It's Wednesday, also known as Hump Day. Why it's called that? Who knows? But it's mid-week and time for some fun before I post the Pick'em picks for tomorrow. (Mitch is the guest.)

Take a look at the picture above (thanks to Getty Images) and write a caption for it. Something that really captures the whole feeling of the picture. It shouldn't be too hard!

This picture was taken last week in the Florida-Ole Miss game (open the hyperlink to see a giant close-up of Tebow's face...it's hilarious!)

Timmy "Superman" Tebow went for it on 4th down, and oops, he didn't make it. His eyes have a very pained look, don't they?

Be creative, be fun. I'll post the winning (funniest) caption tomorrow. Let's see who can come up with the funniest...I have a feeling the comments are going to be hilarious.

"It shouldn't be too hard!" That's what he said.

Sorry, I really had to do that. Tim might have said that.

Quite possibly the funniest football picture I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I can only think of captions having to do with prison, dropped soap, and Ricky Martin.

Oh, wait- here's a clean one-

In a rare show of good sportsmanship, Ole Miss players were on the spot to apply the Heimlich Maneuver to a Florida team that had choked.

  @Carson:
  
  No dude.. its just a caption contest... was being just funny. In fact I think this is the first time I've written something against the Gators. I love the Gators!
  
  They're my 2nd fav. team after my Red Raiders.
  
  Look at my short list and u'll find Gators in the "fav teams" column and "Tim Tebow" in the fav. athletes column.
  
  Last week I was the only guy on B/R to vote the Gators as #1... proof: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/61034-br-top25-florida-comments-week-5
  
  Was pretty sad last week when the Gators lost to Ole Miss at home.
  
  BTW, Texas Tech HAS won a national championship... wasn't football... wasn't even men... it was the women's basketball championship in 1993 where we beat the Buckeyes to get the national title. Lol!
  
  Go Gators!

Hi Lisa. I enjoy your blog. I am new to blogging on this site. You might want to check out my latest post. I am trying to develop a point system for ranking each team's quality wins and losses. I am looking for some feedback on my system. Thanks, Lou

Tim Tebow: "To infinity and BEY-OOF!!!! ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" (Starts crying).

There you go Lisa. That is what Tebow is saying and doing as he goes for the 1st down, fails to get it, and the aftermath of the loss.

Why didn't they kick the field goal??? It still puzzles me.

BTW, Superman is the one that says to infinity and beyond, right? Or is that Batman or someone else? If its not superman I can redo the comment and change the catch phrase.

  Seriously? That's crazy. I haven't watched that since I was...7, and I still remember it. Its been 8 years and I still know that catch phrase. What is Superman's, then?

  Depends on what you pull the catch phrase from... There are so many damn variations of Superman (cartoons, movies, TV shows, etc)....
  
  "This looks like a job for Superman!"
  
  "Great Scott!"
  
  I think from the original comics/radio shows it was "Up, up and away!"

  Thanks man. But none of those phrases will fit my comment, oh well.

Caption One.

Tebow: "You guys didn't wear deodorant, did you?"

Caption Two.

In a cruel twist of irony, Tim Tebow is stopped by two of the same men he was ministering to prison, just months before.

Note: No offense to Ole Miss fans or players.

I like this contest, Lisa.

'PG 13: 'what the hail did you guys eat for lunch man ...'

PG: 12: 'Now leave me alone - and go home and brush your teeth'

PG 12: 'you know what stinks more than your defensive skills ... your TEETH'

PG 10: 'GOTTA pass that bean out, gotta pass that bean out - come on guys, push me a lil' harder', Ohh wait, are we on the field'

R: I told you guys last night, am still not ready to come outta the closet - these things have to wait until the ball game's over'
