So this is the end for Vine. The video-sharing app is shutting it down, and the impact may be felt the most in the sports world.
Yes, there are a lot of great Vines from all walks of life, but the sports world embraced Vines as a way to share incredible plays, funny moments and terrible miscues.
Here are 11 of the best Vines featuring our local sports teams. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, so please do send me a link if you believe I’m missing something big (and I bet that is the case).

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce probably could have filled up this entire Top 10 list. But here are three of his more memorable Vines.

“@tkelce: “@CDittmer286: Travis Kelce with the Shmoney dance! https://t.co/bg7FoLdk7m” Get that #Shmoney” @TheAnkerMan mans a vine machine.

When this last one happened, there was a debate about whether or not we should use it. It may not be for the faint of heart, so you’ve be warned:
