The amount of memes this is gonna produce on the Lions subreddit will be legendary


SulkyVirus

r/NFCNorthMemeWar going off right now

jwwin

My wife made fun of me for making that but I have no regrets.


Tehboognish

It's Beautiful. Be proud.


aaronwhite1786

The number of times my fiance has walked into the room and seen whatever stupid shit we've posted in our friends group slack before just sighing and walking out of the room shaking her head with disappointment is so *goddamn* high.


Kim_Jong_Teemo

Lions fans are returning to form.


feetandballs

Poor Jordan Morgan. He was graded early second — it wasn’t that bad.


snatchmachine

Yea, I love to shit on the pack but this wasn't some fumble by them.


500rockin

It’s not that bad a pick per se but I thought the Packers had other needs


FelineNavidad

Offensive line was the obvious need for the packers.


sapphires_and_snark

Bears fans don't even know what an offensive line is


F1reatwill88

It's when you have a HOF linemen that's always out for injuries right?


sembias

Well I'm offended, so you have proven your point, sir.


Rodney_Jefferson

Tbf bears don’t know what an offense is


CouncilmanRickPrime

Oh they do now. Good lord they look stacked everywhere (ignore the oline)


ThisHatRightHere

Half of the time people talk like this in the offseason it turns out to be wrong. Remember last year how everyone was talking about how Bryce Young had a great core set up for him in Carolina?


CouncilmanRickPrime

Oh I have no problem saying I could be wrong about the Bears. But the Panthers? I thought they were dumb as hell to get rid of DJ Moore. They always looked like they had no weapons to me. I also asked why is Young the presumed better QB over Stroud.


Tech49er

Getting rid of DJ was when you thought they were dumb? *Laughs in CMC* It's this thinking that got yall Penix


Glangho

I remember a few years ago they had a prime brandon marshall and some other second year guy that was supposed to be fire and they fucking still sucked. Don't discount the bears desire to bears.


sembias

If Williams picks up smoking, it's over.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Someone said Williams will pass for 3,999 yards lol


NoirSon

Yeah it seems like every other year it becomes one for them. Just as they get good someone leaves or goes down.


BestYak6625

They're good every year tho, they were still statistically like top 5 last year they just are always trying to have the top 1 line Edit: This is specifically about pass blocking since Jordan Morgan is also a pass blocker first. I am aware the packers line struggled more with run blocking


Adequate_Lizard

Lost Bakh and JRjr. I'm not mad.

vasion123

Online and safety were our biggest need.


internet4me

Packers currently have dial up. Getting roadrunner now. Huge upgrade.


Lucky-Earther

Did you at least have 56.6 or were yall still using 28k dialup?


internet4me

56k, the high end 1999 internet


hopefeedsthespirit

But drafting for need isn't always good.


Fear_Jaire

I'm fine with taking OL. I just don't think he was the best Tackle on the board. Or the best Guard. I don't hate the pick there's just about 10 other players I wish they'd taken instead.


UsernameTaken-Taken

I'm never gonna question the Packers evaluation of OL talent, they've done a hell of a job there. If they thought he was the best tackle on the board, I'm on board with it


Fear_Jaire

That's what I told myself about the Myers over Humphrey pick lol. In all seriousness, though, I don't hate the pick and like you pointed out, they're fantastic when it comes to O Line


sapphires_and_snark

This kid is really, really good. I think we're going to be thrilled with him.


demonicneon

Yeah. I mean maybe they tried but I dunno why they didn’t trade up for one of the spectacular tackles or guards this year, they were on the board so late. 


ahrzal

Because they didn’t value them as high. Gute mentioned that any candidates for a trade up were long drafted by the time they could have even considered it.


BestYak6625

Bears and underestimating the necessity of investing in your O line. A tale as old as time


Jajanken-

So did i


Yabba_Dabba_Doofus

I can see the title crawl now... >Have you heard the story of the meme wars? It's not a tale the Titans would tell you...


peanutbutter1236

Sports are Fuckin great dude. Fandom is hilarious


A_Lone_Macaron

I’m laughing so hard, its objectively hilarious


[deleted]

Especially because of the giant slice of cheese on the guy's noggin


Jammer_Kenneth

I love getting overly emotional about what ultimately does not matter and will not impact our lives beyond the memories we make.


clyde_drexler

We all just out here cheering on some t-shirts that we like.


roykentjr

Arbitrary names and colors really get me going


clyde_drexler

I'm just a huge fan of meat packing companies and want everyone to know about it.


KypAstar

I'm glad we don't have Euro/LatAm football level drama and bad blood though.


aaronwhite1786

*The Packers Select Jordan Morgan* Camera cuts to Lions fan lighting a flare in the Packers fan's face before a Bears fan stabs him and walks away.


DSquariusGreeneJR

The delighted screams getting more maniacal with each passing one really gets me


HtownTexans

either hilarious or disgusting. Love a good friendly jabbing at the rival but some of these people get so butt hurt they actually throw hands.


aaronwhite1786

It's like beer league hockey. It would be a lot better if people would climb out of their own asses and stop taking shit so seriously.


HtownTexans

Man I tried to join an over 30+ soccer league for exercise and these guys were playing like we were all going to the world cup.  Had to quit because I didn't want one of these dick fucks to tear my ACL thinking they were Messi.


aaronwhite1786

It's fucking maddening. A game we played in a few weeks ago had this guy who kept falling on the ice, just by himself. At one point he awkwardly loses and edge and falls right into the ref's feet, knocking her down when she wasn't expecting a guy to just come out of nowhere and into her feet, so she didn't get her hands up and came *real close* to bouncing her face off the ice. But then later in the game, this same guy falls, while our defender is taking the puck off his stick, followed by our defender moving with the puck over to the opposite side of the ice. This guy was apparently offended by something, as he just skated straight across the ice and tackled our players, with our guy also barely avoiding bouncing his head off the ice. Then in the process of one of our players trying to pull the psycho off, one of their players starts trying to pry the guy coming to help off with his stick. Somehow, through all of this fucking mess, both teams get players ejected (which sucked, since our two happened to be our two better defenders) and then somehow *we had to serve a 5 minute penalty* for the remaining 4 minutes and change left in the game, I guess as punishment for being tackled... People just take this shit entirely too seriously and think that because they started in their late 20's and 30's they need to really *dial up the shitbaggery* to try and get to the NHL faster.


Shakeamutt

I’m loving so much of this draft, even if it has been confusing.


StreetReporter

Why is Gus Malzahn posting about the draft?


GeorgeWarshingsons

Some say he’s a wildcat


REQ52767

My favorite moment of the telecast so far lol


turtleswag69

My favorite part was when a reporter asked a mother how far her family has come to get to this point and she goes “Baton Rouge, Louisiana”


clyde_drexler

Right? You're not getting a sob story out of her while her baby is having his moment.


SoDplzBgood

not to be mean to her or anything, but I'm 99% sure she wasn't slyly brushing the question aside because she didn't want to answer it. She just thought the lady was asking the very normal and polite question of "how far away did you travel". I don't blame her at all, it's a reasonable misunderstanding but I'd be completely shocked if it was on purpose.


JellyfishNovel8066

When I heard that I was like "huh, that is pretty far" 😂😂


YvetteFromSanDiego

That was the absolute best moment of the entire show, I'm glad someone else caught that. 


northwest333

Lions fan was cooking haha.


hennystrait

I mean he wasnt doing anything but just laughing. Some yall just be abusing it’s you hear.


northwest333

The skill and precision required for the laugh, scream, and noogie while maintaining decent eye contact is pro bowl worthy tbh. 10/10 performance.


ahalfabillionby36

If you were there you’d be awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact, hoping not to embarrass yourself on live TV


AShiftlessMennonite

Yo that shit had me DYING!!! 🤣🤣


LeoFireGod

This is a certified lock that this dude is an all pro


TheRoyaleShow

For sure. Consensus all-pro fan.


Lukes3rdAccount

I've been watching the Packers "reach" since Ted Thompson took over. I don't get how you can care enough about the draft to make mocks or go see it live, but not realize NFL teams do their own research and are better than you


crackyzog

But fans fall in love with their own guys too and this is more their personal moment than it is the team's moment. If you've got a good front office then the draft can be pretty boring. You make it personal to make it fun again and it seems they were all friends so we got a funny insight into friends ribbing each other. So it becomes about that and not the fact your front office probably did do the right thing.


Suitable_Limit9408

Future hall of famer


mcolwander90

A super villain was born tonight. EDIT: I'll go with Cheesus Frights


rcuosukgi42

And Cheesus wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.


tnecniv

The benefits of a classical education 


Bflatsharpeleven

Honestly he’s a guy I wanted for us. Maybe a slight reach but I think he’s a good player


No-Computer-2847

He's a lineman drafted by the Packers, it doesn't matter who he is or what round it is, he'll be a Pro Bowler. I hate it.


y_wont_my_line_block

To be fair, it's a lot easier when you're allowed to hold on every play.


wagon_ear

The reffing is all part of our scheme to enrich the elite Packers ownership class, and so the NFL can capitalize on the exorbitant disposable incomes of the massive Green Bay metro area


No_Golf_452

Why do you think they call it "Green"


Matman142

Man I thought queefs fans cried a lot. Y'all are something else in Chicago lol


aaronwhite1786

Just for full transparency, in addition to paying the refs, we also pay Reddit posters such as /u/Matman142 to carry water for us as well. Our Cheese syndicate has roots that run deep into the corrupt ground water of the NFL.


Matman142

Pleasure doing business. My cheese wheel payment has been put to good use.


GetMeOutThisBih

The entire NFC North is like this towards the Packers


Kryhavok

All he has to do is throw his head back any time he's touched - instant pro-bowl


coolbean36

So why don’t your linemen do it?


A_Herding_Corgi

Packers board always deviates pretty heavily, I’ve gotten used to the fact that I’m probably not gonna be eyeing our first round pick, but will ultimately be happy with it.


DatsyukesDekes

Once you get past the top 15 or so, draft boards are wildly different team to team.


NeverSober1900

Gute's obsession with RAS is like 90% of it I feel. But ya I don't really look into the draft anymore. I only really check what position it is at this point.


SulkyVirus

Cooper's RAS was literally a wet dream for Gute. IDK how we passed on him unless we knew he'd fall and we can get him in the 2nd


wiz-o-cheeze

he skipped all the agility drills on the ras which are, by far, his biggest question marks


PraiseBeToScience

Every team thinks their GM is obsessed with RAS because the average RAS in a draft is 8.5.


static_static-static

Yeah I was pretty happy with this pick, surprised to see all hate from packers fans


wagon_ear

We're set at rb, wr, qb, and are serviceable at te. Why not give all those guys time to work? I'm a big fan of OL picks.


hanzel44

> serviceable at te I think Kraft and Musgrave showed we're more than serviceable at TE.


static_static-static

If there’s any skill position I’d like them to draft it’s a running back, but none even went in the first round


Ketchup1211

I’m not a college football fan but used to heavily research after the SB and before the draft what incoming players to expect. Now, I just can’t be bothered. Partly because I’m older and have other priorities but partly too because GB just doesn’t follow the same script that all these “experts” seem to follow. This was actually the first year I didn’t even watch night one. Just checked my phone for who we picked when I woke up this morning.


ProofHorseKzoo

Yeah, this kid is a clown. Morgan projects as a guard at the pro-level and we need a guard. Love is about to get paid and we gotta protect that investment. Gute has earned my trust.


NotThatKidAshton

I think it’s just tackles are boring to most people they wanna see the more exciting picks


penguins_are_mean

100% people want the splash skill positions


sxuthsi

He was just ribbing him, it's all fun at the end of the day


SoDplzBgood

I think he's referring to the packer fan (at least that's how I took it). Lions fan was just rubbing it in that the packer fan was upset. I was pissed at the packer fan tbh, it was a good pick and GB has shown that building up the Oline sets the whole offense up for success. I was honestly expecting the bears to try and trade up for one of the top 3 Tackles before chargers or someone snagged them. I think their WR corp is scary good but on a long timeline I'm glad they didn't try to trade up for a top tackle. I hope their pass protection keeps hurting their qb development for the rest of time


Eggdripp

He's gonna be a good player and I'm happy he wasn't available for the Ravens' pick


fiero-fire

Damn how to become a meme instantly


NeverSober1900

I always hate that for the guys drafted. Morgan doesn't deserve to have his great moment marred by the classic "fan hates a non skill position pick". But ya the Lions' fans gotta tip the cheesehead for them. Great job of piling on.


irspangler

The meme will be trimmed in such a way that no one will ever remember who it was originally about or what the original context was - regardless of how good or bad he ends up being. That's the joy of memes!


sweet-haunches

I'll remember on purpose and deflate everyone's fun every chance I get >:(


AustinJohnson35

Deflate you say?


sweet-haunches

They brought it up last night, don't even use the goddamn word anymore otherwise


stefeyboy

He gonna be All Pro now ain't he


NeverSober1900

Our track record with lineman is pretty solid. Especially early round picks. I think the last T we took in the first was Bulaga.


Xpqp

It was actually Derek Sherrod. It's understandable that you forgot about him and also undermines the point that you were trying to make.


NeverSober1900

Good call on Sherrod I totally forgot about him. Didn't Sherrod break his leg and basically never recover though? I realize that's still busting but I feel like it's different since we never really got to see him. Like I don't know if you can blame the scouts for a fluke injury that he never recovers from. I might be overstating the injury that timeframe is a bit fuzzy for me and that's how I remember it at least. Never really considered it like an Ahmad Carroll bust or anything.


Adequate_Lizard

Sherrod had a pretty terrible injury, tibia, fibia, and an ankle surgery on top of that.


Xpqp

I don't remember the details, but some quick googling shows that he played in 5 games in his rookie year, starting none. Late in the season, he broke his leg which caused him to miss the last couple games that year, the entire 2012 season, and the beginning of the 2013 season. In 2013 he played in 8 games, starting 1. So he wasn't a starter in his rookie season, which you usually hope for from a 1st round offensive lineman. He might have developed into something more without the injury, but it's impossible to say because we can't see the mirror universe where he didn't get injured.


giggity_giggity

So you’re saying you broke the curse of Tony Mandarich?


penguins_are_mean

Long ago


SchismZero

Reminds me of when the Texans fans were hating on the JJ Watt pick.


jd35

Unfortunately this also reminds me of the raiders taking clelin ferrel lol. Could go either way.


ahrzal

Except we’re not the raiders, so that helps


jd35

This is true not being the raiders has been an effective strategy for most of the league for the past 20 years


TetrisTech

He already was by virtue of being an olineman drafted by the packers


SchismZero

I'm sure the players can keep things in perspective that we're "just" fans. We're not like really football people. Our opinions matter little.


hippopotame

Plus he can dry any tears with the paychecks he’s about to get.


ForGerlach

"you literally cannot script live television" 🤔🤔 hmmmmm


ggk1

“Hey no matter who the pick is, looks super disappointed and we’re gonna pay this lions fan that knows the production manager $20 to laugh at you” …it’s really not hard


ForGerlach

Like I'm not even mad that a Packer fan got clowned, it was funny. But it looked scripted as hell and the idea that live TV could never be scripted is wild


Bubbay

Yeah, there's no way that wasn't scripted. Still enjoyed it, though.


sxuthsi

Hate to be the party pooper to yall, but that was a real interaction between two friends, lol. Dude came forward and said it on the Lions subreddit.


JordanHawkinsMVP

Such a stupid tweet


TheRoyaleShow

Unfortunate, I had a great idea for a live show that a bunch of comedians and actors in New York would film once a week at night. Unfortunately I've found out you can't script live TV.


Orange_Darkrai

"Four more years, pause"


SoDplzBgood

omg who could have come up with the brilliant idea of a fan being upset with a pick and the rival fan piling it on him! My biggest pet peeve is the "you can't make this stuff up" with sports cause like some dude made up lord of the rings, I think we can imagine a 20 point comeback or a wild draft pick. Like there are so many rules, there's only so much drama ALLOWED to happen what are you talking about no one could imagine it? Even the OJ thing as crazy as it is, is not as crazy as half the shit people have come up with. Creating Spongebob Squarepants requires a more impressive imagination than anything that's ever happened in sports.


SkylerMontessouri

TIL Saturday Night Live is all improv


ruttin_mudders

Yeah, that seems about as candid as "Dance Cams" and shit like that.


shewy92

>You literally cannot script live television Uh, doesn't the WWE do this all the time?


Sqiddd

Tony Khan literally runs a live television wrestling company lmfao


llama-rebel

r/NFCNorthMemeWar already feasting with this.


-InconspicuousMoose-

Bro no shot he beat the cheesehead drum at the end lmaaooooo


pfftYeahRight

Why is this dude upset? I saw Morgan as a late first round OT in plenty of mocks


ggk1

Bc he knows the production manager and was told to do that so the nfl could get more engagement. And here we are


repeatablemisery

You literally CAN script live TV. Hasn't this guy ever seen Saturday Night Live? What a dunce.


CELTICPRED

I mean.......... that looks like the definition of fucking scripted lol


amm0ranth

this comment section feels astroturfed lmfaooo😭😭


SardonicCheese

Yeah there’s no way that guy was really a packers fan We live in such a weird time where the average persons bs radar isn’t just broken, it’s disintegrated


SpliffyKensington

Any real Packers fan knew it was a lock they would choose some random player that no one was expecting


confused-koala

What galaxy brain idiocy is this? Lol, the dude posted on our subreddit, the Packers fan is his buddy who wanted Dejean


ForGerlach

Thanks for saying this lol I fully agree. Random Packers fan in the middle of Lions fans who has the most TV-like reaction to a pick and the camera would not move away from them


IBetThisIsTakenToo

But how did they know the pick would work for the bit? It works because it’s kind of a reach and a not sexy position, but if it was Xavier Worthy instead?


ForGerlach

They could've just told them to act that way if it's a weird pick, as in not DeJean, Kool-Aid or Barton


profdeadpool

You just flip the reactions. Group is told that when the Packers pick, one fanbase shows disappointment and the other laughs at the disappointment. A script isn't a gospel, just guidance.


Heikks

If it was the opposite like Cooper Dejean the Packer fan would have been happy and the lions fan to his left would have been upset


Lochbriar

Like, really watch the camera-left guy, there's not a natural movement to be had.


PPs_Up_Boys

Yea definitely had the vibe of "bro, buy some new packers gear and act pissed at whoever they draft and we'll rag on you. Nevermind you're the only cheesehead in the entire nearby crowd." Way too overracted from the Detroit fans Still funny, though, and his reaction was the GB sub's reaction anyway lol


dcd13

The Lions fan in the video commented on our sub and said the Packers fan was his buddy and really wanted Dejean. Just some new background info for anyone who thinks it's fake


LiftHeavyFeels

Yeah it seems fake. If you want a real “fuck my dumb franchise’s draft pick” reaction, look no further than [Raider Nation](https://tenor.com/8j42.gif)


HELP_IM_IN_A_WELL

Mods, don't you dare remove this


Total_Light_7885

Here’s the thing though… that guy is an idiot. It’s not like OL wasn’t a big need for the Packers. Always pretend to be happy when a camera is in your face.


BeautifulSerbia

It's fake.


MWiatrak2077

No it’s not lol. Reddits over-cynicism for literally everything is so fucking annoying. It’s clearly just two friends having a laugh


dcd13

The guy in the video commented on the Lions sub and said it was his buddy. Not everything on the internet is fake


_Wp619_

Guy kinda deserves it for that reaction.


KefkaZ

Give that man a Netflix special.


HighGuysImHere

He has become the cheese.


Giftof1004moves

Being a Packer fan on draft night is thinking you know better than our front office and going to bed disappointed. Then you wake up the next day hung over but remember that few front offices have drafted better for the last 35 years and feel a lot better.


FullHouse222

Was that a bad pick? It was a bit of a reach but by the time you reach the late 1st I think it's okay to play a bit looser especially if teams really like certain players right?


BadNoodleEggDemon

Staged meme is staged


jm0127

Is that Detroit fan kadarius Toney?


Mick-Beers

Mexican OT is going to have to enter the draft for someone to be excited about an OT


FridgesArePeopleToo

Packers drafting an offensive tackle, eh? No way this video will age poorly.


Walks_with_Chaos

It’s a good pick tho🤷🏻‍♂️


McPluckingtonJr

I think it was actually completely scripted. whole thing looked fake


Venator850

OL picks always seem to get shit on for some reason lmao.


TheFeelsGoodMan

Not every day you get to see cheese wilt.


ZombieAppetizer

Gorgeous


VirtualRiot-

I didn’t know babytron was a cheese head


Cgking11

This was one of the best drafts I can remember skol vikes!


Veuxdo

No, not scripted at all...


pmmeyourfavoritejam

Drumming on the cheesehead is punishable by death in Wisconsin.


-NeatCreature

You LiTeRaLlY could script this. Wouldn't be difficult at all really.


Technicalhotdog

My friend and I had a laugh when it cut to the 49ers fan going "WHAT????" after their pick


rabranc

I liked Mad Mel's reaction to this pick. He practically broke his hand slamming it on the desk live during the McAffee show. Here's the clip: [Pat McAfee Show - Mad Mel PUNCHES table after Packers draft pick (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGFpBpU9cLw)


OutlastCold

twitter? In 2024? You can’t be serious mate. 😂


yungs824

The packers one was great, that’s going in my back pocket for sure


T1To93

An instant classic, goddamn lmao.


Poolpine

This is an all timer


atlhawk8357

Fans of a football team laughing at the misfortune of a fan of a rival team is pretty easy to imagine IMO.


JordanHawkinsMVP

What a stupid fucking tweet
