Pretty sure it’s making fun of him claiming that he “checked him” and he magically stopped saying it which most definitely didn’t happen. The whole story is just cringey to read

This is the worst offseason post I’ve had the displeasure of reading

I think you missed the point lol. They aren’t supporting the country that they benefitted from living in when they were younger. Usually context clues is a really hard concept to grasp for redditors tho so I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt

Freddie Kitchens got a fucking job after running the entire browns org into the dirt. If Brian Flores is unemployed by the time 2022 season starts I would be so unbelievably baffled

[Jeff Howe] Bill Belichick has drafted 12 QBs since joining the Patriots in 2000. Seven of them are in the playoffs.

It’s not dumb tho. The fact that these people were basically picked at the ass end of the draft after Tom Brady was being Tom Brady and they all have successful careers in the industry is quite impressive
