That's Jimmy Pickle for ya

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

The article quotes Newton as saying "I made an ode to myself". I wasn't sure if he just used the word wrong, or actually wrote a song or poem about himself just for that occasion.

Turns out the article was wrong, and Newton actually says "oath". But I liked the idea of him making an ode to himself over that.

[–] Macklovin_8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Isn’t there a fee for changing numbers in the NFL? Something about jersey sales?

[–] hammerdown710@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I say this every time something about him gets posted, I MISS CAM.

Also a/o to jimmy clausen for being so bad we got Cam.

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

I thought Clausen was going to be so good lol

Biggest L on “falling for the hype” I think I’ve ever had. Maybe second to Sebastian Telfair

[–] girth_br00ks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who here members when Mil Kiper said he'd retire if Clausen wasn't a successful NFL QB? I member.

[–] 3WordPosts@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokes aside, isn’t this more likely because if jimmy changed his number he’d have to buy the inventory of existing jerseys?

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

Why are people shitting on clausen for this? If my team drafted a dude #1 overall to replace me I’d make him pay out the ass to take my number.

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

Cam is like, you know how many old lady clothes and hats I can buy with 1 Million?

[–] ChrisBenoitDaycare69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'll never forget when this dude started a game for the Bears against the Hawks and they punted on literally every single drive of the game.

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

Jimmy’s response to Cam? “Kiss the rings” https://images.app.goo.gl/No1shL3Za2vF5vuL7

[–] Fern866@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still waiting for Kiper to retire, like he said he would if Clausen isn't good.

[–] bigdumbidiot01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

lol dude has always been such a fucking joke. of course he's now a "real estate developer"

[–] mattcojo2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember hearing something about that so yeah I believe it.

Mad respect from Cam on this one.

[–] InsideHangar18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This whole things just reads as “two assholes interact, assholery ensues”

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

Jimmy “Santa Clausen is not comin’ to town.”

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

Lol Jimmy Clausen clearly never watched how this worked out in Ballers.

[–] Sabre500@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just a reminder for people who tried to claim Cam picked #1 because of narcissism or whatever other nonsense

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

appropriate response

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

I was a massive Panthers fan growing up and the Jimmy Clausen year was the worst year I've ever had cheering for a sports team. And I've watched the Timberwolves for 15 years so that's really saying something.

[–] barbaq24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ll never forget Pickles’ rookie season. That O-Line abused the hell out of him. He had to have had a concussion every week with the way he was getting sacked.

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

Fuck, I miss prime Cam.

[–] bdrake0923@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

".... I called the equipment manager, I said 'I'm rockin' with No. 1.' I made an ode to myself, I said, 'That will be the last time that Jimmy Clausen will ever be heard of in Carolina.'"

Lmao

[–] brmidwest03@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh wow. Notre Dame legend Jimmy Clausen!!

[–] levijns1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The kid whose parents bought him a house across from campus had to make his nfl money somehow… I say it’s a heady play

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

Actually what he said was, "KÏŠŠ M¥ ÅŠŠ"

[–] FlaminDrag0n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy, you are a 2nd string quarterback, why advertise it?

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

Kinda don't blame Jimmy. No way I'd give my number to a guy also trying to take my job.

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

One of my old neighbors used to go to high school with Jimmy. She said he was an absolutely arrogant prick. On his MySpace he put “The LeBron James of football” on his profile. What a melt.

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

There are so many ways to do this better than Clausen did and make it a team camaraderie thing or a charity thing... like say OK I want 100k for the number and then donate it to a charity Cam has been involved with. Or say you can have the number but you gotta buy everybody on the team a $1000 watch or pay the bill for a team dinner or something.

The PR and teammate opportunities are endless and it comes off so much better and less sleazy than "If you want the number so bad then give me money."

[–] Subject-Rooster-6187@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy KNEW WHAT HE HAD.

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

FWIW Clausen wore #7 at Notre Dame, but couldn’t get it so he settled with #2. He did this to Cam purely out of spite lmao

[–] abris33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The motherf---er comes back and said, 'OK bro, I talked to my people, we'll do it for $750,000

This is the best part. Clausen checked with "his people" before lowering the price

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

Honestly number 1 fits cam better

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

Jimmy Clausen... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time...

[–] Nypav11@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don’t blame him for over charging for something you don’t want to give up. Clausen is still a douche in general though

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

What a douche.

[–] phillydilly202@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean Jimmy probably knew he’d need the money.

[–] Brandycane1983@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cam needs to be back in the league. I miss him 😭

[–] EquipmentForsaken831@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Could care less about Jimmy, but his wife is fineee

[–] No_Can_1532@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fucking pickles

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

Jimmy Clausen is a huge piece of shit and I can tell you that from personal experience. I worked for a collegiate program that played against Notre Dame and during pre-game warmups he said “nice catch, asshole” to one of our student assistants who had dropped one of the punts they had been fielding. Ever since then I’ve taken delight in the trajectory of his career. Takes a special kind of dude to needlessly shit on some random team staffer.

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

The thing is the motherfucker changed his number the next year.

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

“Pickles” has to be my fav nickname for a player ever, the double entendre is perfect.

[–] jimbobills@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Professional_Low4894@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

in like the 3rd grade i would always check out the same book from the library i remember sam Bradford and Clausen had a whole page dedicated to who will be a general talent i havent heard his name since then until today

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

Good for him

[–] redvelvetcake42@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol man, Jimmy just keeps seeming like the biggest Notre Dame dildo. It's a number of a jersey and, oh, Jimmy you fucking suck.

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

Clausens whole career was a big #2 though.
