The Winners of the Losers

/ rkelleyc / 1 Comment

The rules of our Fantasy Football Football league are pretty simple: if your team scores the least amount of points across the entire league for the week, you have to chug a Smirnoff Ice and send video proof to the group.

There are 10 teams in the league but only four of us have had the (dis)honor of being the biggest loser of the week. But of these losers, who’s the winner with the fastest chug?

Video replay confirms that yours truly is the undisputed winner of the losers, sweeping first, second, and third place. Props to Carter though for stepping up with a massive 24 oz. Smirnoff Ice—double the size of everyone else’s—and taking it down like a champ (featured in the top left and top middle-right squares of the video). Zach snagged 5th, 6th, and 7th place, earning a few brownie points for the unique backdrops in his videos. Will, in his rookie season, faced a tough initiation with subpar performances both on and off the field.

Welcome to the big leagues, where even the losers can be winners—if they can chug fast enough.

Ryan’s Most Watched Videos on YouTube

Spoiler Alert: The majority of these videos are from middle school when I was trying to teach myself how to play the guitar.

  1. “We Hungry.” I probably quote Fast and Furious 2 a lot more than the average person. This clip got saved to my homepage somehow, and now whenever I need some motivation I just remember, “like I said… we hungry.” 

2. “Canon Rock” by MattRach. My ninth grade history class had a “Renaissance Fair” and Justin and I were in charge of playing music at the event. Our teacher said we had to play “classical” music, so my plan was to start out with Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon in D Major”, and then turn it into an epic three minute guitar solo like the video below. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it past the 34 second mark below despite watching the video 100+ times.

3.  “At Home Core Workout” by Ashley Conrad. Maybe a bit of a stretch to put this on my most watched list…

4. “Star Spangled Banner” by Jimi Hendrix. The notes itself are fairly easy to play, but I couldn’t ever match the feelings Hendrix put into the song. And for that, this guitar solo is a piece of history.

5. “Steve Vai vs Ralph Macchio Epic Guitar Battle” from the movie Crossroads. I always imagined playing this at the high school talent show, but again it never happened. Metacritic rated the movie 55/100, but this guitar battle was 100% awesome in my book.

6. “Dixie” by ogershock. Since I never mastered the guitar I thought I’d give the banjo a shot. The song is no longer “politically correct”,  but I still like this version for the fast picking and bluesy tone. His mellow tone seems to acknowledges the end of an era and time to move on.

7. “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told)” by The White Stripes. Mainly, don’t miss the guitar solo at 3:11.

8. “Cliffs of Dover” by Eric Johnson. It started out with an obsession with Guitar Hero 3, and then moved on to the live version.
