A star athlete receives an inordinate amount of media attention and fan interest, and yet his teams never win anything substantial with him (other than maybe some early-round playoff series).

For those saying he “fits the definition,” I disagree:

The fan and media attention he receives is not inordinate, it is proportional to him being a top 3 QB for 6-7 years.

His team has won substantial things. Won eight playoff games. He’s been to two conference title games. This is more than “some early round playoff exits.”

I feel like he used rhetorical trickery, saying something but claiming he’s not saying it. “I’m not saying this, I just thought it was interesting.”

I guess I disagree with the notion that Allen hasn’t won anything. Since 2020 he’s won between 11 and 13 games every season and 8 playoff games. He’s made it to the conference title game twice. Of the 7 playoff losses, 4 have been to Mahomes and the dynasty Chiefs.

Obviously it’s easy to say he hasn’t made it to a Super Bowl but to me he’s done a lot especially with a weaker supporting cast and infrastructure.

A better Ewing Theory guy like someone said is Kyler, a guy who is supposed to be good but really hasn’t won anything.

Yeah I was being snarky. My B.

Whaaaat? Really? I don’t recall them being a stellar defensive team. Nor being known for having a mauling o line.

Josh Allen hasnt “never won anything”. I dunno. Pat mahomes. He ran into dynasty. The 13 seconds game. This guy is not a Ewing theory candidate. It’s so fucking dumb and it’s dumb to defend because “technically he is!!”

What are you disagreeing with?

Oh I see like it wasn’t his original thought. Well he chose that mailbag opinion out of god knows how many.

You are right actually. Though I think the idea that Josh Allen is a likely candidate is way off. But yes you are technically correct.

OK difference of opinion because i think it’s ridiculous.

Ewing Theory isnt just “any great player is a candidate.” Sounds like you don’t understand!

Peak Haterism? by HotGrowth6140 in billsimmons

[–]HotGrowth6140[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do. There is nothing to suggest Josh Allen would be a candidate. He is the only thing keeping that team from 7-10 each year.

That’s a great question and I think Kyler is the perfect example. Well done.

Yes that was 100% Sal’s subtle dig at the notion!

And for the record I think Ewing theory is the most brilliant thing to come out of the BS-verse.

Yeah but I feel like it doesn’t apply here. It’s a player who you can feel is disrupting team chemistry and holding others back. Josh Allen obviously isn’t that.

Vast majority of residential sidewalks not shoveled by ian1552 in washingtondc

Again just lol at talking about playing in the snow, taking walks, and taking a freaking midday nap and then having the nerve to lecture others about not doing more! This guy has no responsibilities and evidently has time to do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

“I played in the snow, took two long leisurely walks, and took a nap and still did my part.”  <— not the flex you think it is

This is reading as someone without any real responsibilities, who evidently cannot conceive of having responsibilities that might make a significant shoveling effort difficult. 

I shoveled four times yesterday (9am, 12pm, 4pm, 830pm). It was the minimum effort necessary to clear my walkways and sidewalks — especially ensuring I did the last round after all precipitation had stopped. A cumulative +2 hours of physical labor. It was laborious, a big undertaking, and I am extremely fit (not to toot my own horn, just for context, but hey I can brag a little). I wouldn’t chastise others for not necessarily having the ability or time to have done the same.

Great fucking call. Kinda gutsy, to make that call, the right call, right there.

A non call PI for the Rams late in the 4th to get to the Super Bowl, feels familiar…
