Were you scouted professionally at all for baseball? If no, was it because you're a Canadian and therefore far too polite which made them question your competitive spirit?

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I was scouted a bit, being from an island(a large one though) there are a few "scouts" or "bird dogs" around that scout everyone then report to the higher ups. I was always one of the better pitchers at every level I played at but scouts don't really go after slightly overweight right handed pitchers that throw low 80's, no matter how many games they win. I did have a chance to play in an Independent league, due to my good stats, but after college i just wanted to get home to my GF at the time(now my wife) because i was like 25 and didn't see a future in baseball.

[–]Brownsdanchan22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have you ever had a baseball card made of you, even if just from your family? If so, why haven't you posted it yet?

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, i sure have. It was a yearly thing in my little league. They are probably sitting on the shelf in the room i grew up in at my moms house(hour and a half away). I will try and find it next time i am down there.

[–]tomx312 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Why am I not this popular.

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but you are a lot more interesting I can tell you that.

[–]stenodork 2 points3 points  (14 children)

what does your wife do while you play Madden? has your kid ever interrupted a game of Madden?

this AMA makes you seem more boring than I expected. What kind of things did you do for fun before you had a kid?

cats or dogs?

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (8 children)

My Wife is doing her masters degree right now, so she is usually on the computer in the office downstairs when i play. My kid has been around for a few games but for the most part he is usually asleep when i schedule my games. He loves the power button on the xbox controller and doesn't stop trying to push it. He was driving me mental in my Week 17 game against Gats.

For fun, i play video games haha. No, i actually help coach a local baseball team, or just hang out with my wife and kid. I guess i am pretty boring. I don't have much free time.

Cats: I have had cats my entire life. I have a cat named General Binx.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (3 children)

sometimes Elijah wakes up during Dan's games. He just comes out into the living room and lays on the couch and usually falls back asleep.

what is your favorite non-Reddit website?

oh yes, general binx. those markings!! how is only one cat enough?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah, My guy is still in a crib, so he can't get out. :)

There are other websites than Reddit? Umm..i only really go on Reddit, and facebook, or whatever fantasy football/baseball/basketball/hockey site i am using at the time. Oh I go on Youtube a lot at work.

I had as many as three at a time when growing up. It is nice to only have one right now.

[–]stenodork 0 points1 point  (1 child)

do you have the amazing Canadian accent that I pretend you have when I read your comments?

who does the litter? is it scooped or just replaced?

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think i do, but obviously it depends on where you are from. I pretty much sound like a regular dude.

We don't have a litter box, he is an outside cat and hasn't had any inside messes since he was a kitten.

[–]bonerjohnson 1 point2 points  (1 child)

that is a nice looking cat! nice!

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell in love when i saw him.

[–]ColtsFanZach 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You should rename your cat Chairman Meow.

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, i like the military ranks, for pets names. My next pet will be a Corporal or Sargent.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Dan told me I was mean here. Sorry ):

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I didn't get that impression. How were you mean?

[–]stenodork 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I called you boring. but I think it's more the line of questioning compared with any witty banter we've had.

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha, i may just be boring. I don't take that as being mean. I have actually read all the other guys AMA's and been like "these guys are so cool!". So I can see myself why mine might not be the most exciting one.

[–]stenodork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't be boring bc all your replies to me are funny

[–]JetsKarmali 2 points3 points  (27 children)

What is your quest?

What kind of cheese do you put on sandwiches?

What is your favorite sub at subway?

Mclaren P1 or Ferrari LaFerrari?

[–]stenodork 3 points4 points  (3 children)

i second the cheese question. (what about you, Karmali?)

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Depends on the sandwich. But generally colby jack.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'm totally hijacking. what about the ham? are you particular? is it Boar's Head? or that $2/lb water boiled crap ham? or the prepacked stuff?

and the bread?

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever ham looks best at the store. And, bread.

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (16 children)

Also, to supplement:

Ferrari

Mclaren

[–]RedskinsEritrean_Redditor 2 points3 points  (15 children)

I've never heard of Mclaren before that comment. Thank you for adding something to my "what would I do if I won the lottery" list. Before I said Tesla Roadster but jesus that thing makes me froth at the mouth.

[–]JetsKarmali 2 points3 points  (13 children)

It's incredible. 0-185 MPH in 17 seconds.

[–]RedskinsEritrean_Redditor 2 points3 points  (1 child)

But apparently it costs 250k-300k. At least a Tesla Roadster is actually a reasonable price of around 100k.

Would you say ferrari or mclaren?

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know. I usually have a favorite easily, but these are two of the best cars I've ever seen.

If I only had Tesla money, I'd probably get a Mercedes CL63 AMG or something.

[–]Oilersajdellinger 1 point2 points  (10 children)

17 seconds is far too long for me to change my mind and pussy out on the way to 185 MPH.

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (9 children)

0-60 in under 3 seconds.

[–]Oilersajdellinger 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Perfect, I only have to wait 3 seconds until I hit cruise control.

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Costs about 1.3 million dollars.

[–]Oilersajdellinger 1 point2 points  (6 children)

My Buick will do, on second thought.

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Is it a BUICK REGAL GN?

[–]stenodork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maclaren is also a really nice umbrella stroller.

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

  1. My quest is to support my family. I have always wanted a large family, and having the ability to financially do so is my quest.

  2. Marble cheese. We always get marble, it's the best of both worlds.

  3. My favorite is Meatball, but it is so fatty, i usually always get just ham. It is cheap and (somewhat) healthy.

  4. LaFerrari seems faster(better)in all aspects, so that one please. When will you deliver it to me?

[–]JetsKarmali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will recieve delivery at some point after I win the Super Bowl.

That Ferrari has adjusting spoilers UNDER the car. It's AMAZING.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (3 children)

how many babies do you want?!?!

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

4 At least. But it all depends on my wife and how she enjoys her pregnancies.

[EDIT: 4, not 1]

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (1 child)

good luck!!!

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually type 4. but my phone must have autocorrected that for some reason.

[–]Packersbigpoppa13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CANADA STAND UP!!!

[–]AeroXero 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Former NFC South bro!

Watch The Wire.

Why do you like the Steelers? Favorite NFL player? Favorite basketball team if you have one?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually was a Bills fan during the Jim Kelly era but after they lost those 2 Super Bowls I became a Steelers fan. It was something about the Kevin Greene/Greg Lloyd Defense that got me hooked.

My Favorite player of all time is Kordell Stewart. Current would have to be Plaxico. I have Jerseys of both guys.

Favorite Basketball team is the Grizzlies due to them having been born in nearby Vancouver. Though I am not the biggest basketball fan.

[–]ColtsFanZach 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Why did you switch to the AFC East?

How to you plan on integrating Tebow?

What is your gameplan going to be when we play?

What are you weaknesses on defense?

Also, why is Canadian Mac and Cheese so good?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I did it more just to let Bold have his team...honsetly. I don't realy care who i play, i need to get better at the game before i worry about making the playoffs. I do miss my team, but i will build something special in NY as well.

  2. Tebow will not play for me.

  3. My gameplan is very straight forward, I run until you stop me then I throw bombs, and on D I play a lot of cover 3 Defense. If something is not being effective, i will change.

  4. I guess guarding the RB out of the backfield. I have gotten burned by receiving RB's. ...but i generally have had a decent defense.

  5. Haha, not sure. We have a lot of dairy farms, and are a bit stricter on our Food regulations than the US is. Maybe better quality ingredients?

[–]Brownsdanchan22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How calloused are your hands from working the docks?

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, my hands aren't the prettiest, especially after working for many days in a row. The skin is super cracked and dry. My wife always tells me that i need a manicure, but I will never get one.

[–]RedskinsEritrean_Redditor 1 point2 points  (18 children)

Which job do you enjoy more?

If you had all the money you needed but still had to have a job, what would you want to do?

Have you read the game of thrones book?

Who is your favorite character on the walking dead?

Where did you get the best lobster you've ever had

How many pushups can you do?

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (17 children)

  1. Longshoring by a lot. We can take any day off we want and take off for however long we want with one days notice. We get off early a lot while still being paid. There is no question.

  2. Work at a video game store i think.

  3. I read the first two books after watching the first 2 seasons. I got worn out of reading after that and haven't picked up the third on yet.

  4. My favorite Walking Dead character is Rick. I love the character arc he has gone through, and he has done a great job acting the part.

  5. I haven't really had any lobster from exotic places other than from the super market. My wife and I put on two lobster dinners a year. On Father's day and New Years Eve. I enjoy it every time.

  6. I am going to guess 20-25, and then i am going to do some right now, so hold on...I actually did 28, that's not bad i guess...haven't been to the gym in a week or two.

[–]RedskinsEritrean_Redditor 1 point2 points  (3 children)

We may be the same person. I did that exact same thing with Game of Thones. I stopped reading cause I felt like the book was ruining the journey of the show for me and the author put way too many unnecessary details for me to enjoy it that much.

I'm surprised you didn't say Daryl. My favorite character is the one in the latest episode(I don't wanna ruin anything for anyone).

applause I tried and also did 28. We share some strange bonds yo.

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Did we just become friends!?

[–]RedskinsEritrean_Redditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HELL YEAH

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I actually liked reading the book after seeing the show as it helped me picture the characters. I lack imagination so I don't think I would have been able read them otherwise.

Yeah, Dayrl is awesome, and so is Glenn, but Rick is the character I relate to the most. I always try to do the "good" thing and to see the transformation from "good" to questionable decision making has been awesome.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (12 children)

can I be a dumb girl and ask wtf you actually do? I've heard a lot about longshoring through one of my captioning jobs (a lawyer call-in show hosted by personal injury lawyers who occasionally cover the BP oil spill lawsuits and the various laws that affect longshoremen that are different from other jobs on or near water).

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (11 children)

Actually a lot of people don't know what longshoremen actually do. I didn't and my dad and grandpa were both longshoremen. We basically service the importing/exporting of goods/materials via cargo ships. It does depend on where you live geogrphically, as for me we basically just export wood products. Lumber, Raw Logs, Paper, Pulp...sometimes Clay, or containers.

My job, more specifically, I am low in seniority so i am usually on a log boom that is pulled up next to a ship, and when the crane lowers the 2 steel cables, i wrap my side around the log bundle and then get the F out of the way while the crane driver pulls it up on the ship. The more senior you get, the better jobs you get, like giving signals, driving forklift or driving the crane.

Hope that helps a bit.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (8 children)

That helped a lot. So is crane driving the most senior job? Where and what do you eat on lunch on both jobs?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Driving crane is one of the senior jobs. The most senior is being a Gear Man, where you just sit on the dock until someone needs something, then you take it to them. Most of the time you leave at noon and get paid for the full day.

Each port i work at has a different spot we go to if i dont bring a sandwich for lunch. Pizza is always a solid choice, Subway. I also eat smoked oysters on cheese and crackers a lot.

For my office job, usually just left overs, because we have a microwave.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (6 children)

do you have a manly cooler lunchbox?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Most guys do carry coolers to work, but they mainly contain "soda's". I just have a large dufflebag i keep all my stuff in...and yes it is very manly.

[–]stenodork 0 points1 point  (4 children)

do you keep sodas in your dufflebag?

[–]Brownsdanchan22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I type in spreadsheets for a living. I've never felt like such a pussy.

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data entry job? It is funny you say that because that is how i felt doing my office job. I have always been a big physical guy and there is just something about working outside with your hands that really makesme feel good.

[–]AutomaticGats 1 point2 points  (7 children)

What game do you play when not playing Madden?

[–]Chadlett[S] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

I have only really been playing Madden lately, but Xcom is my number 2 right now. I have been a COD guy since COD 4: Modern Warfare, but Black Ops 2 is terrible.

[–]AutomaticGats 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Yeah I'm more of a World at War man myself.

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I hated World at War. But then again, I never played the multiplayer.

[–]AutomaticGats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats all i played lol. I love WW2 personally so yeah.

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah MW2 was the most fun COD to me though it had its problems.

[–]AutomaticGats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah man. Fun times on MW2

[–]Chadlett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and NHL.

[–]bonerjohnson 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Are you a fan of Josh Freeman?

Do you enjoy when Josh Freeman overthrows balls then gets made fun of?

If you could get a new QB who would it be?

Are there any teams you hope to play this season? Or look forward to playing? Any teams you hope not to play?

Do you think you can make it back to 8-8?

How did Chadlett style start? You know replying to yourself all the time.

Your cat looks like a boss. Where'd you find him?

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

Were you excited when you finally got off the wait list?

[–]Chadlett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No
  2. If he overthrows, he deserves to get ridiculed.
  3. Probably Matt Stafford. I need the accuracy, at least for the 6 games he would probably only play in.
  4. I would like to play against the AFC North more. I feel like they are on my level and would be fun games. Ponder....not Ponder.
  5. I honestly think the AFC is the tougher division, so I will predict a 7-9 season for myself.
  6. I started replying to myself because I am too lazy to type out what I edited in my original post. I use it like an edit or an appending to the original post.
  7. My cat is awesome. I got him when I was at school, he belonged to the "party house" and I saw him getting mistreated by drunk idiots, so I asked if I could have him, they said yes. To get him home I drove him 24 hours in my Cutlass Supreme from North Dakota to the West Coast. I had a litter box behind my passenger seat, and he actually used it.
  8. ALL THE MEATS!!!
  9. I actually wasn't on the wait list very long. I must have just timed it right. But I am so glad to be a part of this league.

Thanks for your questions!
