His mom was my middle school math teacher! She brought her husband in and we all got to arm wrestle him! He’s an absolute unit!

All of us on the eastern panhandle are rooting for him!

I got to commentate Bagent playing against IUP in my last year of my Comm Media major. Dude was a man among boys on a D2 field, and IUP was actually a solid team. Bagent ran and threw all over us. When I learned the Bears signed him I was hype, it's always nice to have a "hometown" kid make it - even if it's not really hometown. Rooting for him all the way.

I’m excited to have a literal hometown kid. Shepherdstown, West Virginia!

[–] Firemaaaan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That is tragic. No one should be forced to play for the bears 😓

[–] velense@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bears deserve this.

CrossFit is for mouth breathers

[–] Ihatenames101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why is that?

[–] AmbitiousBill550@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So are the Bengals

[–] Fieldsszn2023@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love the amount of people that have personal Travis Bagent arm wrestling stories. Rooting for the kid to succeed for more of those alone lol

[–] ShrikeMeDown@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I grew up in Charles Town, WV. Travis was a staple when I lived there - 2001 to 2007. He was always at the high school games and the Golds Gym. The most charismatic and hilarious dude I ever met. If Tyson keeps playing they need to get him on the pre-game shows. He will be a hit and it will guaranteed go viral.

I can’t wait for this dude to beat us 20-17

[–] maduste@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If that happens, Bears will have a better record than the Chargers

Even if they are an NFL QB, crossfitters will still tell you they crossfit.

[–] maduste@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

more concerned with his Fran time than his ADOT

[–] greasy_burgerr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a crossfitter this made me lol

[–] FartSmeller24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well well well

A vegan, a CrossFit guy and a Navy SEAL walk into a bar, which one tells you about it first?

[–] Raven-19x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A vegan SEAL who crossfits. What does he brag about first?

[–] Wthiswrongwityou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So, a lateral career move.

[–] indrids_cold@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Watch this be another Cousins situation

[–] Dat-dude21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember watching his dad on that “game of arms” show a few years ago. I hope he has a good run expect when he plays the Vikings

[–] KennyWeeWoo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Of course the cross fitter injections the hobby into any conversation they can /s

[–] bleedblue89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope he balls out while he can and stay a starter… it would be a fun story and the bears honestly deserve that kind luck where they stumble into a good qb

[–] YoDoofus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

wonder what’s different about him from Justin Fields that has people here excited about him, could it be he's… yep.
