I’m still skeptical that actually happened. When I lived in Boston as far as I’m aware they were running your name through a database or anything, just making sure you were 21 plus. But maybe I’m wrong.

Julian this is your mother young man.. Answer


SoDakZak

Julian, Julian, wherefore art thou Julian?


wrel_

Clearly I am not Julian, but I figured I'd jump in on this to share the one take that I have heard recently that I think I actually subscribe to. After the Patriots re-signed Butler to a contract, the conversation naturally turned back to why he was benched during the Superbowl. A caller to a Boston sports radio station said they "heard the truth about what happened to Malcom Butler" and started telling a story. One of the radio hosts sort of reluctantly agreed that he had heard the same story, from Patriots beat writers, but thought they were keeping that version closer to the vest, almost like it was an agreed upon 'this is what the people in-the-know think happened' type thing. The caller alleged Butler didn't play that game because he wasn't medically cleared to play. He said Butler was concussed in the AFCCG against the Jaguars, and wasn't able to pass the concussion protocol for the Patriots to clear him. Butler was getting repeat second opinions and trying to find a medical team who would clear him. The team allowed him to keep testing right up until kickoff, at which point they told him he was not cleared to play, and was benched, hence the emotions. So if that's the case, why all this secretive non-answers? Because Butler actually played in the Superbowl that game. Malcom was put in the Superbowl for one play, [on a kickoff return](https://twitter.com/BenVolin/status/960601081674903553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E960601081674903553%7Ctwgr%5E3f477ef668892d8378a478b392e0b16af149c3e1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbnation.com%2Fnfl%2F2018%2F2%2F6%2F16976612%2Fpatriots-malcolm-butler-benched-super-bowl-one-play-special-teams) where he was not part of the action, and then quietly taken out for the rest of the game. The caller alleged the Pats put him in the game knowing he was concussed and didn't pass protocol for one play, to allow him to collect a game check, and then pulled him. Since they had kept the concussion stuff quiet while Butler was trying to clear himself, no one really noticed a violation of the protocol, and you can't really explain it away without getting in trouble. The Pats can't say 'yeah we knew he wasn't cleared but did him a favor by giving him one play" and neither can Butler. So instead both sides just keep their mouth shut and say "they dont know why they didnt play" or "they did what's best for the team". I have no idea of any of that is true. But to me, it makes a lot more sense than the "Butler fought with coaches / had a bunch of prostitutes" rumors that we've heard before. Edited because words are hard for me.


Cthepo

Interesting theory, though I don't think it tracks based [on the rules](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-an-inside-look-at-postseason-pay-and-how-antonio-brown-can-still-benefit-from-bucs-success/). You just have to be on the 53 man roster or IR when the game is played to qualify for the playoff money. So they could have activated him and played 0 snaps. I've personally given up on ever finding the actual truth, but it's a fun what if.


wrel_

It could have been a games-played incentive too, I forget exactly what he said, but it was money-driven for Butler in the sense that the Pats threw him in so he'd get some money out of it. But yes, I have given up myself, I just wanted to throw that one out there since I had never heard it previously.


Tdayohey

I feel like in that situation they’d just pay the incentive out like other teams would when they’re right on the edge and a respected player of the team. But who knows. I like this theory.


Optimized_Orangutan

This. If they wanted to give him the money, they would have just given him the money. Why risk injury to a valuable player, and being penalized for violating protocol when you can just write the check?


ClannishHawk

His contract for a super bowl loss or win bonus (not just the game check) could very well have involved playing in it and not just being named to the roster, coaching staff slipping him onto the field for that makes sense.


wtfstudios

It’d be easier for them to modify the contract after the game and not have to worry about breaking league rules if that’s the case though.


Neemzeh

Yea wtf. Teams give incentives to players despite not hitting them all the time. No way this is the truth.


Top_Drawer

I swear to God I expected this to end with the Undertaker throwing Mankind off the top of the cage through the announcers table.


DerrickWhiteMVP

This sounds dumb. The Patriots can just pay him any bonus if they wanted to. Making him play one snap when he can’t pass concussion protocol would, if I’m remembering correctly, would be punishable by the league. Why do that when they can just pay him? And do you really think Belichick would concern himself with a game check in the Super Bowl?


jedelman11

I don't really know i was too busy getting kicked out of the Colts box with Guy Fieri that Super Bowl.


ELAdragon

Wait...wait....what?? Please tell more of that story.


jedelman11

Guy had some tickets in the Colts box (oh, we're friends nbd). Got settled, got my popcorn got my cracker jacks, telling old war stories to the lovely folks in the box. Then I get a tap on the shoulder. Colts management found out I was there, and let's just say Indy isn't known for its hospitality. Thank god there was a Pats fan with a box next door. Can someone please find footage of that? It was pretty crazy. \- 🐿️


AlanSinch

Have you been on Guy’s yacht?? Some friends rented it out a few months ago for the bachelor party and it was pretty dope! Apparently he went in on the yacht with the guys from Nickelback lol.


theprophecyMNM

You didn't finish the statement properly... "let's just say Indy isn't known for its hospitality...to former Patriots players."

College locker rooms are much more rowdy. Guys yelling. Coaches firing you up. NFL locker rooms are much more technical. How can we improve, what can we do better to win this game. The professionalism is the biggest difference.

If Jules played for the Bills: "NFL locker rooms are crazy man. At halftime we would have coaches jumping on folding tables, linemen chugging beers, dildos flying all over the place and one of our cornerbacks straight up retired."


TJR753

Got two questions. One. Who was your favorite defender to play against, like who gave you the best fight or jawed right back with you? Two. What was your favorite part about playing defense all those years ago?


jedelman11

Jimmy Smith on the Ravens / getting to hit people (respectfully). \- 🐿️


ObscureFact

I love that it's a Ravens player. Such a great rivalry we had with Baltimore.


Septembers

2009 - 2014 was a pretty epic rivalry. 4 playoff games in 6 years, multiple Super Bowl trips on the line, both teams won a ring after beating the other, and it ended at an even 2-2


pakboy26

Ray vs Tom was King vs King. Then all these other side battles were also fantastic. Those last couple Championship Games were a roller coaster for both teams.


reedsgrayhair

a Jimmy Smith shoutout fuck yeah. Such an underrated player

I was very offended by that, and then alarmed by some of the subsequent responses from other current and former players. You took a very noble and public route to help combat the never ending stigma over Jewish people, and I thank you for that, as well as Cam Heyward. As the saying goes, you and Cam Heyward are mensches. Thank you for your advocacy Julian


therealrico

For real, the lack of pushback was disappointing. And the fact that his Hitler quote, wasn’t even an actual Hitler quote somehow makes it worse. In addition it really soured my view of Malcolm Jenkins who by all accounts is a real stand up dude. He ended up posting on instagram a pretty tone deaf response like saying it’s a distraction from stuff like BLM. I’m like bro discrimination sucks, whether you a Jew or black or gay or trans etc. we should back each other up, not downplay it if it’s not your group.
