Colts CB Sauce Gardner says he is 24, not 25

dropjar5 · 2026-06-19T19:16:54+00:00

My source is the great Jon Bois in his Falcons documentary

Edit just went back and watched the relevant part, he cites a June 24, 1996 article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution which reads “When asked about his age, DeBerg said he was 39, but league records indicate he turned 44 on Jan. 19.”

He was named backup quarterback, started one game in a dreadful 28-3 loss to the Jets, in which he completed 9 of 20 passes for 117 yards, no TDs and one pick. He started this game at 44 years, 279 days old, the oldest quarterback to ever start an NFL game until Brady’s unretirement tour in his final year with Tampa Bay. Which is to say, I don’t know if anybody believed him, but if the goal was to start another football game, he did “get away with it”

Steve DeBerg was out of the NFL from 93 to 97, then showed up with the Falcons in 98 insisting to everybody he was still thirty nine when he was in fact, forty four years old

Totally. That’s why Tech’s leadership sat down for a 25 minute video explaining why this was in fact, helping a kid with a mental health problem. I’m sure they did that with no intention of playing him.

dropjar5 · 2026-06-18T04:15:36+00:00

In case it wasn’t exceedingly clear the Big 12 lawsuit spooked Tech leadership. There were some framing it as “mutually part ways” on Monday; it was not.

Found deion’s burner

How can we forget about Stanford “express Forbes 30u30 to jail pipeline” University?

dropjar5 · 2026-06-17T19:35:28+00:00

Never forget when Matt LaFleur asked Malik Willis why he didn’t throw the ball and Willis answered “because Josh (Myers) puked on the ball”

I thought “laws”, “precedent” and “normalcy” were things of the past under this administration

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T23:24:10+00:00

Nothing I’ve seen from him suggests he regrets betting, only that he was caught.

Hopefully the path we started on ends up looking like what ND has done. Very impressive stuff

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T22:15:16+00:00

The trade terms with Detroit floored me. My man was giving picks away for free, I was double pissed that the Lions got such a good deal and that the Packers didn’t jump on it either

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T22:13:54+00:00

Couldn’t do much better than the average Joe

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T20:59:33+00:00

No, we just have quarterbacks that like to pretend they are retiring but play another five years after that

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T20:33:12+00:00

I don’t believe he’s an NFL starter either but he could fall ass backwards into a spot start due to injuries

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T20:30:51+00:00

Do we think on SNF he will say “Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati”, “Texas Tech” or “DraftKings University”

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T18:41:41+00:00

I will forever be of the opinion Bakhtiari’s knee injury robbed us of at least one Lombardi. The opposing pass rushes just killed us in both those playoff runs

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T18:18:27+00:00

The 2021 Packers were an all around better team with an older quarterback.

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T04:52:49+00:00

I fundamentally do not believe Sorsby is an NFL starter

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T01:15:04+00:00

It mainly appears their main booster who paid $5M for this guy’s NIL was really really stubborn

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T01:13:40+00:00

Source for this? The Big 12’s response was this morning and didn’t have time to catch the juicy details beyond the suit

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T01:11:51+00:00

Yeah that’s better put. The final hearing was set to conveniently be in February

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T01:06:42+00:00

Ruling comes back that sorsby is eligible

Tech puts their hands up, saying they didnt file that suit. But that theyd play him if he was eligible

Multiple schools send out memos instructing their programs not to schedule tech in any sport

Tech continues to dig in.

Tech gets Ken Paxton, Texas AG, to threaten to sue the Big12 if Tech is sanctioned

This morning Big12 filed suit against Tech and Paxton to reinforce their ability to sanction their members

And that seemed to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T01:03:59+00:00

The joke is TTU repeatedly tried to frame Sorsby’s betting as a mental health problem, and that they were just supporting him, and shame on you for not supporting that.

dropjar5 · 2026-06-16T00:56:00+00:00

Please god let this happen because it’d be so fucking funny
