the problem with Booger's analysis is that there have been plenty of pampered bitch boys that actually did very well in the NFL, and plenty that have sucked, same with poor bitch boys. no two players have more divergent backgrounds than Wilson and Jamarcus Russell yet both turned out to be lazy shitheads. methinks Booger didn't think this through clearly

I don’t think Booger thinks anything through clearly, but he does like to mash the gas pedal once his brain comes up with anything.

This doesnt track with me because everyone is different, though I'm not saying Booger's analysis was amazing or anything, but he didnt say "all pampered rich white kids" he just said "this particular one". Other rich kids not failing doesnt change the fact that Zach Wilson sure seems like a pampered rich kid that *is* failing.

The cause he ascribed was wealth so it’s perfectly fair to point out that that logic is weak.

A more professional way of saying someone is mega-shook and nobody knows why

The takeaway is this is heavily implied to be how it is going forward this year, ie Flacco's the guy if White gets hurt/Zach's staying third-string

If they had these concerns back in the spring I don't understand why they didn't bring in a better backup.

I guess they thought a competent #2 would exacerbate said yips.

Yeah barring an emergency situation the talk of it being mechanical and mental from Saleh and LaFleur would indicate that he’s being shut down for the year.

The best and most classic example of the yips is when catchers can’t toss the ball back to the pitcher. This happens a lot more than you might think!

I don’t think she came up with that, if I recall the twisties are a gymnastics specific thing where you lose your place mid air and is extremely dangerous.

It's so weird how much people hate Jackson Mahomes. As far as I know he hasn't done anything all season but hey I don't have Tik Tok so I don't really understand the hate.

All this to say that the rich dad that Patrick has is not the same dad that Jackson has and I'm not sure Mom Mahomes has money on her own. Anyway it's a bad example.

stuff I remember that was “controversial”:

- pouring water on ravens fans

- dancing on Sean Taylor’s memorial

- dumping on a restaurant on social media and the restaurant firing back saying it was just Jackson being entitled because they refused to accommodate his very large party

I dunno anything else about him tho.

Jackson is just an annoying kid who tried to trash a bar on social media. Other than that his biggest offense is being a normal TikTok idiot.

Brittany was pretty vocal and trashy including saying things like “why can’t I just do whatever I want and people leave me alone?” after spraying the crowd with champagne on a freezing night after a chiefs win. It seemed like very few people in that crowd cared but also very entitled in her part.

My favorite in joke was when Mahomes got concussed and she tweeted “I’m fine, we’re fine, Patrick’s fine” in that order.

But they’ve both been pretty non visible unless you count her being a part owner of the KC women’s soccer team and working to get them a stadium which seems like a good thing.
