Chiefs Tremendous Bowl ring error; who’s the Bryson DeChambeau of the NFL

We’ve got handed the halfway level in June and have simply over a month to go till NFL coaching camps kick off in earnest. Fortunately Home of the Dragon is again to assist us bide a bit extra time.

The offseason drought makes speaking in regards to the NFL a bit tougher than regular however that solely makes it extra enjoyable. Michael Peterson and RJ Ochoa are as soon as once more up for the most recent version of The Skinny Submit to debate all issues Soccer League of Nationwide.

Some required studying in order that all the jokes and factors hit you correctly:

• The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs are most likely mad at their ring designer
• Bryson DeChambeau received the U.S. Open on Sunday
• There’s a new fantasy soccer punishment everybody has ideas on

Let’s start.

The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs tousled their Tremendous Bowl rings and that’s hilarious

Michael:

If I didn’t make it abundantly clear within the first version of The Skinny Submit, I’m a Chargers fan so this bit of stories was an actual juicy morsel when it dropped final week. Now let’s be frank, I’d commerce my life financial savings and the deed to my home if it meant the Chargers may win a Tremendous Bowl in my lifetime however that received’t cease me from dunking on the Chiefs after I can.

That is a type of moments.

Kansas Metropolis unveiled their newest Tremendous Bowl rings and whereas they’re as attractive as you’d anticipate, there was a minor mistake that was missed. Contained in the ring, the Chiefs listed all of their opponents they defeated en path to successful the championship together with their seed for the postseason. Nonetheless, the Chiefs engraved a “7” subsequent to the Dolphins, denoting them because the seventh seed. Right here’s the factor: The Steelers have been the seventh seed whereas the Dolphins have been the sixth seed.

I can’t categorical simply how embarrassing this should be for the back-to-back Tremendous Bowl champs. It’s so embarrassing they could find yourself ending final within the AFC West this season. The anticipated ridicule will merely be an excessive amount of for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

It was a fantastic dynasty whereas it lasted although!

RJ:

Objectively talking, the ring factor is a catastrophe. No person can change my thoughts on this.

In our day and age the place groups concentrate on the symbolism and which means behind issues like what number of diamonds are within the ring and whatnot, messing up a vital element is a foul look and hilarious from the surface. What’s extra is that it appears like the rationale Kansas Metropolis put the seeds within the first place was to emphasise how powerful their path to their newest title was provided that they beat the Buffalo Payments (No. 2), Baltimore Ravens (No. 1) and San Francisco 49ers (No. 1). They actually beat each No 1 seeds and that’s actually ridiculously spectacular.

So with this being the case… the error in query really makes their playoff path look much less spectacular. The flub makes the Dolphins look worse than they have been, which is as soon as once more hilarious given all the pieces concerned. Finally a element in your third Tremendous Bowl ring in 5 years is the head definition of wealthy individuals issues, however think about being the one who signed off on this getting the telephone name about all of it as soon as the web noticed the rings.

Underneath the radar gamers who may utterly change notion with a title

RJ:

As famous up high, Bryson DeChambeau received the U.S. Open on Sunday, his second main championship. By the way each of them are U.S. Open victories.

I’m a large golf fan (shout out to our colleagues right here at SB Nation over at Enjoying By means of for being a day by day learn of mine) and in case you aren’t then what it’s essential know is that Bryson was a bit, um, unpopular over the previous few years.

It’s troublesome to elucidate precisely why Bryson was so not appreciated, provided that it’s loads of issues. His character rubbed individuals the improper manner (he had rather a lot to do with that), however within the final yr or so he has actually turned issues round.

DeChambeau misplaced golf’s most up-to-date main championship (the PGA Championship at Valhalla) to Xander Schauffele by one stroke, and whilst somebody who appreciates Xander a ton I used to be so bummed for Bryson. It was complicated.

Watching Bryson get it carried out on Sunday at Pinehurst and taking down a fan favourite like Rory McIlroy within the course of and being overwhelmingly pleased for Bryson was such a bizarre sequence of feelings given all the pieces up up to now. Within the spirit of this… I wished Michael and I to take a shot at determining which NFL gamers may elicit comparable feelings.

Finally I feel that the reply is Kirk Cousins. Netflix’s Quarterback actually elevated Kirk’s status for lots of people and his season-ending Achilles harm final yr whereas he was enjoying nice soccer appeared to drag much more individuals into his nook. Then there may be additionally the truth that his new crew within the Atlanta Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr. proper after paying Kirk to hitch them within the first place.

Think about if Kirk led the Falcons to the Tremendous Bowl this season? If Kirk was the particular person to slay the 28-3 demons? If Kirk have been the one to do all of it? Given all the pieces that has occurred up up to now?

Dare I say it could be Bryson DeChambeau successful the U.S. Open at Pinehurst.

Michael:

I’m going to hop into your neck of the woods and use Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott as my alternative right here.

Prescott is broadly considered as one of many higher quarterbacks within the NFL. Relying on who you ask, he most likely varies wherever between the highest 15, high 10, and even the highest 5 of NFL quarterbacks throughout some stretches of the season. The unlucky half is that, regardless of being on a crew that had each a top-5 offense and top-10 protection over the previous three seasons, Prescott has not been capable of information the Cowboys out of the Divisional Spherical in three consecutive playoff appearances. He’s 2-5 within the playoffs and 1-3 since 2021. These numbers will not be changing into of a crew that has been probably the greatest regular-season golf equipment of the previous 10 years and has 12 wins in every of the previous three seasons.

So much like what you needed to say about Kirk Cousins, the current narrative round Prescott and the Cowboys might be flipped on its head have been they to win their first Tremendous Bowl since 1995. The factor is, perhaps they should cease being so profitable throughout the common season so the stress isn’t practically as excessive come the postseason? Possibly they need to barely squeak into the playoffs after which they will play with nothing to lose and all the pieces to achieve.

Ideas? Prayers? Seems like a steel-clad plan to me.

How we’d strategy the McDonald’s fantasy soccer consuming punishment

Michael:

Alright so I liked this story while you despatched it to me.

A man received final place in his fantasy soccer league and his punishment was that he has to spend 24 hours inside a McDonald’s. Nonetheless, he has the chance to “eat his manner out” by consuming menu objects, every of that are paired with a time quantity that will get taken off the clock. So for instance, if he eats a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, he will get 45 minutes taken off the clock. If he consumes a complete hotcakes and sausage combo meal, he will get an hour taken off.

Right here is the total construction:

So now let’s discuss how I might personally assault this factor.

If I started on the morning time, I might begin with a plethora of Sausage McMuffins with Egg. Usually I’m simply an Egg McMuffin man, however the extra sausage would supply 15 extra minutes off the clock and that little slab of meat added received’t have an effect on my general abdomen capability. I might gorge myself on these till I merely couldn’t anymore. Possibly that’s six or seven of them which quantities to about 5 hours already gone. From there, I’d intermittently nap to move the time and digest. After I wake, I’d eat one other McMuffin or swap to the double cheeseburgers because the morning turns to afternoon.

Whereas a McDouble is just half-hour off, a double cheeseburger is 45 minutes. I’m not fully positive what the distinction is between the 2, however it could possibly’t be a lot of something so we’re going with the merchandise that takes extra day without work the clock.

If I can get out of there earlier than the solar units fully, I’d be pleased (and grossly full).

RJ:

Full disclosure: I despatched this to lots of people on Saturday morning, coincidentally whereas I used to be within the drive-thru at McDonald’s of all locations. Life may be humorous like that.

However my perspective on that is that the objective shouldn’t be to get out of there as shortly as doable. My objective can be to spend one thing like 7-8 hours bodily within the constructing and spend the time writing, studying or watching one thing. Figuring out that getting out in an hour is step one of acceptance right here. You’ve received to lean into the ordeal.

Understanding that I’m attempting to shave about 16 hours off I really feel the necessity to say that as a child I actually loved the hash browns from McDonald’s. I might eat round 4 in a single sitting… as a child.

With the stomach of an grownup I actually assume that this might be the cheat code for me as my child-like order of 4 would knock out an hour at a time. Hash browns are additionally actually small relative to all the pieces else so I feel I may do about 16 over the course of my first hour. After a while to settle I feel I may repeat this and increase, half the time I wish to take off is now gone. Presto, child.

For the report I don’t assume I’ve had an precise hamburger from McDonald’s since across the time that I used to be crushing hash browns with regularity (as a Texan I’m a Whataburger loyalist). That being mentioned I feel a cheeseburger is a straightforward mountain to climb 4 instances to take one other two hours off. Six to go.

I feel at this level you form of have to just accept that that is the place issues begin to suck so I might simply do the “Massive Breakfast with Hotcakes” 3 times to pull myself throughout the end line.

Increase. Achieved. Straightforward.
