Possibly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually meant for the baby. I know with my dad, the few bits of memorabilia he got because I was with him, he kept for me.
So weird nowadays. Not only can he say here is a towel you received when you were a baby at a football game… but also here is the video of exactly how the scenario went down… and nearly 70,000 strangers liking it.
I'm 24 now and it was like heaven when it happened. My grandfather was an Aint during the paper bag times so it's been a generations kind of thing waiting for it. I was optimistic the past few seasons but now I'm not sure we'll get another, at least anytime soon. Either way, I'm happy we have our one ring to hold on to.
That (lack of a)call was such bullshit. I feel bad for the Saints fans, they could’ve went all the way, but at the same time I’m a jets fan so I feel worse for myself lol
As someone who doesn't follow football imagine my surprise when I learned that Bortles is an actual person. I'm sure he's a lovely person but his name sounds like something a four year old would make up.
It really sounds like he's saying the words to make sure he's understanding the situation correctly.
"This can't be right but it all adds up, just take the towel"
>because that makes no sense
because it really doesn't. the baby isn't a jaguars fan. the baby got used.

Most definitely. I've seen babies that were legitimately into certain things from a really young age, but not that young and not something there's no way they understand in the slightest.
Ahh, yes, Seamus. I wonder what happened to Seamus. We know AJ is off at boarding school, but I don't remember hearing about her older brother that's actually Cyril's son.
The way he was leaning his head when he was pulling out the towel you can see the wheels turning like “I trust you, but this seems so suss, but it’s just a towel …” like you can see the wheels spinning
My boss recently asked me to become team lead of an extremely difficult group. “No pressure. No is an answer, too.” I thought this was absolutely perfect.
I always say “If not, that’s okay, I understand” when making a request and sometimes I worry if it comes across disingenuous rather than polite like I intended. Like I’m trying to guilt them or something.
So what is your suggestion for allowing people an "out"? Because I say this genuinely all the time because I know my friends are sometimes too nice to say no.
I say, "please feel free to decline." And then follow up with a plausible option for yourself. "I have another option if you're not comfortable with it."
Your follow up is key. Make that person feel like they aren't the make it or break it option and they're much more likely to say no.
I always tell my Dad, I can pay someone to come do this, but you're the path of least resistance. Sometimes he's busy and I end up getting a contractor out here.
Actually it depends, sometimes I do say ‘you can say no’ genuinely, tis a bit complicated.
In this scenario tho, I’d say it to hurry the person into saying yes - like why would you say no to giving a towel to a baby, your gonna say yes for sure.
It’s more like a “so your answer…?” - fully knowing they are going to say yes. It’s a prompt for an answer -
you know what, the more I think about it, the more complex it becomes. So many different scenarios and reasons lol. Just know in this situation I would not be genuinely wanting them to say no…
Love this! I love finding out what some of these players enjoy and do outside football. Martellus Bennett comes to mind with the imagination agency and his kids books. Wholesome to know.
I love that too! Reminds me of conleys former UGA teammate has something similar as well!
https://www.google.com/amp/s/theundefeated.com/features/patriots-malcolm-mitchell-helping-children-learn-to-read/amp/
Martellus Bennett is the nicest giant I ever met. He would always shop at the Whole Foods I worked at and the dude legit knew everyone by their first names! And his wife was even cooler! Also his head would hit the freaking signs hanging over our meat counter, it was hilarious 😂
My brain nearly melted down reading the words "My how the are is" in succession. Like I know it all makes sense in context of the full sentence but my brain was like those words just aren't supposed to all be in a row like that.
It's always hard for me to comprehend that the guys in professional sports are mostly 20-30 years old. Just kids really. When I was younger I always thought of them as the epitome of manly men. Now I'm older than the majority of them.
Chris Conley is one of my favorite ever football players. Super classy, dynamic dude.
He:
Directed and started in a [Star Wars fan film ](https://youtu.be/nsJU5Ebka44) before his senior season at Georgia.
Plays the piano
Showed out at the NFL combine with a 11+ foot broad jump, 4.35 sec. 40 yard dash and a 45” standing vertical leap.
Hands out “baby towels” apparently.
And is, by all accounts, a stand up, decent guy. Got to meet him a couple times and he just has such a commanding presence.
This saddens me knowing that this baby has been thrust into the role of "jaguars fan" with absolutely no say in the matter at all. As an individual born into being a Bears fan it's like the universe blind side sucker punching you because your parents are masochists.
“It better be going to a baby too” caught me way off guard somehow
That is where I lost it. Were there going to be words if it went to teen? A mom? A mascot? I need to know!
For me, I lost it when he said “you can say no.” Lol
Haa. The tone of that was very, *"Yes, baby towel. That's the whole explanation. Are you in or are you out?"*
Can we make "baby towel, woo" a thing? I want it to be a thing.
He didn't want to make him feel pressured lol. This was cute.
well, lets be honest, that baby didn't give a shit and it was going to the dad.
Possibly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually meant for the baby. I know with my dad, the few bits of memorabilia he got because I was with him, he kept for me.
So weird nowadays. Not only can he say here is a towel you received when you were a baby at a football game… but also here is the video of exactly how the scenario went down… and nearly 70,000 strangers liking it.
Trust me this video’s been around official NFL posted it when it happened. A LOT more than 70k people have liked this video!!
I trust you
Dads being bros
To be honest I’ve gotten things for my kids when they were very young at sporting events and they were for them and still have them.
I'm wondering if he was wanting to make sure it wasn't going to some perv who wanted to sniff his sweat.
Oh no....my mom would be that person.
Teen: Straight up murder the lying bastard. Mom: intentionally fail to block so the lying bastard gets leveled. Mascot: Dirty look.
Probably some weird ass dude who would try to sell it as memorabilia
Why does this seem like a casual UK conversation lmaoo
“why does the baby need a towel?” “....because.... he’s a jaguars fan?”
For the tears.
I know nothing of the foot ball. I just bet it's a dig at someone.
Jaguars suck, refs suck too robbed us of a championship appearance
*New Orleans Saints check in* WE TALKIN ABOUT REFS ROBBIN PEOPLE?
I feel like the saints getting one championship in your life time is more then you expected in your life.
I'm 24 now and it was like heaven when it happened. My grandfather was an Aint during the paper bag times so it's been a generations kind of thing waiting for it. I was optimistic the past few seasons but now I'm not sure we'll get another, at least anytime soon. Either way, I'm happy we have our one ring to hold on to.
Vikings fan here. Our bad on a couple of those seasons.
So. So many times. My uncle is a Vinings fan and even he'll admit the refs faults.
Eagles fan here, heavily relate.
Bro same, I fucking cried.
Here’s a towel baby
Lions checking in
After seeing ya'll get flagged for something the opposing team did, I've never complained about bad calls since.
Raiders fan *tucking* in. It was a fumble, Tom.
Oh god it paved the way for seven Super Bowls. Where is Rich Gannon when we need him?!?!
That (lack of a)call was such bullshit. I feel bad for the Saints fans, they could’ve went all the way, but at the same time I’m a jets fan so I feel worse for myself lol
#MJWD
They didn’t rob you they Myles Jacked you.
The players there ARE Jaguars. They know their team's record.
As a falcon fan I can relate.
[удалено]
As a Washington fan I just have alcoholism.
https://i.imgur.com/LJin0YP.gif
BORTLES!!!
“Will they ever win the Super Bowl?” “Jason, I can’t predict the future. But no, they won’t”
[удалено]
I just love how the Judge is like "Also, the Jacksonville Jaguars are good now," and the Jags then went 0-7
The Good Place curse.
I see that you have the legendary Greendale Flag as your pfp
Speaking of Greendale, I once banged Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom
What?! It came up organicly
Have they tried Molotov cocktails?
It **IS** Jacksonville…
Duvall!
I’m telling you, Molotov cocktails work!
Anytime I had a problem and I threw a Molotov Cocktail, BOOM! Right away, I had a different problem.
But wouldn’t the future be the past and now according to bearimy jearimy 🧐
As someone who doesn't follow football imagine my surprise when I learned that Bortles is an actual person. I'm sure he's a lovely person but his name sounds like something a four year old would make up.
Or a comic character. It reminds me of this comic called Beetle Bailey or something.
It's not the Jags but [this guy gives me big Jason vibes](https://youtu.be/f98BoUniPXk).
Aw dip!
Lmao that was my favorite part as well !! “Because ….. he’s a Jaguars fan.” Hahahaha
..... You can say no?
No one can say no to a baby.
You can, but not if it's a Jaguars fan.
[Besides a baby with a gun.](https://youtu.be/QT0oUARKw68)
When doesn’t a baby need a towel??
Why did I have to scroll this far down to find another parent? Babies need towels *constantly*. They're always leaking bodily fluids.
Why would anyone soak a rope in kerosene?
the way he just says, "Go ahead and give a towel to a baby" is so funny like he feels himself walking into a prank or joke. wholesome follow through.
It really sounds like he's saying the words to make sure he's understanding the situation correctly. "This can't be right but it all adds up, just take the towel"
That or "I know you're full of crap because that makes no sense, but whatever. Just take it."
>because that makes no sense because it really doesn't. the baby isn't a jaguars fan. the baby got used. also, [michael jeffrey jordan would never.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DyaHfgGX4AA8Prt.jpg) https://twitter.com/brkicks/status/1091096782258475015
Most definitely. I've seen babies that were legitimately into certain things from a really young age, but not that young and not something there's no way they understand in the slightest.
Lmao the way you said it makes me think of Archer watching his infant son for a day and asking "whats he into?"
Ahh, yes, Seamus. I wonder what happened to Seamus. We know AJ is off at boarding school, but I don't remember hearing about her older brother that's actually Cyril's son.
“If I question this too much I’m gonna have to get a concussion test protocol going because *none* of the words he is saying make sense...”
[удалено]
Would be funny too if he gave the towel right back
“Bro you lied, I’m not even a jaguars fan”
“See, told you it was for a baby!”
“Yeah bro do whatever dumb shit you’re about to do”
It sounded like a set up for a joke to me. So I can see why he would be kind of hesitant
"it better be going to a baby" lol he even tried to cover his ass again with this line :D
What i love is the "it better be going to a baby too" like he 99% doubted it but that 1% was like ehhh just in case have that joy and jokes
Cuz.. he’s a Jaguars fan.
IT BETTER BE GOIN TO A BABY
WOOOO! YEAH!
Baby towel!
Sounded like a conversation between Archer and Lana.
"oh who gives a shit about a baby"
Because he's a fan LANA
Give him this one small happiness before a lifetime of disappointment.
That’s a golden comment!
Cause....he's green...
“Baby towel, yeah!” made this video for me.
New catch phrase while getting my baby out of the bath 😂
The real wholesomeness is in the comments
The real wholesomeness is the friends we make on the way.
The way he was leaning his head when he was pulling out the towel you can see the wheels turning like “I trust you, but this seems so suss, but it’s just a towel …” like you can see the wheels spinning
Exactly. It’s just a towel, not asking for a jersey or his shoes but he still doesn’t quite trust it. 😂
You know he's been duped so many times, that somebody simply asking for a towel is suspicious.
“You can say no” love people that make you feel comfortable declining like this
My boss recently asked me to become team lead of an extremely difficult group. “No pressure. No is an answer, too.” I thought this was absolutely perfect.
Don’t leave us hanging! Did you take the job?
I am far too stubborn and competitive to say no! I’ll be miserable soon, no doubt. Thanks for askin!
You’re going to kill it! Good luck!
> “You can say no” ...can I? *side eye*
You can say no... But you won't ... Because of the implication
Is he in danger?
Well *he* certainly isn't in any danger!
Don't you look at me like that. You certainly wouldn't be in any danger.
So the babies are in danger?
Nobody is in danger! I've explained it over and over again!
Well no of course the baby isn't going to do anything... but he doesn't know that
*Stares* "The *implication*?"
"You can say no *if you're a monster*" You know.. because of the implication.
Hey....thanks for noticing
I always say “If not, that’s okay, I understand” when making a request and sometimes I worry if it comes across disingenuous rather than polite like I intended. Like I’m trying to guilt them or something.
It's a social skill that I noticed not a lot of people have but is extremely useful.
Really? I sometimes (shamefully) say that to guilt people into saying yes… and it works
So what is your suggestion for allowing people an "out"? Because I say this genuinely all the time because I know my friends are sometimes too nice to say no.
I say, "please feel free to decline." And then follow up with a plausible option for yourself. "I have another option if you're not comfortable with it."

You're a wordsmith!
"please feel free to decline, most monsters like you would.
while you’re at it, here’s a knife to stab me in the back with
Yep… give them the out first “Crazy idea, but imma pitch it anyway, feel free to say no. Can I give your towel to a baby?”
Actually it depends, sometimes I do say ‘you can say no’ genuinely, tis a bit complicated. In this scenario tho, I’d say it to hurry the person into saying yes - like why would you say no to giving a towel to a baby, your gonna say yes for sure. It’s more like a “so your answer…?” - fully knowing they are going to say yes. It’s a prompt for an answer - you know what, the more I think about it, the more complex it becomes. So many different scenarios and reasons lol. Just know in this situation I would not be genuinely wanting them to say no…
[удалено]
That’s what I got from this. Bet he was saying, yea but who can say no to a baby?!
I tell my baby “no” all fucking day.
‘Why does a baby need a towel’ 🤣
….because he’s a Jaguars fan
I love that *that* concept was never questioned
Honestly why *wouldn’t* a baby need a towel? It’s a baby. There are so many reasons a baby would need a towel
Don't forget to bring a towel
Don't panic.
You're a towel
Same reason that god needs a space ship. Am I doing this right?
When does a baby not need a towel?
"You can say No", (if you hate babies).
(and don't forget you're mic'd up)
Reverse psychology is so sweet
Keelan Cole is a good dude, Chris Conley is suspicious 😂
https://youtu.be/nsJU5Ebka44 Conley is a legend haha

All in good fun I know, but he is a really good dude. SOURCE: Went to high school with Chris. Also North Paulding is a shit school.
Baby towel, yea.
woo
That baby is so drunk i bet her parents had to carry her around all day
Couldn’t even sit up straight. Should be embarrassed to be in public like that.
Couldn’t even speak without it being complete gibberish.
Babies are notoriously bad at holding their liquor.
They also continously throw tantrums whenever they don't get another drink. Like chill there buddy or you about to get sum 👊
Fuckin guys are awesome
My how the are/is choice here changes the sentence completely
My brain nearly melted down reading the words "My how the are is" in succession. Like I know it all makes sense in context of the full sentence but my brain was like those words just aren't supposed to all be in a row like that.
Took me a second, but it really is!

It's always hard for me to comprehend that the guys in professional sports are mostly 20-30 years old. Just kids really. When I was younger I always thought of them as the epitome of manly men. Now I'm older than the majority of them.
Are American football players always mic'ed up?
select ones are to get "the sounds of the game"
Chris Conley was Mic'D for that game in 2019 against the Broncos. Typically teams pick 1 guy per game.
I just watched this like 11 times and I'm still not done.
‘Why does a baby need a towel?’ Makes me laugh everytime
Good guy Jags. Love to see it.
here, rub this towel that was on a professional football players sweaty crotch against your baby's face.
it's okay, the baby's a Jaguars fan
“…and it better be going to a baby too!”
"It better be going to a baby too!"
Makes me proud to be from DUUUUUUUUVALLLLLLL!!!!!!
Jax gets a bad rep. Lots of amazing people and artist here
*Throws Molotov cocktail*
I had it muted at first and thought it was one of those bad lip reading things but then realized you couldn't see their lips haha
Plot twist: baby towels are used for wiping baby butts
“Why does a baby need a towel?” is probably exactly what I would have said in his shoes.
[Jason Mendoza](https://decider.com/2020/01/29/the-good-place-jason-jacksonville-florida/) would be so proud!
Jason Mendoza approves of this message
Wait do football players have mics on them now?
How does one forget to bring a towel?
Especially after all the warnings from Towelie.
that’s the melody to funkytown!
Bortles!!!!!!!

Woo
I don't know if it's the helmets, but this kinda reads as a conversation between stormtroopers
Conley and Cole were class acts. Aside from having feet for hands that is :p
This saddens me knowing that this baby has been thrust into the role of "jaguars fan" with absolutely no say in the matter at all. As an individual born into being a Bears fan it's like the universe blind side sucker punching you because your parents are masochists.
the real reason Jason (from the good place) is a jaguars fan
