On Thursday, we were blessed with one of the most entertaining news stories in months, maybe years. Two llamas were on the loose in Sun City, Ariz., sending the city into a tailspin for nearly 30 minutes.
The story became the top news for most outlets, nearly broke the Internet and essentially divided the nation into Team Llama and Team Human. (For the record, I was and still am Team Llama. Don’t hate.)
The humans eventually won out, lassoing the two llamas and letting down the millions across the country who were hoping that their entire workday would be consumed by The Great Llama Chase.
But I refuse to let the Arizona lassoers (is that word?) ruin it for us. To keep the llama drama alive, I’ve combiled some of the best tweets from the sports world (What? I needed an excuse to post these. You can thank me later), as well as some can’t-miss llama memes and — AND — perhaps the greatest Vine ever created. Enjoy!

The Colts need a starting running back. The Llama is showing he’s got some speed. He can probably average more than 3.3 yards a carry?
