Now we all know he had some work on his ankle or foot

Interesting, I expected Butterfinger would have come calling after last season.

I was born in Trinidad. Fun accent. Similar to Grenada.  Easier to understand than Jamaican. 

We have Aussie on here--he types with an accent.

Interestingly, I have a colleague who is from the same town as XL, and she says that is NOT how people talk there.

I love XL and I think he's going to be great. And yes, he's eccentric to most folks. But I will be danged if I can understand what the heck he said.

Of course, you can't help but watch ... and that's probably the secret to the advertising there.

People pick up their own accents...and XL is definitely playing into this thing.  It's a smart move.

I don't want to DOS myself, by my wife was very prominent in that area for a while, and she has no idea what he is saying a lot of times.

Anyone skilled in social interactions can "code switch" as they say.

Let him have his fun.

I am fine with him doing his marketing thing and I get other NFL fans saying they love listening to him talk and goof off on social media, so it is working.

My question is, are you working as hard on your game as you are on your "brand?" I want to see evidence of that in 2025. Because if that isn't the case.....go be a social media star and let that be your career path if that is your true passion.

He needs the kind of season Ickey had in 24 vs 23. Recognition and improvement.

I totally agree.  Hopefully he is able to balance both.

That’s what closed captioning claims anyway, haha. Apparently the “lava time” is a promotion for a new candy.

Lava time seems like more of an Immodium commerical.

[Shocker]

Did he say "lava time"?
