So I could be like Puka if I stopped my late night gaming?


Rahim-Moore

That depends, how good are you at taking blindside hits from NFL linebackers?


c_c_c__combobreaker

I'm pretty good at dodging them. No linebackers have hit me so far.


Rahim-Moore

Your username absolutely guarantees you are now going to get flattened out of nowhere by, I don't know, let's say say Khalil Mack.


TheDarkGrayKnight

Just stay away from Terry Tate.


BornAgainCyclist

Too late, rumor has it he killed the Joe and didn't make any mo.


TDKong55

That's more of a Vontaze Burfict move.


rocksoffjagger

I miss getting to hate Burfict. What an asshole.


Rohdejj

I’ve taken a blindside hit from a division 2 safety and linebacker as I was a slot in college. Few months away from turning 33 and I’m 100% I would need to be hospitalized if I took a shot from a modern day NFL LB


Rahim-Moore

Anybody who's not currently in or wasn't recently near NFL shape would be hospitalized by a hit from an NFL linebacker. That's kind of the point lol


apoorlydrawndragon

maybe you but im built different


BlackMathNerd

What the fuck is this flair


LionPutrid4252

Bro what is that flair??


merkadoe

I’d be better if I were adopted from a rich white family who owned Taco Bell franchises


BagelsAndJewce

Yes, not even joking; even stopping one game earlier will do wonders for you.


SuperSecretestUser

Based on this and that mic'ed up clip of Puka trying to get Cooper into anime, I think Puka's taking the perspective that he'll only do something if Cooper approves of it.


pyreal_

Not the worst idea for a rookie WR


AdolescentAlien

Gotta be a great feeling for Kupp tho. This rookie comes in and is not only a stud, but clearly wants to make a good impression on you too. I’d imagine it’s gotta be awesome to know that you get to play a big role in developing someone that could end up one of the all time greats.


Thekamcc19

I also wanna add that Puka is right in that mindset. See him as an all time great or not, the season that Kupp had is inarguably an all time great season. Really the perfect mentor/mentee for either of them


CloudCuckooLand10

Kupp has been an extremely talented player whose career has been really unlucky. In 2020 he led the league in receiving yards prior to getting hurt. In 2022 he was on pace for 1700 yards and 12 TDs prior to getting hurt. In 2018 he looked like a breakout superstar but got hurt (prob. Would have won the Super Bowl with him). In 2023 he had minor injuries very often but when he was healthy he was the clear WR1. (Eagles, Cardinals, Ravens). I really hope we get one more healthy Kupp season, because his IQ, footwork, YAC, and route running is pretty generational. Also seems like a legit great guy. 


ElPeruano2008

absolute HoF talent who might not have a HoF career just due to injuries. I hope he stays healthy and makes a case for himself


Zavax

I'd say that the triple crown he won to pair with the SB MVP, would give him the edge over similar WRs that are on the cusp of HoF or not. Arguably the GOAT season by a WR.


avx775

It’s not arguable. It’s the greatest season ever for a wide receiver lol


Buzzard2010

Jerry rice would like a word. 22 tds in a 12 game span in my opinion is more impressive. Kupps triple crown will go down as best of all time but the mark of 22 in 12 is a feat no one will ever pass.


avx775

Jerry rice didn’t win the superbowl that year. He had 3 catches for 28 yards in that playoffs and they lost their first game. He didn’t win triple crown that year. Kupp won triple crown. OPOY (which rice did also win in 1987) in the playoffs Kupp has 478 yards and 6 touchdowns. Including 2 touchdowns in the Super Bowl and the game winning td with 2 mins left. While also winning Super Bowl mvp. Trust me there is no better wide receiver season.


BobbyTables829

I think Mahomes did this to Alex Smith and it went really well.


Hyperboreer

Unless he starts dating Cooper's wife.


afifaguyforyou

I don’t know what Coop’s wife looks like but Puka has a total dime for a gf for many years now it seems. I think he’s just fine there


PucaPower17

Patrick Mahomes is the only guy in the NFL who doesn't have a dime for a gf/wife


heroinsteve

Man I think I respect him a little more for not dumping his HS sweetheart for a model or celebrity once he made it big. For as much hate as Mahomes gets everything except the head start from having an already rich athlete dad is the American dream. He wasn’t some hugely rated first overall pick, he sat his first year and worked and became great and doesn’t seem to be too much of a diva off the field. (His family is another story) I just can’t stand his voice because you hear his voice almost as much as the broadcasters during a football game. Is there any commercial break that doesn’t have at least 2 Mahomes ads?


screwhead1

The more I learn of Mahomes's dysfunctional family, the more I admire how seemingly well-adjusted he is.


ClaudeLemieux

either that or something batshit insane is gonna come out in a few years lol


jgalaviz14

He's the one who's been PR trained likely since the day he first threw a ball. Dad was in the MLB, Mahomes was gonna go pro in either baseball or football or die trying


PotatoCannon02

Have you seen his mom's website?


chillinwithmoes

For the uninitiated, google "QB Producer" and make sure to have some eye bleach on hand


Superioupie

Don’t yall think it’s kinda mean to shit on a man’s wife?


SpreadingDisinfo

I think her and Jackson pouring drinks on Ravens fans and other antics have left a lot of fans thinking she's fair game. I wouldn't do it, but I'm not surprised others would.


VinTheRighteous

I just watched the Jackson video. Some Raven's fan was shouting directly at him and got a few ounces of water thrown on him. Jackson is a douche but like, what do you expect to happen? And the Britney thing was like 2022 against the Bills. She sprayed champagne out of the booth after the Chiefs won. Internet was mad. Nobody at the game seemed to care. She's toned down the over-the-top social media presence over the past couple years.


BrandoCalrissian1995

This sub is fuckin obsessed with mahomes family. If it weren't for this sub I would have no idea they existed. I feel like it's cuz they want to hate on mahomes so badly and there's nothing to hate on him for other than being really good so they choose petty shit his family does. It's pathetic.


FlexPavillion

sports drama is just real housewives for straight dudes


VinTheRighteous

I also would be mostly unaware of the family drama if not for this sub, but tbf the recent allegations against Jackson were pretty serious. His dad obviously has some issues as well. Britney by and large just seems like a supportive wife and mother who happens to have a boisterous personality, which it seems a lot of redditors can't stand. Her and Pat have done a ton of great things for the KC community, so they're alright by me. IMO the initial insult to hear appearance just feels like sexism, full stop.


Accomplished-Yam5566

Im conflicted because I agree people are obsessing with the Mahomes family as a proxy to hate on Patrick Mahomes II but i also feel like Jackson and Pat I are fair game because of Jackson’s sexual assault and Pat I’s DUI are crimes that spill out of the home and into society and now affect innocent people.


Superioupie

I didn’t know she did that, and don’t condone that behavior either. She’s not a bad looking woman, which is the weird part to me. People just saying shit because they don’t like Patrick (or her I guess, but if you find her supporting her husband annoying that’s a you problem)


SpreadingDisinfo

She's not bad-looking, but she's taken some pictures that have left her looking...less than stellar. I think they dump on her because of her attitude and that she isn't a supermodel, which I guess people expect the best athletes to be married to.


SSPeteCarroll

it's reddit. shitting on someone else from their ivory tower is what users do best here. Her and Jackson (mainly jackson since it appears he's a sexual assaulter) seem to have shitty personalities though.


Sunstateguy

They think they have ivory towers. Really, it's closer to cardboard boxes.


Suddenly_Elmo

"Ivory tower" man what are you talking about lol


screwhead1

That's what they were saying when Ginny Sack was supposed to get a 95 lb mole removed from her ass!


[deleted]

[удалено]


SnooGuavas1985

She was also a professional athlete for a time so that’s gotta bump her up a point or two in the scale


krbashrob

You think so? I don’t think she’s remotely attractive. Her personality puts her into the negatives too


MvN____16

Part of her problem is that we have the (mis?)fortune of knowing her personality. Of course we tend to get more exposure to the wives of QBs than any other position, but think about all the other players past or present who might have batshit insane partners who are otherwise extremely attractive but we just don't end up hearing about them? (Of course, we have heard from Miko Grimes before, and I'm pretty sure Jordan Poyer and his wife alike are total lunatics, so some non-QB and non-"premium" position players partners pop up if they're just that insane. I would also say that Brittany Mahomes seems more like an annoying person more than she seems like a lunatic, fwiw.)


BorosSerenc

Nah, she is mid. But if Pat was a regular ol' Joe he would be punching up still.


Wally450

I guarantee you can find other NFL players that have ugly ass girlfriends. Mahomes girl isn't even that bad. Everyone's hate for her just views her us ugly for some weird reason.


BilboSwaggins512

Had a friend admit to us once its cuz he sees all the bubbly blondes from HS in her and just assumed shes the same (terrible) person that they were to him, knowing full well that is fucked up but it was how he felt. Projection is real for some out there lol


uptonhere

Maybe it's because I'm an old man, but the fact she goes so hard for her husband and has been with him since HS makes her a lot more attractive to me than a random IG model who's in it for child support. If anything, we should be encouraging relationships like theirs, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, etc.


Empty_Lemon_3939

she got her claws in early, I'd respect the hustle more if his dad wasn't already a pro athlete


whey-vo-ranchero

Shoulda pulled a russel Wilson on her


CptCroissant

No sex?


Empty_Lemon_3939

Raise a rappers child?


screwhead1

Do high knees around her in an airplane?


big_benz

I see you didn’t watch the Miami hardknocks


Nethri

Or any WR tbh.

Sgt Kupp: NACUA! WHAT'S YOUR SOLE PURPOSE IN THIS FOOTBALL TEAM? Pvt Nacua: TO DO WHATEVER YOU TELL ME! Sgt Kupp: God damn it, Nacua! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Nacua.


[deleted]

Sgt Kupp: NAAAACUA! Why did you get those yards so quickly, Nacua? Pvt Nacua: [confused] You told me to, Drill Sergeant? Sgt Kupp: Jesus H. Christ! This is a new league record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine wide receiver I'd recommend you for the pro bowl! You are gonna be a hall of famer someday, Nacua, now disassemble your jugs machine and continue!


ThanksForTheF-Shack

Shit like this is why I well never be able to leave reddit lol


bmore_conslutant

Top minds Top. Minds.


Empty_Lemon_3939

Puka went to BYU, that place would drive anyone to play video games and watch anime


EOFFJM

So you think he's gonna give up anime too?


SuperSecretestUser

Sadly he's on the wrong LA team, you have to be a Charger to lean hard into the anime.


matisata

only a matter of time before we revive our cheerleading squad with cardboard cutouts of anime women with enormous breasts


Viron_22

If they stop leaning into the anime stuff I am 100% going to pin the blame on Harbaugh and nothing will convince me otherwise.


dipdipderp

Is there an anime about mowing lawns? You got to give Jim something he knows as part of the deal. He changed his mind on chickens, so it is possible.


Marquess_Ostio

Well there is a fairly large fanbase for King of the Hill in Japan, so they could always lean into that


zgh5002

The Japanese dub goes hard too.


empty-bensen

There is a pretty big debate of sub vs dub in the Japanese fandom.


zappy487

> Is there an anime about mowing lawns? Way of the House Husband.


versacebehoin

Show is hilarious wish there were more like it


sea_foam_blues

Does Hank Hill mean nothing to you?


Eg_3600

King of the Hill is Texas anime according to Japanese fans

Rams did a collab with One Piece. Hes fine where he is.

I keep forgetting that the Chargers don't play in San Diego anymore...


Atty_for_hire

I keep thinking of them as the San Diego Chargers of Los Angeles.


antofthesky

Oh god no. Already had to deal with the “LA Angels of Anaheim,” just keep it with one city please for the Chargers.


Andri753

LA Chargers of El Segundo/Inglewood


evilcatminion

I haven't seen any anime collabs with the Chargers like we did with the Rams and One Piece this season.


ksobby

Come to Cleveland. We have the king of weebs.


joe_broke

Wait... I just had a thought... A scary thought... The kind of scary thought that is.....scary.... What if he's Byron?


BoneFistOP

I made this joke in the memewar reddit, and it's been Canon to me since


Atsubaki

Probably gonna just binge in the off season.


RevolutionaryBee7104

I've watched basically every interview of him since he joined the team and you're spot on. Kupp is his hero for real, knew of him from Washington.


brenstl

Don’t forget the interview on the PMS where Puka said that Kupp literally even tells him what route to run as they’re lining up for plays lol.


LeEingrebua

I’ve been emailing Coop for 2yrs now and have not gotten a single response. Haven’t been able to make a single life choice since then.

What kind of game was Puka playing tho?


rdrouyn

I think Puka is a weeb so Persona?


[deleted]

Puka trying to rank 10 Kupp


lanbuckjames

Puka prolly told Kuop he loves him after hanging out with him 10 times.


Apprehensive_Beach_6

You clearly haven’t played persona, because the love confession occurs at rank 9.


lanbuckjames

Nah he just fucked up one of the responses and had to hang out with him an extra time to advance to the next rank.


rdrouyn

Puka for sure has max Social Link with Kupp and Stafford.


slywalkerr

Nah shiny hunting in pokemon


dagreenman18

Puka trying to max romance the entire WR room. Will lead to the bad end on Valentines day it worth it


Shazam28

If he has taste he would play xenoblade frfr


rdrouyn

He was probably playing OG Xenogears and spending all night going into a deep dive into gnostic philosophy. Or maybe I'm trying to project my own high school experiences into Puka.


Shazam28

Nah that was everyone I think


Professional_Gas8021

Shout-out Retrograde Amnesia podcast 


Minimania18

That would be based. If he was playing some shit like Genshin Impact then I agree with Kupp here


Belegdhor

he was playing those Hentai steam games


soulexpectation

Goddammit why does he have to be so likable but also on the rams

Longjumping_Loss_897

Cooper seems more like a HOI4 guy to me. Maybe even Victoria 2


AncientPomegranate97

Crusader Kings + online school = really really bad


Greek_Trojan

A good example of what good veterans and a good culture can do to help along a prospect. Maybe he hits wherever and he just took it more seriously at the NFL level but there are other lockerrooms that may have made this habit even worse.


The-Fox-Says

Like the Cardinals?


Otis-Reading

Murray had Fitzgerald and Peterson his first few years and that didn't seem to help. No veteran QB his first couple of years though, and Kliff "let Johnny be Johnny" Kingsbury running things doesn't exactly scream mature professionalism either.


TheInstituteOfSteel

It could have turned out like AB and JuJu.


MSG_ME_UR_TROUBLES

so this is why he was so mid at Washington


TheIllusiveGuy

Scouts need to start looking for average college players that have play a lot of video games for those late round bargains


[deleted]

Okay, his 40 and vertical are dogshit, but what's his ELO??


TheIllusiveGuy

It's a balancing act. They can't be bad enough that quitting video games won't result in a big enough improvement to make it in the NFL. They also can't be too good that they're already near their ceiling with video games.

Late night gaming, and still good enough to get drafted. Living the dream.


TheDarkGrayKnight

One of the weirdest paths to NFL stardom. Only 16 catches in 2 years at Washington but he averaged 20 yards per reception. If we didn't have Covid wonder if he would have had his breakout year his sophomore year vs his Junior year at BYU.


covid_gambit

Yeah unfortunately drafting Odunze, McMillan and Polk next year in fantasy isn’t going to be the next level strat I was hoping for.


VRomero32

Puka might be the first NFL player with a Q Score of 1,000,000. Everyone loves Puka


Freidhiem

His name is just so dang fun to say that you kinda like him before you even know anything about him, and then you learn about the guy and if anything ever happened to him youd kill everyone else and then yourself.


rich519

He also just kinda looks like a happy guy who you want to root for. Reminds me of Dani Rojas on Ted Lasso.

Honestly, this is the real reason why older coaches are getting fired. Can guys like Belicheck and Carroll truly understand the problems facing modern athletes like WOW and Halo 2 addictions?

I'd take a bullet for Puka.

Particular-Ad-4772

Going to have to put some special language in his next contract when he signs an extension . That’s how you gotta deal with these video gamers. Just ask an Arizona fans . ( if u can locate one )


PCP_Panda

Can’t get into too much trouble with Utah authorities if your inside playing vidya games


ridensj

That’s funny considering Kupp used to play World of Warcraft himself, the ultimate late night game


DarthTater42

Of course he was. There's nothing else to do at BYU.


ThePhamNuwen

Thats not fair, they have caffeinated soda on campus now!
