Let The Debate Begin: 2014 In Viral Videos

My colleague Alex Myers' ranking of 2014's best viral videos is Academyesque in its blind spot for genuine viral golf video quality (his #1 selection is the golf version of picking Rocky over All The Presidents Men for Best Picture).

That said, I'm in a forgiving mood because Myers spent countless hours reviewing the many fine viral clips from the year and though my three favorites barely made the list, at least they were in the top 25. Kind of like how the Golf Digest panel always finds some Fazio course of the moment to love over a Merion or Oakmont, only to slide it off down the list a decade a later.

At #25 the high school lads Eric Angeles and Zachary Christman who also had this epic shot, barely make the list with the first of their two viral classics. Their original and still great shot...

Myers could only place the epic dancing bear 19th. But it was my favorite of the year.

And a close second or third place finisher was this brilliant four-footer at Elie, 17th on the list in spite of 3 million views.
