Kayvon Thibodeaux Gets Stuffed In A Locker By Joe Staley

Tough look for the rookie here. He's currently 0-for-2 on the "WHO ARE YOU BRO" slants, might be time to try something new. It'd be a little different if the two guys he's ruthlessly tried to own weren't future Hall of Famers with storied careers, but they are so he just looks like a big dork.

I'd venture a guess and say that most NFL fans know who Joe Staley is and his fame was earned due to his on-field accolades. Staley played 13 years in the league and made a nice living feasting on guys exactly like Thibodeaux, this is well-documented. Staley is just a six time Pro Bowler, three time second-team All Pro, All Decade caliber player we're talking about here. Not exactly someone to blow your nose at, especially after you underwhelmed in your rookie season after being taken 5th overall in last year's draft. 

There's a big difference in dishing out a "who are you?" to online trolls versus disrespecting dudes that have accomplished infinitely more than you at every level of football there is. 

Thibodeaux is officially a repeat offender after he was criticized by Jeff Saturday following his (hilarious) sack celebration against the Colts. Nick Foles was writhing in pain on the ground on death's doorstep right next to him but Kayvon was undeterred. I don't think it was on purpose but it was bad timing and interim Colts head coach Jeff Saturday didn't take very kindly to Thibodeaux's antics. Thibodeaux gave the "I don't know you" response:

I really do love the young, reckless energy from some of these guys. You do have to be a little smarter than this, though. You just can't really throw this out there when you've got one season and four sacks under your belt, it's bad optics all around and makes you look stupid. It's the easy way out to say "you're old I don't know you" whenever there's anything said about you by someone that was in the NFL prior to your arrival. It's an especially bold move talking down to guys that have had prolonged success in the league and played at a Super Bowl level like they don't know what they're talking about. 

Take a lap, Kayvon. Do some research before logging back on.

The Pete Weber Celebration Breakdown

Image
Originally written 10/31/19 Close your eyes and picture this, if you will. What's the single most memorable, prolific sports celebration that pops into your head? Any sport, any athlete, any era. What was it for you? Maybe it was Tiger Woods on the 16th hole, jarring a chip from off the back of the green in the final round of the 2005 Masters. Perhaps you’re envisioning Brandi Chastain celebrating shirtless after netting the penalty kick to win the 1999 World Cup. Or maybe it's Michael Jordan elevating over Craig Ehlo, hanging in the atmosphere for an immaculate split second, then draining the game winner and unloading several emphatic fist pumps. You can open your eyes now. I’m sorry to inform you that whatever you just pictured in your head is incorrect, and also stupid. The greatest sports celebration that ever was didn’t take place on a field, nor a pitch, nor a court. No, the greatest celebration ever went down on a bowling alley. It all unfolded and history was made on...

FFB Week 10: Twelve Takeaways

Image
WELCOME BACK.  Another Wednesday, Twelve more Takeaways from this past week's action.  Alright, that's enough small-talk. Let's ride.  1. We had ourselves a good, old-fashioned Thursday night Ja'Marr Chase points explosion. More like a pants explosion for people that started him, am I right?  Anyways, it was a night to remember for Ja'Marr Chase fantasy owners as he more or less won a good portion of the matchups he was a part of before they got started. The feeling of dread for folks that were going against him and didn't check the box score until the next morning is the stuff of fantasy nightmares.  Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns in the contest putting up 49.90 fantasy points in half-PPR leagues, a performance for the ages.  Somehow, the Bengals lost the game and fell to 4-6, BUT if you're a fan of bargain buys they're +130 to make the playoffs and Joe Burrow is in God-mode with two straight QB1 finishes.  After going nuclear t...

A Celebration Of The 2001 Creed Super Bowl Halftime Show

Image
A Frame by Frame Celebration of: "The Halftime Show" by Creed That's right, folks. We're taking it back to the year 2001 and Creed had just blessed the music community with their third studio album, Weathered.  This album was the springboard that catapulted them into the epicenter of the early 2000's rock storm alongside other juggernauts such as Nickelback, Staind, and Hoobastank. Naturally, they were a top choice for the NFL's Thanksgiving halftime show and to say they delivered would be a gross understatement. Let me give a little background before we start dissecting the footage. This particular halftime show took place on November 22nd, 2001 - roughly two months after 9/11 and two days after Weathered had been released. What better way to honor America and promote the new album than to turn the amps up to 11 and melt the collective faces of NFL fans across the country? As if Creed shredding wasn't metal enough, the accompanying acts propelled this i...
