10. Nick Saban, to the best of my gesture- and lip-reading ability
The Animated GIFs Of November, Numbers 10 Through 6
We’re dedicating November’s list of animated GIFs entirely to football, the sport everyone loves except for the people who play it. And to better understand these men, we take a look at Football Guys, the unofficial chat room of football.

8. Nick Novak (featuring CBS commentators Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts)
(Via Internet user Jagfire at the Something Awful forums)
| **Online Host** Welcome to NFL On CBS Chat! | |
| IronEagle: hahaha oh man here's Chargers kicker Nick Novak, he's a real whiz kid |
| FoutDansOfWayne: lol hmm, i thought he was a punter. i mean, i see him listed here with a K, but clearly there's P next to him |
| IronEagle: lololol Novak has had trouble converting attempts over his last few games, and if you can't do that in this league, urine trouble |
| FoutDansOfWayne: hmm aaagh Man, I'm trying to riff on "bladder," which seems like it should be a slam dunk, since the football used to be made out of a bladder. But it's, like, too literal. Too on the nose. |
| IronEagle: Hmm. Yeah, that's not an easy one. |
| **OnlineHost** Uh, hey guys, this is family programming. Maybe we should pan away? | |
| IronEagle: lol no
|
| FoutDansOfWayne: /drums fingers |
| FoutDansOfWayne: he's he's their number one option at kicker |
| IronEagle: HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

6. Steve Breaston, line judge, back judge
(found via @ChrisHowdy)
| **Online Host** Welcome to Chiefs-Steelers Chat! | |
| Line_Judge: /makes "back to our earlier conversation" signal |
| Back_Judge: /makes "yes, yes, I'd been thinking that over since the last set of downs, please continue" signal |
| Line_Judge: /makes "well, i mean surely there will be a 'Last Football Game Ever,' you know?" signal |
| Back_Judge: /makes "I mean, I guess" signal |
| Line_Judge: /makes "unless, of course, you really expect football to be played through all eternity, which seems pretty implausible if you ask me" signal |
| Back_Judge: /makes "right, of course not, okay, so are you saying it will happen because of the end of the world or something?" signal |
| Line_Judge: /makes "oh no, that seems like it would be a thoroughly uninteresting cop-out, I'm thinking we eventually evolve -- either culturally, over the next thousand years, or literally, over the next millions of years -- into beings that no longer have any use for football" signal |
| Back_Judge: /makes "I'm picturing a game between Pittsburgh and, like, Rio de Janeiro in the year 2557, and it's the third quarter, and suddenly everyone simultaneously decides, "welp, i think this has been enough football, this ought to just about do it" signal |
| Line_Judge: /makes "ha, well, that's an amusing image, but like most great changes, I think such a development will be so slow and gradual that a single man wouldn't be able to perceive it within his lifetime" signal |
| BreastonPeace: If I could butt in? I think humanity makes a hobby of creating simple institutions and, over the course of decades or centuries, making them increasingly cumbersome and bureaucratic until they're no longer useful, like a waterlogged boot that we must either stop and empty, or discard altogether. I think football, historically speaking, mirrors this trait profoundly, and as such I would guess that within five hundred years, we will all be sitting at desks, faxing deep throws to our wideouts and negotiating blocks through conference calls. |
| Line_Judge: /makes "receiver did not maintain possession out of bounds" signal |
