If XL ever gets a post game interview in a playoff game, he's going to become a superstar.

We're definitely not relevant again yet. Im hopeful for the first time in a long time but it's kinda weird how many fans are acting like we've arrived. There's promise but we still have to go out there and prove it on the field.

Agreed. Our fanbase, specifically the people who follow the team fairly closely, are more excited going into this season bc of the way we finished last year and the additions we made, but that hasn't filtered out beyond the fanbase for the most part.

I think most outlets are going to have us finish 3rd in the division (some 2nd) with a legit chance to win the division but definitely seen as a dark horse.

Which, objectively, I think is fair.

So, definitely an improvement over last year, and we definitely are not being put in the same tier as teams like the Saints who are expected to bottom out.

Still, for the most part, fans of other teams still see a poverty franchise with a meddlesome owner and a QB who's too small.

I know bc I work in sales and talk to them everyday.

So, I think your point is spot on. The team's performance on the field is the only thing that's going to change the narrative...

I know. My point is, IF he ever becomes a good player and shines on a widely viewed national stage, his press is going to go viral.  Right now, he's just a regional cult hero based on personality alone.

I’ll just come right out and say what we’re all thinking:

that music is horrible

[NorthTryon]

XL is becoming a media darling because he is different. Once upon a time, everyone had a different story worth exploring. Nowadays we get carbon copies of the same guys who parents made them specialists as little boys. You know the ones who carry themselves and answer questions like robots. He is different and has lived a life people on the national stage aren't familiar with and women are always game for an accent. He is even being featured in new NFL Network commercials just like another dude that drove the ladies crazy(CMAC). I was at a football party once, they were showing the commercial where all of the former and current greats were going after the football. As soon as CMAC came on screen literally every woman at the party screamed GO Christian! He has unwittingly tapped into the NFL advertising machine, much like Travis Kelce. All the he better produce posts make me laugh. The kid played last year on a hurt foot. Drops weren't a problem in college and according to reports he looks much faster after foot surgery. The kid was buck nekkid wide open a lot last year on a bum foot, and was asked to do quite a bit for a rookie. Let's just root for the kid and hope he excels on the field this year.

I hope buddy blows up and the league sees him as a face of the game.  Maybe we can get some of that Mahomes/Kelce/Swifty treatment.

[LinvilleGorge]

Just to clarify, it's definitely him.

Horrible would be an improvement. Most current female rappers are basically onlyfans thots behind a microphone.

Listen to Lauryn Hill with The Fugees and then try to listen to that. Talk about destroying a genre.

Exactly. It is sad.

I don't listen to the music, but I also don't hate on things that are just not for me.  

Women just seem to be getting into their aggressive sexualization and gangster type rap.  Saying it is horrible just because you don't like it is not very open minded.  Let women do whatever they want in my opinion.  Obviously there is a market for it.  Why hate the player?  I feel this is just veiled sexism.

Veiled sexism? Who said anything about hate? Let's be adults here. That's an issue with your own perception. And there are a number of other current female rappers who are legitimately talented lyricists. I make my own conscience choice to seek out those artists instead because they showcase actual talent. I'm not stopping anyone from making the music they want to. And I assure you the artists in question you are getting defensive over are making money regardless they will be just fine so you can come on down off the soapbox before you sprain an ankle or something. Appreciate the input.
