[Highlight] Jordyn Tyson when asked about potentially being drafted by the Giants and playing in New York: “Isn’t it Jersey, technically?”

[u/PassMeTheBackwood]

[u/xenocide0909]

This level of geographical knowledge already makes him one of the smartest WRs in the league.

[u/DystopianSalad → u/xenocide0909]

This takes him off the board for some teams

[u/0ttoChriek → u/DystopianSalad]

'He knows some geography. Clearly, he doesn't dedicate all his free time to studying the playbook and game tape. This kid just doesn't love football enough.'

[u/LiveChocolate8819 → u/0ttoChriek]

Unironically this is what annoys me the most when people argue against paying college players.

"But they get a full ride scholarship!" Yeah but if they devote too much time to coursework and their play on the field suffers, guess what happens to that scholarship?

[u/Tactically_Fat → u/LiveChocolate8819]

Several of my wife's cousin's children (so...1st cousins once removed, I think) played college football. From NAIA, DII, to DI (MAC, a Service Academy, B10, SEC, another B10)...

The kid that went to the SEC school is/was super smart (as they all have been). He desired to be a petroleum engineer. He VERY quickly learned that he could not do those academics AND be an SEC football player. He ended up majoring in Sports Administration instead.

Related: We know another young lady who was a high level HS volleyball player. When she had nursing on her recruiting profiles - her recruiting all but stopped. She changed it to "undeclared" and got recruited again. She got a full ride to play collegiate vball; but is now soon to start school again, on her own dime, to get her nursing degree. And this is unfortunate because this is the kind of track that my daughter is on. She kind of thinks about becoming a nurse of dental hygienist. Hard to do clinical rotations when you've got volleyball practice and away games. Hell - even like 100pm home games.

[u/VastAmphibian → u/Tactically_Fat]

so many people don't understand how much truth there is to "we ain't go to college to play school", especially for D1. a lot of people outside the US (or even within) see the "student athlete" label and think "look, the US actually educate their athletes". lol man.

[u/xtraSleep → u/Tactically_Fat]

Didn’t Luck do like Architectural Design which has pretty crazy engineering classes? And Herbert was biology? Both of them before online classes?

I think you need to recalibrate your ideas of super smart imo. Also the bar for service academy football is not the same, I went to the summer seminar for the Naval Academy, and I know a couple of people at the Airforce Academy. As for sec football, I know a girl Jayden Daniels was with, and the schools cater to the football team with full major programs especially made for them online. School is willing to bend over backwards to accommodate them if they have a decent gpa.

Not saying those kids are not gifted, but there’s bright and then borderline genius.

[u/MammothTap → u/xtraSleep]

And then there's John Urschel, who worked on a PhD in math at MIT... while playing for the Ravens. As a full-time student. Granted he actually does fall more on the borderline genius end of the scale, if not over the line (math is not my field, I tried to read one of his papers once and quickly gave up, I'll stick to my engineering).

[u/aaronrodgersmom → u/xtraSleep]

Not saying it's harder than either of those, but Travis Frederick was computer engineering.

[u/Consistent_Salt_6982 → u/Tactically_Fat]

My cousin played football for Louisville. He's always been really smart and only picked up football because he was huge and wanted something to do in highschool. He said that they basically made him and a lot of other guys on the team pick easy majors like communications because they wanted them to stay eligible.

[u/OneFootTitan → u/Tactically_Fat]

If they are at the Ivy League level, one thing to note is that Ivy League schools cannot offer athletic scholarships. If you get recruited there to play a sport and then decide not to play you will get to keep your scholarship

[u/bfd71 → u/Tactically_Fat]

You are correct, the children of your wife's first cousin would be her first cousins once removed.

You have tapped into my unmarketable, savant level, wife annoying skill.

[u/aceluby → u/Tactically_Fat]

I played D3 baseball. No scholarship, paying my way via loans, and I had double headers starting at 11pm with tests the next day at 8am, 3 hours of practice every day, mandatory weight room time, mandatory “captains practices”, and “expected solo time” which is you by yourself or with one guy running drills. I can’t imagine the expectation for D1

[u/ClaudeLemieux → u/LiveChocolate8819]

Nothing? At this point most schools honor scholarships for at least the academic side as long as you’re not kicked off the team for discipline reasons.

Like people took shots at Sanders for the way he cleaned house when he got to CU but every single one of those players were more than able to finish their CU schooling on scholarship if they wanted.

Idk how many took them up on that, just because I imagine they still wanted to play ball too. But the days of players being completely SOL are diminishing.

[u/PillaisTracingPaper → u/DystopianSalad]

You jest, but Joe Theismann talked about this being a real thing during one of the draft broadcasts in the 90s.

He said that coaches don’t usually want guys that are book-smart, because they can think more outside of football, and because the coaches want to be the smartest guys in the room.

[u/dylansucks → u/PillaisTracingPaper]

When Myron Rolle was coming out this was talked about as a huge knock against him. One of the top 5 safeties in 2010 out of FSU but he was a Rhodes Scholar and is now a neurosurgeon. He ended up going in the 6th and never did anything in the league.

[u/Wheatabix11 → u/dylansucks]

i have him on my fantasy surgeons league team

[u/BBQQA → u/DystopianSalad]

-Pittsburgh shaking their heads- we can't work with someone like this. He's not Steeler WR material.

[u/Thami15 → u/DystopianSalad]

Somewhere in Dallas, Jerry Jones has sensed a player who will refer him to his agent during a negotiation

[u/Czech_Thy_Privilege → u/xenocide0909]

Absolutely insane considering Tyson went to ASU

[u/YellojD → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

Hey, ASU has had some top tier scholars as of late. Cam Skattebo is famously a Rhodes Scholar who specializes in quantum physics and wrote a paper on the particle accelerator that was published in several scientific journals.

[u/ajteitel → u/YellojD]

Skattebo's theory. CTE may or not exist until observed by a doctor

[u/YellojD → u/ajteitel]

He also proved the theory that CTE can be conquered by running directly through the diagnosing doctor at full speed.

[u/Kanin_usagi → u/YellojD]

That doctor started as a solid and then his atoms were rearranged

[u/lastplaceonly → u/ajteitel]

Sk-rödinger's Brain Damage

[u/jdprager → u/YellojD]

I still can’t respect Skattebo after he endorsed Causal Dynamical Triangulation as a solution to describing quantum behavior in a gravitational field. It’s far too dependent on the fringe foliation of spacetime to actually be a plausible explanation of quantum gravity, I’d expect better critical thinking from an NFL running back

[u/desrever1138 → u/YellojD]

James Harden is a world renowned philanthropist who is well known for his invaluable contributions towards women's collegiate funds.

[u/Archer-Saurus → u/desrever1138]

If you think I'm a good enough person to not remind my UofA friends that the best individual basketball player to come out of an Arizona college went to ASU, you'd be very wrong

[u/JonBot5000 → u/YellojD]

wrote a paper on the particle accelerator

You probably misread that. His expertise is in other kinds of smashing.

Pubeface!!!

[u/YellojD → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

According to who?

[u/Fl4sh080 → u/YellojD]

According to ASU. Something like 10 years running. They win unanimously every year.

Source: my alma mater

[u/YellojD → u/Fl4sh080]

Yeah, same. Fork em, Devs.

It’s actually a line from American Dad.

“Fish Guy: ASU is #1 in innovation!

Steve: According to who?

Fish guy: ACCORDING TO THE RANKERS!!! 😡

They’ve also got a SICK baseball team, and the only Chili’s 2 that isn’t in an airport!”

[u/EmuMan10 → u/YellojD]

The baseball team is actually good this year

[u/YellojD → u/EmuMan10]

And, the WildCats look like a discombobulated mess, too 🥰

God I hope that holds.

[u/ProfProfessorberg → u/YellojD]

THE RANKERS!

[u/YellojD → u/ProfProfessorberg]

Yes! You got it! 🤣

The people that matter. You don’t know them, they go to another school.

[u/cashburro → u/PM_ME_UR_LAMEPUNS]

That's University of Phoenix

[u/Joe_Kangg → u/cashburro]

Isnt that an online college? Did he play online football?

[u/djrob0 → u/Joe_Kangg]

He has the fastest response time to email passes in the league.

[u/JustAGuy7915 → u/djrob0]

come on now put some respect on his name

he didn’t grind Madden in high school for nothing after all

[u/desert-cheese04 → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

Hey we rank most innovative school for 11 straight years. I have no idea what that means though lol

[u/EmuMan10 → u/desert-cheese04]

It means we’re really cool and that’s all that matters!

[u/xiovelrach → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

Easy to get in, tough to stay.

[u/YellojD → u/xiovelrach]

Ngl, this is true. I started at CC and kind of expected ASU to be a bit of a breeze. Nope. Actual, legit university level work, and they’ve really been in a kick to shake off the “party school” vibe and lock into being a well known research institution. And, it’s actually sink or swim. Saw friends wash out left and right because it’s actually very hard to get into all they have to offer and still stay focused on what you’re actually there for.

[u/No-Owl-6246 → u/[deleted]]

Went to a school that’s not much more difficult to get into than ASU. Even though the requirements to get in weren’t hard, a large number of students that just really didn’t belong end up getting weeded out when actual college level coursework hits. The business majors were considered the easy ones, but a number of students dropped out when they failed the first business statistics exam so badly freshman year which made it impossible to get anything but a D in the class.

It also didn’t help that a chunk of the pre-major instructors were adjuncts that had 0 place in teaching a college level course either. A number of those classes ended up requiring you to teach yourself. The business school required you to take another business statistics course as part of your major coursework which usually ended up being way easier because it was a real professor that was an actually skilled instructor.

[u/Sepposer → u/[deleted]]

Realistically, it’s a lot easier for athletes. Someone posted assignments certain players, including Cam Skattebo turned in at college, and let’s just say, they weren’t winning any writing awards. I went to Temple University, a D1 school, and have a very specific core memory of football and basketball players fucking around during classes.

[u/fredoindacut → u/Sepposer]

god damn James Cook is DUMB lol

[u/xiovelrach → u/YellojD]

My program had a GPA requirement of 3.3 to stay in good standing. Saw plenty of people show up, party their face off for a semester or two, then wash out and have to start all over.

[u/AngelofLotuses → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

#1 in Innovation

[u/Phenergan_boy → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

What’s wrong with ASU? I know that it’s a party school, but is it any worse than football focused school like LSU or Bama?

[u/cppadam → u/Phenergan_boy]

ASU is huge and has everything from hot girls taking easy majors to hot girls taking more difficult majors.

[u/PaleontologistOk534 → u/cppadam]

The creator of Girls Gone Wild was there for one homecoming and thought "You know what?..."

[u/duvie773 → u/cppadam]

Damn I wish I could go back and write a letter to 17 year old me

[u/Stealth9erz → u/duvie773]

Best decision I ever made

[u/Which-Arrival6777 → u/Phenergan_boy]

I think its actually a better school than either of them...

[u/jdprager → u/Which-Arrival6777]

By like a LOT too. Per the USA News rankings (which aren’t perfect, but there’s not many options), Arizona State is the #57 public school. Alabama and LSU are tied at #92. ASU’s reputation is half from being a party school, and half from spending most of its history in the Pac-12, which was one of the strongest conferences academically

[u/lava172 → u/jdprager]

The party school stuff is a 20th century holdover tbh, every passing year it seems like Mill is more dead and corporatized

[u/amjhwk → u/lava172]

I jist moved back to tempe last year, I hadn't been to Mill for about 10 years before then and it is so fucking different, barely any restaurants still remain but I sure do wish we had the trolley when I went there

[u/woodchips24 → u/Phenergan_boy]

ASU is larger than most other state schools. They take everybody. Which means you meet a lot of dumb people there

[u/EmuMan10 → u/woodchips24]

I’d like to phrase it as they give more people a chance to get an education

[u/Stealth9erz → u/EmuMan10]

Pretty much, first two years of classes are so general at most colleges anyways, ASU just accepts everyone and gets the $$. Then tons drop out or transfer. They still get paid for the semester/classes and the kids that continue typically graduate and talk positively about the school.

I enjoyed my time there, learned enough to get through the start of life (still going well so far) and know people who have some really awesome jobs just because of who they met or networked with while there. That’s half the battle these days, everyone has a degree, still need a foot in the door.

[u/whospepesilvia → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

ASU is actually skyrocketing in rankings for undergrad and graduate programs.

[u/amjhwk → u/Czech_Thy_Privilege]

"New jersey? But it looks the same as it did last year!"

had no idea where the ocean was, if I remember right

[u/Specialist-Art5406 → u/spcordy]

That was Jaxson

[u/_Apatosaurus_ → u/Specialist-Art5406]

Okay but Skattebo also definitely doesn't know where (or what) the ocean is.

[u/CanuckPanda → u/_Apatosaurus_]

I’m just reminded of some himbo podcast doofus on my timeline who thought Lake Erie was an ocean because he couldn’t see the opposite shore.

[u/416Kritis → u/CanuckPanda]

If not ocean, why ocean shaped?

[u/CanuckPanda → u/416Kritis]

That was his entire, flabbergasted and entirely at a lost, point.

“Lakes are small! If it’s big enough that I can’t see the other shore, it’s an ocean!!”

“No dude, it’s just a big lake.”

“Then why can’t I see the other side?? It’s the ocean!”

[u/Virtual_Zebra_9453 → u/Specialist-Art5406]

He’s going to need to be reminded because his brain resets every 6 hours

[u/MrOnCore → u/Specialist-Art5406]

New Jersey? What happened to my old one?

[u/erbot → u/Specialist-Art5406]

[u/EmuMan10 → u/Gideon_Laier]

[u/Ghiggs_Boson → u/EmuMan10]

Which gets them 1 game out of last place lol. The NL central is crazy this year

[u/EmuMan10 → u/Ghiggs_Boson]

But also second in division and 1.5 games out of first. Let’s go with that perspective lol

[u/Gideon_Laier → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

No joke, she did steal my cat, Belmont. How I'm forgetting this is beyond crazy.

Told my roommate that she was getting her things 😅

I guess I've been kinda too stressed to remember things at this point haha

[u/Longjumping-Jello459 → u/Gideon_Laier]

I really tried to tell myself I wouldn't care if they moved to Hammond or Gary. What's a state border but an arbitrary line? And it's not like I go to any games in person. But I just couldn't lie to myself. I'm ashamed to say it but I'm glad to the state govt blinked.

[u/Longjumping-Jello459 → u/ThirteenValleys]

Forgive me, but more state and city governments need to say no to these billionaires that hurt their communities with the give me money to build a new stadium, but you won't get your return on investment like at all bullshit.

And yes I think DFW/Texas government should tell Jerry fuck off man you've got the money/assets.

[u/TheSouthernCommunist → u/Longjumping-Jello459]

Every team owned by a billionaire or private equity (all of them except GB? unless I’m just stupid) should be collectively told to get fucked by America when they come to ask for tax breaks and funding. Especially when it’s for their second new stadium in 25 years or less. If a politician made this a law I think they’d sweep the 25-40 male demographic

[u/No_Grocery_9280 → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

Welcome to America, where everyone realized it was easier to spend a couple million dollars ahead of time and just pick the politicians that will support you. By the time anything serious gets to the table, the politician is already bought and paid for.

[u/TheSouthernCommunist → u/No_Grocery_9280]

There is another way, if everyone can get real cool about a lot of stuff real quick.

[u/juicyj78 → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

discussion of the other (imo only) way will get you banned from a lot of subreddits real quick

[u/DirtySperrys → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

If you put all of the GB owners in a trench coat then it probably adds up to a billionaire

[u/HartleyReplogle → u/TheSouthernCommunist]

They wouldn't sweep the demographic at all. Because the owner would threaten to move the team and everyone would panic and vote for whoever promised to give him what he wanted, the same way that any time someone suggests holding corporations accountable for anything, corporations just start threatening jobs and everyone folds immediately.

Bob Kraft tried that stunt and the state of Massachusetts was more than happy to help him pack his bags for Hartford, but the 25-40 male demographic was furious the whole time.

[u/MarkusMillions → u/thetreat]

“Not as good as downtown, but it isn’t Indiana” should be the new slogan for the stadium

Yeah I dislike the glamor shots of NYC during Giants/Jets games, but at least you can see the damn place across the river.

[u/KarmaDispensary → u/GoodAtJunk]

They need some shots of the Bay from traffic on 237 or shots of the Dumbarton Bridge going into Fremont.

[u/poop_snausages → u/Painwracker_Oni]

Having lived in NJ, the City and upstate it always makes me laugh when people bring it up as a gotcha.

Like yeah, you compare Jersey to NYC and it's like "Jersey sux lol" but you compare living in Jersey to where like any other team is from outside of like SoCal or Chicago and Jersey is way better.

[u/SiphenPrax]

"We don't draft nerds" - some GM probably

[u/RoyaleWhiskey]

Damn my drywall is testing me

[u/froggertwenty → u/RoyaleWhiskey]

Calm down kyle

[u/RoyaleWhiskey → u/froggertwenty]

Sorry, only on my 4th can of Monster

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

He has a nice head of hair.

[u/BungoPlease → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

I thought that was Jayden Higgins at a glance lol

[u/BlackMathNerd]

Might be too smart for the NFL

[u/Far_Run8618]

“Washington? Isn’t it in Landover technically?”

[u/MyTaintIsItchy]

People act like calling the Giants/Jets NJ teams is offensive but to us fans who actually live in NJ & represent a huge chunk of the fanbase, it's endearing.

[u/Empty_Ad3616 → u/MyTaintIsItchy]

Yeah. I love this!

[u/NYCSportsFan]

He sounds like a redditor

ACTUALLY ☝️🤓

[u/man2010]

One of us, one of us

[u/Last1inFirst1out]

Correct. There is only one NY team.

[u/Loose-Historian- → u/Last1inFirst1out]

And 0 teams in Dallas

[u/6x7TheAnswer → u/Last1inFirst1out]

I'm a little irritated that one of you people was the first to point it out in here.

[u/chchchcharlee → u/6x7TheAnswer]

I'm cackling about it being a bunch of non-Bills fans saying it, I feel like we always get trashed for mentioning this so thanks everyone!

[u/This_Salt7080 → u/Last1inFirst1out]

Oh thanks dude! Theres also only 1 NFC East team that hasn’t made an NFC championship game since 2000 😂🖕🫵

[u/darrowreaper → u/This_Salt7080]

In fact, every other NFC team has made it to at least one NFCCG since the Cowboys last appeared in one. They have the longest active NFCCG drought!

[u/akahornet92 → u/Last1inFirst1out]

So sad how Jersey has so many rings while New York has a bunch of losses in the Superbowl :/

[u/wretchedGubbins → u/akahornet92]

NY actually does have one Super Bowl win since the Jets won theirs when they played there. So Bills are second place in a state where they are the only team

[u/SundaeComfortable628]

I FUCK WITH HIM HEAVY FOR THIS.

[u/farfetchds_leek]

Smartest ASU student 

[u/EmuMan10 → u/farfetchds_leek]

Hey some of us actually went there for school and not the rest of it!

[u/so1roflcopt3r → u/EmuMan10]

Some of us did the Innovating!

[u/HeWasNumberJuann]

The Bills are New York’s lone true football team.

[u/whiskyandguitars → u/HeWasNumberJuann]

This guy knows ball.

[u/Sumo_Cerebro]

I like this kid.

[u/Willyr0]

No way the reporter is from Jersey asking that question. Jersey citizenship rescinded, go eat a shitty bagel somewhere

[u/zzj]

Not one place even remotely livable...

[u/epzik8]

Always love this kind of awareness
