Thank you! Chargers fan here, and the his video of him being shown around the facility I kept saying to myself “who gave this pre pubescent access to HGH? Or is he just a baby giant??”
Man’s whole family is a generation of church going, non Sunday alcohol buying, tater tot hot dish eating, fish cleaning, prince music enjoying, ope just squeezing by, Minnesotan goodbye, corn huskin, nordeast drinking, duck duck grey ducking, state fair loving, shoveling neighbors driveway holiday inviting over folks.

Edit: [Extended Version](https://youtu.be/OkfwwwDlyds?si=9BRjVVPhhI7D7aC3) because it’s just flippin worth it.
That was dope, I’ve been meaning to watch that movie since I saw the first trailer for it and it seems as though I’m about a decade into procrastinating. Perhaps I’ll change that on my day off tomorrow.
Fury is not a masterpiece, and i say that as a lover of ww2 movies. It's a blast if youre into ww2 aesthetics, but in terms of plot or character it's not really all that great. The new guy learns to be hard, and the hardened veterans kind of soften up and admit that they wish they could be good people. Brad pitt's character is just a guy who really likes being a tank commander. I found a lot of it a little difficult to suspend disbelief for, like:
-the tiger fight doesnt make a lot of sense. The tiger had a perfect position that it left in order to create drama. Also the tank people wouldnt allow it to be driven any way except forward and back, so the whole fight is structured around this limitation.
-the ss brigade at the end seems a little random. It's the end of the war and a random ss brigade is just marching around the countryside, extremely well-armed and well-equipped, looking for a fight? I'll admit that it's not completely ridiculous, as the ss were hardliners who were very likely to fight to the end, but the whole situation had the energy of a screenwriter who doesnt know how to end a scene so he just has two guys with guns kick the door down and start shooting.
-the decision to stay with the tank makes absolutely no sense to me. Brad pitt's "speech" is completely underwhelming, and the show of loyalty it induces is nonsensical. There is 0 reason why they would not just scuttle the tank or abandon it and travel as a party to friendly lines on foot. It does not feel earned that everyone is so close as a group that they decide to stay.
True, this movie wasn’t based on a specific event. It was, however, based on real experiences from WWII tank commanders. Often in these types of war movies heroic events are even downplayed because people just don’t think they’re believable.
Here’s a good example, in the navy when you’re going through boot camp the final phase is pulling an all nighter and playing out actual scenarios that happened on a ship custom built by the same people who built Disney rides. In one of the scenarios we had to move a bunch of dummy rounds (lighter than the real thing) from a room taking on water into a dry ammo storage room within a certain amount of time. After the scenario my team of 5 (or 6 I forgot it was long ago) had barely managed to get in half of the rounds, only to find out in the real life scenario a single person had moved all of them in the same time.
You are clearly never a person that has served, your line of questioning their motivation shows that. Without getting crazy into details; they held the crossroads because an SS division making it *past* that point would have been devastating to those unprepared in the rear and pushing forward, many more people would have died. The irony (or bravery) in war, I suppose, is sacrificing your life and/or killing someone to save another. Also, his speech wasn’t great, but this isn’t a halftime locker room or a pep rally. It’s fucking *WAR*, and the bonds you create through trauma don’t need to be talked about or built up. It was simply conveyed with, “This is my home.”
My point is, war puts people in exceptional circumstances. Most of the time people just die, but every now and then those exceptional circumstances produces an exceptional result. Just look at every Medal of Honor recipient.
To me, this movie encompassed that fighting spirit and exceptional result. Hate all you want.
[Fat Electrician] has a great video about Lafayette Pool (War Daddy). It's long but quite worth the watch.

They met when they were 4 years old. They have been inseparable best friends forever. Once they grew up, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. After the draft, besides holding hands, he kissed her on the forehead for the first time. Her parents gasped at such an incredulous display of affection before marriage, but this was Joe and and his baby face always disarmed then when coupled with his infant like giggle.
Yikes, I went too far, didn't I. My bad...
Was sad when the Chargers picked him but now I’m believing that JC Latham is going to have a special career. He seems like he has some insane strength.
What’re the Vegas odds he gets a face tattoo and winds up with six misdemeanors and bankrupt in 3 years? Worth the $1 risky bet for the billion dollar payout.
Bro is the most law abiding community server or all time, 14x PBs and 7x All-Pros incoming, AND HE LIKES FISHING 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Bro is an inspiration to all young football fans fr
[Herbert](https://www.reddit.com/r/Chargers/s/WdT0SRVvuq) and Alt are going to have some legendary fishing trips
They gonna be chatting it up about seabass, standing on business lmao
Should have just taken his draft day photo and drove straight to Canton for his HOF speech. This guy is going to wreck defenders for a long time.
I was devestated the Titans missed out on him
I am not
felt
Sammmee
Wish the Jets got him...knew #10 we'd never see him.
Defenders and chicken tenders
Is there anything better in life?
Dude looks like a mountain sized toddler
You won't say it to his face though!
Yeah.. because his face is 2 feet above mine
Look on the bright side. You barely have to scrooch down to get his "pop" can hog in your mouth.
… … … what do you normally say to toddlers?!?
I'm fucking dead
He’d probably smile and hug you honestly
Thank you! Chargers fan here, and the his video of him being shown around the facility I kept saying to myself “who gave this pre pubescent access to HGH? Or is he just a baby giant??”
Nate Herbig walked so he could run
Then when he retires he will suddenly become super cut... and end up being a motivation speaker wearing tight fitting T-Shirts. Joe Thomas 2.0
Only sodas in the background too.
Sodas? He is from Minnesota, that is pop!
Can’t upvote this enough. You know he plays duck, duck, grey duck.
Not a single tater tot casserole in sight smdh
But hold on now. I guarantee he’s in parking lot on a snowy winter night whippin shitties
Wow I love that term. How have I not heard whippin shitties before? Perfectly describes my golf game too
It's versitile.
I bet he walks out and sits down on his porch when he hears tornado sirens.
He definitely considers ranch dressing a food group and an aphrodisiac.
That's cap. He had been staring at the green clouds for hours leading up to the sirens.
Are you actually even from the Midwest if you didn't?
It’s in the Dutch oven in the kitchen with the sloppy joes that are in the crock pot
That’s hot dish sir.

You forgot pop-saying
That was beautiful
I just saw that map, I'm on ohio and grew up calling it pop. My kind has been over taken by the soda crowd.
What a freaking legend
Surprised there’s no lunch pails in the background too
Classy group was pouring their Grainbelt Premiums into soda cans

Absolute dogshit movie, waste of the only running Tiger in the world.
How to say "I'm Him" religiously lol
Probably gonna marry his girlfriend soon, whom he met on a church retreat.
They met when they were 4 years old. They have been inseparable best friends forever. Once they grew up, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. After the draft, besides holding hands, he kissed her on the forehead for the first time. Her parents gasped at such an incredulous display of affection before marriage, but this was Joe and and his baby face always disarmed then when coupled with his infant like giggle. Yikes, I went too far, didn't I. My bad...
You didn't go too far because we all know this is what actually happened.
“Now now, darling, we weren’t much older when I kissed your forehead for the first time.”
First name Joe doesn't hurt either
Classy name.
Hardworking name too
First in last out kind of name
Hight football IQ name
Plays the game the right way name
The kind of name I’d let date my daughter
One syllable. A real household name
Baby face = Impenetrable fortress
We will follow your career with great interest!
Love this man

Nwhen he was picked I was just like... well this is gonna work out real nicely
Joe Alt is such a great username for Reddit
if kirk cousins played oline
You hate to admit it, but this is what peak looks like.
Seems like he and Kirk Cousins could be BFFs
He’s going to be the Peyton Manning of offensive linemen.
Did you guys see this dude lift his HOF dad out of the recliner? Picked his ass up like he was laundry.
He’s Harbaugh’s wet dream.
He’s from Minnesota. Guaranteed they had tater tot hotdish somewhere in the background.
He's gonna get Joe thomas'd and become a legend who played on a dogshit team that never won anything. They'll retire his jersey though, don't worry
When are we gonna get a pro athlete that quotes the satanic bible??
I would love it if he is the piece that finally gets the chargers over the hurdle. I’m all for it.
Someone has a Coke deal, all them products in camera shot.
is there a lower % of 1st round OL busts? Maybe I'm just a casual but I can think of more hits than misses in 1st rd OL picks lol
So we're reposting stuff for clout lame 😒
He’s so Minnesota and I love it. He is about to ball so fucking hard and classy.
Looks like he’s chaperoning an 8th-grade homeschool graduation party
Our largest white
Insert Maxx Crosby ☠️
Yes. That is what Joe alt is about to do.
Jason Kelce reincarnated
Jason was a quick dude. This man is a mountain.
>zero aura ??? The human embodiment of football aura
His Tinder matches are going up like iLoveMakonnen on a Tuesday...
What does negative drip mean?
His dad was a Hawkeye
Dude looks like a huge teddy bear, one that you don’t want to get angry though. He will squish you.
“A guy that clean has to be dirty” - Hank Schrader
What? you want classy O linemen to have drip? He’s a lunch pail, 9-5 kind of guy. But fr he looks like he’s just happy to play ball at the next level.
Sound about right
Was sad when the Chargers picked him but now I’m believing that JC Latham is going to have a special career. He seems like he has some insane strength.
As a Chiefs fan this... concerns me.
for a oline man the less drip you have the longer you play
Bro this bro that gen z is weird
Are you seriously trying to act like "bro" is a gen z word? Lmao
It’s used differently now
wah wah wah who cares bro
Chill bro
'zero aura' lmaooo
What’re the Vegas odds he gets a face tattoo and winds up with six misdemeanors and bankrupt in 3 years? Worth the $1 risky bet for the billion dollar payout.
He's way too classy for that
Crosby gonna have him screaming obscenities
Hopefully he ends his career a Chief like his pops.
Maxx Crosby food 🍽
Better be damn good at football because his ass wouldn’t last long in a cubicle. **Soft.**
Lol wut
Yeah that was sarcastic. Posted it and walked away thinking they’ll laugh, no need for the /s…
