I have to admire the dedication you sporting argonauts have shown towards Chase Daniel, who has never and will never take a snap as an NFL QB.
It reminds me of the fervor we showed towards Phil Dawson in the 90’s back when he was the only Longhorn in the NFL. Except he actually played and shit.
Caring, in the true sense of the word, is not a pre-requisite for commenting here on the fantake network. It’s all about post counts, selling ads, and being able to someday quit our jobs. Is it not?
So in all seriousness, congrats to Super Bowl Champion Chase Daniel. He’s my favorite booger-eating midget ever to play QB for Mizzou and win a Super Bowl ring. You can thanks Texas for passing on Daniel otherwise he never goes to Mizzou and likely never gets drafted by the Saints.
What are your thoughts on Super Bowl Champion David Thomas? People like to give credit to Drew Brees but Thomas’ emergence in the second half of the season is clearly the reason the Saints hosted the Lombardi trophy last night (before using it to commit a sex act on Bourbon St).
Super Bowl Champion Drew Brees recently referred to Super Bowl Champion David Thomas as the MVP of the Saints offense, so, yeah, my thoughts are he’s pretty damn good.
By the way, Super Bowl Champion Chase Daniel prefers “little person.”
All kidding aside, I am genuinely happy for Chase Daniel. He did a lot for Mizzou and landed in a great situation in New Orleans. I harbor no dreams that he’ll ever be an NFL starter, but a backup for a few years’d be nice. Plus, when he’s the Mizzou QB Coach him having a Super Bowl ring can’t hurt in recruiting.
Dave Matter reports that Chase is only the 9th Tiger to be on a Super Bowl winning team. Wow. In other “remember how bad we were news,” Justin Smith’s pro bowl appearance was the first for a Tiger in 20 years.
Maybe Super Bowl Champion Chase Daniel can embark on the Non Super Bowl-Champion Chris Simms Career Path and get paid a nice sum of money to carry a clipboard, while keeping major internal organs wholly intact. No guarantees on the spleen (especially for little people.)
There are certainly worse jobs out there, like being the guy that gets to empty Trips Right’s recycling every week.
I’ve often thought that being a third string QB or the 12th man on an NBA roster would be ideal. All NBA guys make ridiculous money and if you’re young and unattached that lifestyle with no pressure to excel at the sport day in and day out would be awesome. You could be hungover for every game!
Or, barely making a major league roster out of spring training only to suffer a season ending injury the first day of the season – that way you get paid major league money all year. A pitcher who needs TJ surgery would be perfect – out for the year, not even allowed to throw a baseball for six months – big money.
That’s the dream I have for my children. I want them to be really good at a sport, but not good enough they have to actually play it to make a lot of money.
I’m trying my hardest to spawn a 6′5 210 Lb southpaw with 98 mph top end heat and a wicked slider. At that special time of the month we get wasted, turn on Bull Durham, and let the magic happen.
I’m 6′2″, wifey is 6′0″ and at one time we were considered “elite athletes” (5th grade and 7th grade, respectively) so there is a biological chance. I have a passing interest in baseball come late October.
We hired a professional athlete handler from Baton Rouge off craigslist to ensure he gets recruited by Texas and gets selected in the first five rounds of the 2028 MLB draft.
It’s all about post counts, selling ads, and being able to someday quit our jobs. Is it not?
Speaking of which, I haven’t received my checks since… ever. I’m not sure who to talk to about this. I tried speaking with Carol down in HR. I’d go [knock knock knock] Carol! [knock knock knock] Carol! [knock knock knock] Carol! But nobody ever answered.

Vash, what do you care?
And, from now on, when referring to Chase Daniel, I ask that you refer to him as Super Bowl Champion Chase Daniel.

I would note, for the record, that Drew Brees went to my high school. Where do I pick up my ring?

I’m very happy to know that all of this NFL success hasn’t let Chase forget his roots: backwards hat and neckbeard.
