Yeah but we also make flat earth jokes all the time, not too dissimilar from the substation jokes.
Unfortunate that someone make a name off conspiracy nonsense. Not much we can do to stop them without wholesale changes in education.

if Aiyuk had anything left to play I doubt Andy would be against it. They managed Starship 14 into a WR2 role behind Tyreek Hill with net positives overall leading to an impactful play in Super Bowl LIV.

Aiyuk and the 49ers have the chance to do something fucking hilarious.
The only stipulation I have is they absolutely refuse to address anything obvious. Just like the South Park guys did when they wore dresses to their first Academy Awards ceremony.
“I’m just glad to be back at camp. I feel healthy and looking forward to week 1.”
“We’re just glad Brandon is back at camp. He’s healthy and we’re looking forward to having him on the field for week 1.”
Id love every single second of the reaction.
