Bobby Shmurda started all this. The Brooklyn rapper introduced the world to one of the latest dance fads, The Shmoney Dance (see what he did there?), in his video for his debut single this past July, and it quickly went viral. , the video had about 450,000 views in three months. It now has nearly 20 million views.

Basically everyone wanted to Shmoney — including Beyonce, who Oprah-fied the move when she did it on her On the Run tour.
And now the Broncos are doing it. And after an offseason that put Peyton’s moves in the spotlight and a regular season that has already been peppered with new celebratory dances, I think it’s time we seriously analyze the Broncos’ moves. Seriously.
With that, it’s only right to start with Julius Thomas who, I believe, was the first Bronco to do the Shmoney dance on national television. It was … OK. (Sorry, Julius).
Next: Manning’s “Rocky Top” dance. You saw it. We all saw it. It was awesomely awkward and deserves the full praise it has received. The moves are original and completely out of rhythm. One can only hope he does this in game (unlikely).
Moving on to DeMarcus Ware. This was before he joined the Broncos, but because he vowed to teach Manning a few moves, we had to go back to see what he could actually offer. Turns out, he can offer Frankenstein, and . We’ll take it all.
This next guys deserves full post on his moves, but this will have to suffice. Von Miller bust out the Shmoney Dance after a safety in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Seahawks …

… but he has a long history of sack and safety celebrations. And it’s only right that we brought back some of our favorite, ranked (in my view) from best to worst.
