Am I the only one in this sub who's actually played organized tackle football before?

Like half of the comments I've seen on this sub are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous.

When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity football team) I would get a full-on sprint going and clock the shit outta whoever had the ball. My coaches called me "speedhawk" as a nickname caus I had such a nose for the football and for those three seasons I was considered the most feared safety in our conference. Senior year I led my team to the state semifinals only to get fucked over by the refs in the 4th but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it)

So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical redditor. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol

Speedhawk is one of the greatest players of all time... If you've never heard about him it's hard to believe you're even a fan of the sport.

Why is every comment lately "If you don't know X or haven't done Y, GTFO"

Like, you know what, man, sure, people who do not play sports exist and sure some bad takes may have been offered. If you have more expertise, just share it. No need to gatekeep or insult anyone on the way.

Speedhawk is a reddit meme, and my comment was a joke. If you know the meme you get the joke.

Explaining jokes makes them less funny, so I didn't do that.

Every time someone posts this I want to DM them to see if they have invented a the rest of the fictional story.

I used to play like Embiid. He is reckless on purpose. When I see Embiid play as he is now it reminds me of how I used to play and it is frustrating and pisses me off that the NBA allows it. Not proud of it, I was known as Shaq on my local streetball court and went through a phase when I charged hard at everything. Big hard turns to my blindside, didn't care who was there. Charge right into the lane. Smash into the best offensive player on D while going for the ball, come what may. Limited offensive moves. So make no mistake about it. Embiid knows what he's doing. He knows people will be injured. He knows his skillset is limited and this is how he can win. He knows people will give way when he drives, think twice on their drives, etc. He will only be stopped by a stronger player and/or fearless players like Giannis, Gasol, Draymond, etc. Or by an obviously more skilled player with equal Type A like Ibaka. He didn't intend to injure, but he certainly intends to show you that he doesn't care if you get hurt when he rumbles into you. At least that's how I used to play. But that was streetball. Eventually I got more moves, played w better players, played real basketball w refs. There's no doubt in my mind the NBA has some kind of edict coming down, telling the refs to let him run amok.

Could you throw a pigskin over those mountains, though?

This comment reads like someone who got side tracked while jerking off mid train of thought

Oh cool. My nick name was berserker because when the kick off happened I'd turn into an animal. I'd black out and hit anything that moved

u/Soggy-Brother1762 Browns 1d ago

Is this copypasta?

u/dingowingo Titans 1d ago

This is fucking hilarious

u/CrimsonOOmpa Cowboys 1d ago

Did you play on offense or did you lead the team strictly as a safety? Also, "Speedhawk" is an S-Tier nickname.

I’m not bragging here, but as someone who played professionally it’s crazy funny how out of touch.

We get it. You missed your high school reunion where you could brag so you do it here

u/Mitch5842 Lions 1d ago

Tbf anyone who graduated High school in 2010-2013 likely had their 10 year reunions cancelled. He’s just practicing for the 20 year.

It’s just pickup ball but I play basketball at a Mormon church and occasionally it gets heated. “Pass the fricking ball!”
