Sunday evening's nightmares for Packer fans and fantasy football savants became Monday night's reality as the official word came down: Star wide receiver Jordy Nelson's 2015 football season is over before it even started with a "significant right knee injury," assumably an ACL tear. Cue Wisconsin drinking all of the alcohol.
Jordy's exploded knee certainly puts a damper on what was projected to be a Super Bowl year for the Packers. Sure, the Packers will likely be fine; we still have the returning MVP in the league (as long as he doesn't play an excessive amount in the preseason, MIKE!), Randall Cobb is still a formidable receiving threat and Eddie Lacy is the best running back the team's had in years, one who can also carry a little extra offensive weight if need be.
Sometimes looking ahead and positive reassurances don't work, however. Sometimes, you just need to grieve ... with a collection of Dubsmashes from Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers from before the injury that eerily fit this time of great sadness.
For instance, just need to cry it out to the saddest song in recorded history? There is a Dubsmash for that.
Seeking revenge against the cruel forces of fate and gravity that brought down Wisconsin's favorite Manhattanite (in Kansas, not New York)? THERE IS A DUBSMASH FOR THAT!
In denial? Convinced that the injury still probably isn't that bad and that he'll be able to come back to the team by the playoffs that we will most certainly make despite an improved Vikings team flirting with competence again? Thanks to "The Princess Bride" and the Olivier-esque acting chops of Rodgers and Munn, there is a Dubsmash for that.
Have you already moved on, confident the team can find its inner strength and fight through this oh-so-too-early setback? Wait, inner strength ... that reminds me of Munn/Rodgers Dubsmash collaboration!
OK, Aaron's bicep point has gotten you too confident and assured, and now you're talking smack to the rest of the league again. Cue profane Dubsmash ...
Is there a Rodgers/Munn (Modgers? Runn? Aarlivia? This isn't working ... ) Dubsmash for the feeling of accepting that Jordy is gone, but still holding onto your love for our dearly departed (temporarily) wide receiver? IS THERE!
Or I don't know, maybe you just want to futz around with some swords. Take some rage out on stupid oxygen. Why not? YOU COULD'VE SAVED HIM, AIR!
OK, that one's a little older, but whatever. Enjoy these light-hearted Dubsmashes while you can – hey, they're all better than "Mortdecai"! – because this upcoming season just got a whole lot tougher, and it hasn't even started yet.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
