Tua Tagovailoa Is Sporting A New Tribal Sleeve Tattoo Which Guarantees He Will Not Get Injured This Season

This is a VERY important training camp development. People might not give this much attention but this is bigger than you may think and will have a lasting effect on the 2023 season. Tua Tagovailoa got a tattoo.

Make no mistake, it's not a "dumb" tattoo. In my experience, a tattoo should have meaning so you can explain it without looking like a big dummy. Plus, if you just go into the tattoo parlor and mindlessly point to the wall for a design, there's a chance you might regret it someday. There are some folks are out there actually voluntarily getting barbed wire or tribal tats. That's fine, it's always your body/your choice, but know that tribals are generally off limits to those that are not at all part of an actual tribe. 
Tua was born in Hawaii and is of Samoan descent, so he got a massive, full-sleeve tribal tattoo on his right arm that represents his heritage and its traditions. This is all I need to see to know that Tua's offseason training is going to pay off and he'll take the next step this upcoming season. Mark it down now: Tua is injury-free in 2023 thanks to the power granted to him when he got this, and second-year head coach Mike McDaniel wins Coach of the Year. I'd like to believe he spent all summer learning how to fall down better and getting this masterpiece on his arm, so we've got nothing to worry about. Whatever injury history you think he had can now be put to rest because the full sleeve acts as a protective aura of sorts. 

If you've ever seen "Moana", you know that a tattoo like this is not just culturally significant, it also looks sick. It can "represent community, power, respect, honor, and is a mark of pride". Don't get one if you're not Samoan, it's mega disrespectful and you'll look like a dipshit. 

Overall, what we're seeing is a leveled-up Tua entering 2023, finally achieving his true form. I expect him to come into his fourth season at Super Saiyan levels of focus and health, thanks in part to his new ink. I had Tua as my QB14 before I knew he was getting this tattoo, but this changes things. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal, newly-inked Tua is comfortably a Top-6/7 QB in 2023 - I'll bravely go on the record saying that. Health will no longer be an issue for Tua and those days of uncertainty are behind him.

Jeff Goodman Is A Loser

I've been at war with the national media for almost 7 years. It's not a big deal, but I've been fighting the good fight ever since "Schiano Sunday" in late 2017 when my eyes were opened to the shit that happens when media members "befriend" coaches and athletic directors. It's a dangerous game and there's a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to make sure stories break the way that people want them to.  Whenever you're reading anything that's written by these select few, just know that they're very sensitive, fragile individuals. Jeff Goodman, Pat Forde, Dan Wolken, Dennis Dodd... they're all hyper-sensitive and soft. If a coach/AD is friendly and makes these dorks feel important, then they generally act nicer and will even volunteer to carry their water. If a coach/AD is mean to them in a presser or ignores calls and doesn't scratch their belly, then they tend to become very fussy and resort to hit pieces. This is the way t

Come on into the Fantasy Football Boys lounge where we talk fantasy football. Welcome! Fancy a beer while you wait? Cocktail? Ok, cool, what'll it be? Ice cold Schlitz? Nice choice, I can tell you're a real diplomat. Get comfortable in one of our fine leather chairs, we're gonna be here a while. Oh, you're ready to talk shop? You wanna talk fantasy football? Perfect, me too.  1. It is officially Threat Level Midnight for Patrick Mahomes . On Sunday, he was bad. 21/33 for 210 yards, 1 touchdown, and an interception. Again, chalk it up to the lack of a standout receiver or injuries on the offensive line, but it's been a grind if you're starting Mahomes, no other way to put it. Dare I say something I never thought I'd say: He's become a liability if you're a playoff contender. It was yet another miserable fantasy output, and he's now put up <20 fantasy points in 7 of his last 9 games. The concern level is at an all-time high and fantasy owners ar

FFB WEEK 14 - PLAYOFF EDITION: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

It's the playoffs, baby.    1. Justin Jefferson's fantasy corpse was reanimated this week for some excellent fantasy production .  Oops! He got injured again and there were 3 total points scored all game. If ever there was a game that embodied a fart noise, it was this one. It wasn't exactly the explosive return we'd all hoped for as Jefferson may or may not have had internal bleeding after a hit in the first half. It was a mighty gut-punch for fantasy owners that thought they were getting a healthy Jefferson back after 8 weeks on the shelf just for him to leave early again and go to the hospital. The guy can't catch a break and the presumed WR1 heading into the season is now just WR46 thanks to some shit luck with injuries. What a ripoff for the fantasy owners that drafted him, I hope they're doing okay.  2. Bench Patrick Mahomes . I've seen enough. The Chiefs are a mess and for the first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes seems stressed. I've never se
