this lifetime. IMO, its iconic status in Patriots lore remains unchallenged.

This is the gift that just keeps on giving!

@tomecurran @CSNNE Just heard Zolak say that Bolden told him the guy under center kept yelling "Don't snap it! Don't snap it!"

For your reading pleasure, my friends. As Dikembe would say; You are welcome!

Chuck Pagano must go on radio to answer Colts' punt disaster questions

Some of the retweets are hilarious. My favorite was "would you consider that fake punt a bad football play or good performance art?:

Yeah, but only one can have a SNAPFU.

That's good, but my favorite?

I have to go with snapfu. I was seriously still laughing 10 minutes after it happened. Just one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in a game. Buttfumble was funny but unintentional and it was great because it was part of a sequence of events that led to 3 Patriot scores in less than a minute. But the fact that the Colts intentionally trotted this formation out and thought it would be anything but a disaster just edges it for me.

LOL, just saw this on PFT site too:
Colts ask fans for questions for Chuck Pagano, it went not well

Looks like Indy folks finally got the Internet — and a set of funny bones.

Here's an interesting tidbit. The Buttfumble occurred a week before the Pats played the Colts. The Snapfu happened the week before the Pats played the Jets.

The worst?
Snapfu because the Buttfumble was a mistake, not part of a "plan."

Buttfumble was shocking, Snapfu was surreal. I was thinking this has to be waved off, must be a timeout or something! Both were amazing in their own way. Buttfumble had much more of a pop.

The lack of a blow out is almost made up by this play. This one play may have cost Pagano his job.

Looks like the music guy from Lucas Oil Field would vote Snapfu - from Peter King's MMQB:

"Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me
I

When NBC went to commercial break after the Colts’ bizarre fake-punt play that turned into a monumental failure Sunday night, the bumper music was “Misunderstanding,” by Genesis. (“There must be some misunderstanding/There must be some kind of mistake.”)

The back story: NBC’s lead audio technician, Wendel Stevens, makes a playlist for the Sunday night games. “Misunderstanding” was not on the original playlist. After the botched fake punt Stevens quickly found it and put it on the air. "

More WIN!

cuppycup @cuppycup
@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan do you consider the fake punt a success because no one died (that we know of)?
