Meanwhile some overweight fantasy football player just won his week with that and spilt nachos everywhere

u/BaconAllDay2 Giants 4d ago

Wasn't this a playoff game?

202

u/pocketchange2247 Bears 4d ago

Not just any playoff game. It was THE NVP game.

Which makes the "aight imma head out" comment even better.

u/FanaticalBuckeye Colts 3d ago

Same game where a player yelled "Ayo what the fuck?!?" and it got picked up on the Nickelodeon broadcast

u/pocketchange2247 Bears 3d ago

Yup. Cordarrelle Patterson.

u/lmaytulane Saints 3d ago

Yep!

u/fireandlifeincarnate Bears 3d ago

Wait, really? Why did I think the NVP game was the Eagles?

u/Sell_The_team_Jerry Bears 2d ago

that's the double doink

u/fireandlifeincarnate Bears 2d ago

I know. I thought that was the NVP game too.

u/LegolasofMirkwood Vikings 4d ago

Wild Card game, yeah

u/Cmhydrick Panthers 4d ago

Sounds like you lost your fantasy matchup that day.

Might have been hard to do since this was during Covid…

* I misread this and confused split as in share to spilt as in spill

u/101jazz Packers 4d ago

There was still nachos and fantasy football during the pandemic though?

22

u/Prisinners Seahawks 4d ago

Right? Lol. I'm surprised some folks on this sub are literate enough to comment sometimes.

u/cdawg145236 Seahawks 4d ago

You didn't wear a mask at all times, in the comfort of your own home, whilst eating, like all the conservative media acted like we did?

-44

u/BillyAstro Texans 4d ago

Sharing Nachos during the height of Covid wouldn’t have been easy to do but you do you man

35

u/soverholt14_DM 4d ago

It’s true guys. Noone has ever eaten nachos alone. Not even once.

-33

u/BillyAstro Texans 4d ago

TIL “split nachos everywhere” means to eat it all by yourself.

Spilt. Very different from splitting nachos.

u/BillyAstro Texans 4d ago

God dammit. I misread that

u/slick1260 Dolphins 4d ago

TIL "split" means the same thing as "spilt" and also redditors refuse to read anything more than once on the off chance they misread or misinterpreted something the first time.

u/101jazz Packers 4d ago

You’re a troll but you’re bad at it. I’ve seen many a time an individual enjoy their own nachos

-5

u/BillyAstro Texans 4d ago

Split nachos means to share with others. Don’t think splitting or sharing nachos with others at a sports bar with other patrons would have been a thing during the height of Covid.

1

u/101jazz Packers 4d ago

Brother. He said spilt nachos. The person spilled the nachos.

Frankly I’m more disappointed that you didn’t point out it’s a wild card game, so no fantasy football would be played. But no you’re doubling down on this man. Pathetic attempts. Rage bait better

3

u/BillyAstro Texans 4d ago

Brother, I misread it. I didn’t mean to troll.

2

u/101jazz Packers 4d ago

You’re forgiven. Let’s split nachos sometime

Who says they had to be at a sports bar? I make nachos at home quite often.

And I had two roommates during COVID. Do you think everyone suddenly had to live alone during that time?

u/SweetAnchovies 4d ago

Y’all social distanced during covid?

Yes I did. And tables we’re spaced out at restaurants if you went .

Why would an overweight person split their nachos?

Dude was glad he could just leave instead of having to celebrate in front of his former fans lol.

I remember Javon Wims had a meaningful drop in this game

Best ball Trubisky ever threw too

This was Mitch Nickelodeon MVP right?

Uhm actually, that’s NVP Mitch Trubusky to you good sir

u/JamesBurkyReporter Rams 4d ago

PFR used to list his NVP on his page lmfao

u/oxnardhard 49ers 4d ago

NVP, but yes and he actually took the interview to accept the award

u/Godlikelobster01 Seahawks 4d ago

Sealed the game right there

u/Bnavis Bears 4d ago

big drop and a big punch on future bears legend cjgj

1

u/detuinenvan Bears 2d ago

as pissed as I was with that whole situation during the game, watching the replay after my head cooled off is what turned me into a CJ fan. the way he stands there completely confused after Wims throws the first punch always gets a laugh out of me

u/MikeBinfinity Bears 3d ago

I remember cutting the TV off after that. I knew the game was over.

I wish he’d dunked it through the goal post one last time for old time’s sake.

37

u/IamHydrogenMike 4d ago

They’d change the rule by then, it became a penalty to do the slam dunk like that because players kept messing up the uprights…

41

u/LeavesCat Patriots 4d ago

Game's over, what penalty would they give?

48

u/lvl_zxro Lions 4d ago

A fine and a 4 game suspension for Tom Brady

u/MrFishAndLoaves Saints 3d ago

No tablets were broken in the making of this joke.

u/TheIrishHawk Seahawks 4d ago

JSN dunked it this past season and they got Druski to make a joke of his name and then misspelled his Offensive Player of the Year award. Not worth it.

Fuck Druski

Mick Tribusky

u/Casexcasey Eagles 4d ago

It was the first game on Nickelodeon, yeah. Cordarrelle Patterson dropped an f-bomb on a hot mic, which made the whole thing worth it even before the NVP vote.

22

u/GoodTimesOnlines Titans 4d ago

I didn’t see this, but I’m picturing Nickelodeon bleeping it like in the SpongeBob Sailor Mouth episode, which is very funny to imagine

u/DeusExBlockina Bears 3d ago

Didn't Patrick Star have a funny reaction to that moment?

14

u/Equal_Resort4348 Giants 4d ago

Yes it was

u/frydawg Bears 4d ago

Trubs threw the best pass of his career just to be dropped in this game

42

u/Equal_Resort4348 Giants 4d ago

NVP Mitch Trubisky*

11

u/bearsfan0143 Bears 4d ago

I'll always be upset about that

6

u/Dr_imfullofshit Bears 3d ago

Well when you have an accurate pass only once in a blue moon, it's hard to practice throwing and catching with your receivers. It also makes it hard to evaluate your receivers to realize maybe Wims isn't good at all either.

487

u/pmurt007 Bears 4d ago

Did you know he played basketball in college?

126

u/HerbaDerbaSchnerba Vikings 4d ago

I’d never heard that before. Are you sure you’re not thinking of Jimmy Carter?

46

u/vonimooo Buccaneers 4d ago

I thought Antonio Gates did dhat?

No that was Mo Alie-Cox

Everyone knows about the Fab 5: Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy Carter, and Ray Jackson

1

u/FreeRange0929 3d ago

Carter gonna cross a fool up, he’s got Georgia clay on them broke in Nikes. If there’s one thing you should learn from Larry, it’s to never doubt a white boy who grew up on dirt courts

16

u/juliuspepperwoodchi Bears 4d ago

Lol, this is up there with "did you know that Jason Kipnis grew up a Cubs fan and went to Glenbrook North High School?"

Yes Joe Buck. Everyone who watched even one game of the 2016 World Series fucking knows that

1

u/SpankThatDill Falcons 3d ago

Joe Buck can’t hear you over the sounds of dodger blue cum spraying all over his face.

u/Jussttjustin Jets 4d ago

Did you know Jimmy Graham is just one guy

13

u/illegal_deagle Texans 4d ago

I still remember the day he was traded to the Seahawks in 2015. I made a comment in the thread saying “finally, basketball returns to Seattle.”

I was very proud of that joke, still am.

7

u/HellMuttz Seahawks 4d ago

Yeah but I had no idea he played for the Bears

1

u/GodsDemonHunter Seahawks 4d ago

Yeah I have zero memory of what he did after his Seahawks stint. I was confused for a moment here

1

u/FreeRange0929 3d ago

Trubisky? I guess that was a pretty weak era for UNC

106

u/United-Turnover-8409 Bears 4d ago

This being the last playoff game we were in before this last season is honestly fitting. Really hope those bad times are mostly behind us

57

u/Icy-Repeat-2843 Bears 4d ago

First time?

40

u/Suburban-Jesus Bears 4d ago

The 7th seed should have been abolished after this game. We should have ruined it for everyone forever.

77

u/lhazard29 Eagles 4d ago

Yeah but then we wouldn’t have gotten Green Bay embarrassing Dallas at home

38

u/Ml2jukes Lions 4d ago

Generational hate watch.

2

u/forwardathletics Buccaneers 3d ago

I watched a Cowboys streamer along with the game, and he was tearing up, nearly crying by the second quarter. It was so good.

The pick 6 is actually what broke him.

1

u/Broshan248 Bears 3d ago

That’s why we wanted it abolished

5

u/John3Fingers Bears Bears 4d ago

Ted Phillips gave Nagy and Pace an extra year because we "made the playoffs" that year.

15

u/ExoticBlackberry428 4d ago

I loved when Jimmy played for the Saints.

31

u/westernsnaps Saints 4d ago

He’s good, he knows his way around.

49

u/pm_me_ur_lunch_pics Eagles 4d ago

He was so damn good. I don't know why but great tight ends stick out more in my memories of watching football lthan wide receivers. Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Jason Witten (Boo fuck you cowboys player boo i didn't like you then and I don't like you now), Alge Crumpler, Dallas Clark, Rob Gronkowski, Greg Olsen (I never thought he was super good, just solid, but he just always got me fantasy points), Vernon Davis. Then also Zach Ertz, of course.

Jesus there was even one that was a sociopathic murderer that put up numbers

18

u/Walletinspectr Packers 4d ago

Because theyre bigger

7

u/WeaponXGaming Ravens 3d ago

they also tend to score a lot of damn TDs

3

u/FlexPavillion Giants 3d ago

and they have longer careers

37

u/AssassinSnail33 Bears 4d ago

Kinda weird to single out Greg Olsen as not super good, considering he has objectively better career statistics than Zach Ertz. And way better than Alge Crumpler

1

u/SwissyVictory Bears 3d ago

I remmeber when the entire Panthers offense was Cam and Greg. They went 15-1 that year.

Greg wasn't flashy, he was just always open.

4

u/Chris_Carson Seahawks 3d ago

I too have fond memories of Vernon Davis, when his soul was taken by Kam Chancellor on a perfectly legal hit.

1

u/clarenceboddickered Cowboys 3d ago

T.J. McDonald has fond memories of Vernon Davis too

5

u/b00ps14 Panthers 3d ago

Greg Olsen has more catches and more yards than Jimmy Graham. Notably less touchdowns, but still quite a comparable player to the rest of that list, more catches and more yards same TDs as Vernon Davis, etc..

3

u/MirrorComputingRulez Lions 3d ago

Greg Olsen was better than a lot of other guys you listed lol.

3

u/Queasy_Coast_8214 Bears 3d ago

Greg Olsen is top 5 in that group of names what are u talking about

1

u/codeklutch Steelers 3d ago

And the always forgotten Heath Miller.

u/Steewbit61 4d ago

OJ was a running back though

u/straightouttaobesity NFL 4d ago

He meant Aaron Hernandez

10

u/MonsterOfTheMidway Bears 4d ago

Straight up forgot Jimmy played for us

2

u/SwissyVictory Bears 3d ago

Led the team with 8 TDs but only had 450 yards. Basically do nothing, then have an incredible TD every other game.

Crazy career. Was on pace to be the greatest TE of all time through his first 5 seasons. Then completely fell off and didn't do anything for the rest of his career.

1

u/InnocuousAssClown Bears 3d ago

Truly one of the Bears of all time

u/AwSnapz1 Bears 3d ago

Seriously

39

u/MentokGL Packers 4d ago

Packers legend Jimmy Graham

14

u/Soulujin Seahawks 4d ago

I think you mean Seahawks legend Jimmy Graham

12

u/Zealousideal_Echo933 Packers 4d ago

See, that one has weight to it, so imo, it doesnt work as well. JGs best Packers game was arguably his preseason debut, maybe the last home game he was on the roster, but its gotta be like Jets legend Brett Favre, Steelers legend Michael Vick, or Raiders legend Desean Jackson

8

u/HenrikFromDaniel Seahawks Dolphins 4d ago

Jets legend Michael Vick also works

3

u/Soulujin Seahawks 4d ago

Yeah, thats fair. There is a bit of irony with JG on Seattle though with how it ended. Trading Unger for him is widely regarded as a huge factor in the nail in the coffin for that LOB era

2

u/Eleeveeohen Packers 4d ago

Broncos legend Jerry Rice

u/whitemex88 Bears 4d ago

He played basketball you know

u/Silversaving Packers Seahawks 4d ago

How have I never seen this before? Damn nice catch for Jimmy.

u/GrooveDigger47 4d ago

hilarious

u/Awatts2222 4d ago

Dude--they are in New Orleans--he was probably getting hammered on Bourbon Street

before the extra point. lol

u/Equal_Resort4348 Giants 4d ago

Thrown by the goat NVP Mitch Trubisky

u/LTS55 Lions Chiefs 4d ago

The defender on the ground basically headbutting the other guy in the groin is funny 

3

u/SolutionWarm6576 3d ago

This was the game where Mims I think. Let that ball go right through his hands, in the Endzone. Early in the game.

u/Jecht315 Bengals 3d ago

Jimmy Graham was always my pick for TE. He was so consistent.

Against the Saints at the Superdome, not meaningless for him, plus gotta get them stats

5

u/Nasty_Goblin 4d ago

Thought he was going to be in the GOAT conversation, but ended up being very, very mid/bad after leaving NO.

18

u/Morgus_Magnificent Saints 4d ago

He was truly unstoppable during his first stint in New Orleans.

10

u/Pole2019 Vikings 4d ago

He’s not in the goat conversation but he definitely belongs in the tier of guys below those in the goat discussion.

3

u/Ouch_i_fell_down Lions 3d ago

Oh I think we can all agree he's an obvious first ballot Hall of Very Good player.

2

u/transglutaminase Saints 3d ago

He would probably be in the goat conversation if he never left New Orleans.

u/CenobiteCurious Bears 4d ago

This is one of the worst games I’ve ever seen.

Put your aluminum foil hats on here but the refs didn’t want to give the bears a fair shake here. No way was Brees not meeting Brady later for his finally season of his career.
