It's the most bittersweet time of the yeaaaar.
Summer is basically over (this year, it hurts even more because there's about a 98.3% chance I make my return to statistically one of the worst school districts in the United States sometime next week), but football season is right around the corner. I just had my draft on Saturday (nobody cares about leagues they aren't in, but I picked 11/12, and Mahomes was my keeper) and am rather proud of what drunk me accomplished. Who knows if I'll defend my title, but I like this squad. I can win with these guys. 
I was working on my latest "Dozie's Brain Dump" blog when I got a text from my bbf/e-bro/former offensive line brethren that legit made my jaw drop.
My man is a spammer, so while his batting average isn't super high when he connects, it leaves the stratosphere, like an Adam Dunn type. I'm so glad he sent me this; it has me fired up for football. Matt Judon doesn't give a fuck! JUST GIVE ME THE EAGLES ALREADY, LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!! 
Woooaaaaaaahhhh, Matty boy, let us know how you really feel!
I have been on Twitter much less since Elon started sabotaging it, but this kind of exchange is what the platform was truly meant for: getting off some risky takes. Pre-2014, 15ish Twitter was still the Wild West. This tweet wouldn't have been a blip on the radar. You didn't have to worry about your words being used against you years later, but nowadays, you gotta be way more selective of the thoughts you share with the internet (a rule I don't always follow). Words can ruin your life. Of course, it's all relative. Matthew Judon is a four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher with 28 sacks over the last two seasons. NFL teams will pay dudes who beat up women and children. A blunt but low-key-based tweet isn't gonna cost Judon his job. This clip's been used a million times, but it's perfect in this situation. — Drew (@DrewBanned) August 28, 2023
You can't expect the say some shit like that and not get it right back. This clap back drops some truth and also made me LOL despite the grammatical errors.
Matt Judon isn't a stranger to bad takes. He thinks mac and cheese is overrated, saying, "It's just cheese and noodles," as if other great things in life aren't simple. Some of the best songs are only a singer and acoustic guitar. Pizza is only dough, sauce, and cheese. Sex is just a dick and a various opening. Grilled cheeses and PB&Js are simple but can still be superb.
Twitter isn't the place for nuanced conversations about mental health and addiction. Mac Miller's death is complicated, but the tweet could've been about any topic. I'm just glad it exists. It was spicy AF and legitimately got me excited. In today's world, everybody is tense, and things can be taken more seriously than they need to be. Like Judon didn't sell Mac the fentanyl, he just got off a savage ass tweet. But don't get it twisted, Judon deserves criticism for his tweet. He was fucked from the beginning. "Absolutely nobody cares" is a JV-ass internet take, nine!!! That's what I used to say when I was like 15. You gotta do better than that. Whether you agree with them or not, plenty of people care about said tribute on "Yours Truly." HYPOTHETICALLY had you tweeted it without "absolutely nobody cares," it would've hit harder, but someone with 28 sacks over the past two seasons probably doesn't give a fuck about a niche blogger's take on the power of word choice. With the Patriots starting their season against the defending NFC champs, I hope Judon keeps this mindset going on the football field. Don't give a fuck. Go full savage mode (21). We saw last year how a few plays can be the difference from 7 to 10 wins. You gotta get your edge by any means necessary. If shit-talking pop stars is what it takes, I say tell Mac Jones to start chirping Lizzo about fat-shaming people while being the size of a Chrysler that's as big as a whale!
