Was Matt Ryan the model for Elf on the Shelf?

not sure if I even want to google to find out what the hell elf on a shelf is

It's a Christmas tradition some white people use to keep their children in line during the holidays. 

My dad had his own spinoff called "the belt in my closet" which I always felt was much more effective.

^this

Some mom thought up the idea while sitting in her minivan while waiting in line to pick her kid up from school and now every married white guy that lacks the testicles to tell his wife no (i.e. Me) has to deal with this stupid ass elf.

Every married white guy with kids is right... which now makes me embarrassed at my lack of manhood about this bc my Dad was definitely a belt in the closet man

This. Jesus is a passing fad nowadays, and hitting your kids isn't cool. So, in trying times, things like EOAS is born out of necessity.

I was watching Shark Tank with my wife and these people had something like the elf that they called the Switch Witch. It was a plush toy that they used to get their kids extra Halloween candy. They said their kids turned in their candy and got the witch plush instead, and it helped them keep their kids from eating too much candy. 

I immediately looked at my wife and she was already staring at me with a smile because she knew what I was going to say, and like clockwork, I say wtf happened to being a parent and just telling your kids ok that's enough candy? People gotta give their kids presents and awards and poo for everything now?

I weep for the future.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
