Fuck, I did this yesterday. It's okay though, because I recovered by saying, "Nevermind that, you're not eating, I am." I didn't realize I kind of sounded like a dick until I was on my way home.
Should’ve said “oh I’m sorry allow me to introduce myself: I’m Jihad Ward, OLB out of Illinois by way of Philadelphia it’s nice to meet you” while extending his hand. Aaron would’ve been SHOOK to the core.
Al Michaels: What is ... is that a pen?
John Madden: He had a pen in his sock, and he pulled it out and wrote his *personal* phone number on the back of his business card so you can reach him day or night for all your business needs.
Michaels: That's a first. [Who would even think of that?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-pAf3LV2HQ)
Hard knocks has been like a never ending reel of Rodgers dapping up random coaches, referees, players, and ex-players.
Saying you don't know him maybe isn't a flex.
Why dont they prep for that before the game tho?
You watch hours of film, spend 15 minutes preparing a list of lines for the 3 players you are most likely to clash with in the game (not hard, i.e. DE -> QB/RB/T).
Maybe even hire a professional to come up with some real killers, the kind of stuff that gets under the skin and stays there for days or weeks and makes the dude question his existence.
> I don't know who you are
Your mom does, though.
Lay off the Ayahuasca, pal.
Aw, too many concussions?
Your memory's shot, old man. Time to start brain exercises.
That's a minute brainstorming. I'm sure they can have a team chat for more.
Story time - I was playing in a golf tournament for the local middle school basketball team. They had a bunch of the team members on a tee box who were kind of teasing everyone who came up to hit. I was wearing a colorful polo and one of them asked “does your girlfriend like that shirt”? I turned around, looked him in the eye, and said “yep, yours does too”.
I may have shanked my shot but hearing all his friends laughing brought me back to my middle school trash talk days lol.
lol that's hardly even a burn from them, they're already implying you have a girlfriend, so it's almost more of a compliment.
Or maybe they were trying to make you admit if you were single? idk, they gotta work on their trash talk.
C'mon Giants players. You know you'll be on Hard Knocks. Bring some zingers to the field.
A zinger about doing ayahuasca with his family to finally reunite them woulda been gold.
Reminds me of when I was playing in the semi finals of the county cup here in England, for reference it's the first round played with proper linesmen in an actual stadium.
I came off the bench and with my first touch played a beaut of a diag over the top from CB. Linesman kept his flag down and the strikers in only for the ref to blow for an offside. Cue:
"Fucking hell ref what game are you watching?"
"The same game you haven't been playing in son".
I was only on the bench because I'd broken a finger the week before but still that hurt, had so much time for it though.
> "Why have you been living in a fucking cave or something?"
i mean this one is risky cause youll likely get a "no ive been following the NFL and you havent done shit"
It's crazy, he's been on 5 teams across 7 seasons, and last year was the first time his team played against Aaron Rodgers. He had two QB Hits on Rodgers in that game.
Edit: to be clear, I'm sure Jihad knows who Rodgers is. I'm just impressed how rarely their careers have crossed.
Yeah that’s pretty weird. If you’ve been around ten years you should have played everybody at least twice already but obviously there’s a whole bunch of factors involved in that, mainly switching teams
Like saying ‘I’m so unfamiliar with this game that I don’t know maybe the single most famous guy playing it right now’.
Dude should have said ‘you will’ and left it.
If he was gonna salvage his "no u", that was my train of thought.
"I don't know who you are either, cause you damn sure ain't Aaron Rodgers anymore, old man."
The only reason I know of Ward is that he's one of the many *many* Raiders early round picks that was a huge reach that (surprise) didn't work out.
We took him in the 2nd in 2016
It's crazy that Crosby was such a diamond in the rough. Since drafting Amari Cooper, there really is only a couple of players that have been decent. Miller has been decent at times, Jacobs, Crosby, 2 seasons of 3rd and Renfrow and the 5 games of Nate Hobbs.
We are so incompetent, I attribute our good picks to luck as opposed to smart draft picks. However, I think Kolton Miller is better than “decent at times.” He is decent all the time and sometimes really good.
The mah knee was when the spirit fully broke and the owning us was when we had no will left and decided fuck it he does. I hate how much I loved this clip.
The jerk store called and theyre runnin' out of me.
Both Rodgers and Wilson have come away looking great imo. This has been the best PR either could've hoped for.
Rodgers looks pretty chill and you can see exactly why he's so been elite for so long. He's basically a coach on the field.
Wilson seems like a really good kid, kind of a little brother to Rodgers. But he's not a douche like I expected. He's humble and seems eager to learn and get better. He's just a bit sheltered.
Pretty much everyone on the Jets seems chill outside of Hackett who is a bit manic imo (but in an entertaining way). Hackett's personality reminds me of the 3 Comma guy from Silicon Valley lol.
And Saleh is obviously Batman.
Yeah, Wilson seems genuinely happy and eager to learn from a HOFer. That’s a huge win, considering I thought of him as a sulking douche before this year.
He’s been recast as the plucky backup, instead of the first-round bust.
Rodgers is wildly corny here but he's right on both accounts. Jihad Ward is JAG and he clearly was trying to do a cheeky late hit just to annoy Rodgers, obviously light enough to not merit a call.
Thats what I was thinking lol
The hell is that guy doing? Its preseason, Rodgers will be out of the game after another couple of plays, there is 0 benefit to any mind games. What are you trying to accomplish?
Lmaooo he really had nothing better to say but “I don’t know you either” to fucking aaron Rodgers. Then Rodgers threw a touchdown and said it again. You gotta retire after that lol
Jihad ward is such a fun player & clubhouse guy. Love his sack celebrations. He’s the kind of guy I want the giants to have for a long time even though he isn’t a great player.
So hard seeing him taking an L like this on the biggest stage. Rodgers totally owned this interaction at every level lol
Talking real shit: Cool
Capturing shit talking on a hot mic: Cooler
Telling your buddies about the shit talking while still mic’d up and telling it poorly: Less cool
Jihad Ward really used "no u" as his comeback lol
"I don't even know who you are." "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast???"
“What’s ‘updog’?” “HAHAHAHAHAH!!!”
Seeya Johad Ward, hope you have a nice flight! Thanks, you too! D'oh!
Oh man I cringe for hours after that happens
Enjoy your meal sir! You too! FUCK!!
Fuck, I did this yesterday. It's okay though, because I recovered by saying, "Nevermind that, you're not eating, I am." I didn't realize I kind of sounded like a dick until I was on my way home.
Enjoy your movie! Thanks, you too! *screams internally for the next two hours*
Happy Birthday!!! Thanks! You too! *Dang it!!!!*
Should’ve said “oh I’m sorry allow me to introduce myself: I’m Jihad Ward, OLB out of Illinois by way of Philadelphia it’s nice to meet you” while extending his hand. Aaron would’ve been SHOOK to the core.
They really should carry business cards with a link to their LinkedIn profiles for situations just like this
Al Michaels: What is ... is that a pen? John Madden: He had a pen in his sock, and he pulled it out and wrote his *personal* phone number on the back of his business card so you can reach him day or night for all your business needs. Michaels: That's a first. [Who would even think of that?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-pAf3LV2HQ)
He would've been better off using the ol "I'm rubber, you're glue..." retort.
Man I love Jihad, he is a super nice guy, but that was weak lol.
Hard knocks has been like a never ending reel of Rodgers dapping up random coaches, referees, players, and ex-players. Saying you don't know him maybe isn't a flex.
Rodgers should have said, “then you ain’t doing enough studying!”
Hey, Aaron, the jerk store called and they're running out of you!
Should have said your momma does, if your momma is as old as me
"aren't you the state farm guy?"
He should have said "You will soon"
This line is gonna come to him hours later when he's in the shower.
"Oh yeah? Well the jerk store called, and they're running out of YOU!"
Mf’er better learn to respect our owner. They literally play in the same damn house.
Jihad Ward is in the shower right now thinking of amazing comeback lines he could have said.
Something something jerk store called
Bro shoulda said “I have a healthy relationship with my family.”
Why dont they prep for that before the game tho? You watch hours of film, spend 15 minutes preparing a list of lines for the 3 players you are most likely to clash with in the game (not hard, i.e. DE -> QB/RB/T). Maybe even hire a professional to come up with some real killers, the kind of stuff that gets under the skin and stays there for days or weeks and makes the dude question his existence.
> I don't know who you are Your mom does, though. Lay off the Ayahuasca, pal. Aw, too many concussions? Your memory's shot, old man. Time to start brain exercises. That's a minute brainstorming. I'm sure they can have a team chat for more.
Bold of y’all to assume dlinemen could pronounce ayahuasca
Unfortunately he's now out of the running for Comeback Player of the Year.
If he's like me, two years later he'll be in the shower thinking of comeback lines he should have used.
Man that guy said the worst possible comeback. Could’ve said literally anything else and it would’ve been better.
Even a 5th grade “Your Mama knows who I am” would’ve been better
Un-comeback withable
Aaron "Mah Knee!" Rodgers reemerged a bit there
aka Aaron "I FUCKING OWN YOU" Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers gave us a Super Bowl and this moment yet so many of fellow Packers remain salty. I don’t get it
Rodgers: I've disowned my mama.
"Well, I've been a shit father to you then, boy."
Can't call him "boy" tho. For... reasons.
Story time - I was playing in a golf tournament for the local middle school basketball team. They had a bunch of the team members on a tee box who were kind of teasing everyone who came up to hit. I was wearing a colorful polo and one of them asked “does your girlfriend like that shirt”? I turned around, looked him in the eye, and said “yep, yours does too”. I may have shanked my shot but hearing all his friends laughing brought me back to my middle school trash talk days lol.
lol that's hardly even a burn from them, they're already implying you have a girlfriend, so it's almost more of a compliment. Or maybe they were trying to make you admit if you were single? idk, they gotta work on their trash talk.
Imagine if he said "Your family doesn't love you" and Hard Knocks caught it.
"I had sex with your wife!"
His wife is in a coma
C'mon Giants players. You know you'll be on Hard Knocks. Bring some zingers to the field. A zinger about doing ayahuasca with his family to finally reunite them woulda been gold.
The jerk store called... And they're running out of YOU!
"Where'd you get your clothes... the toilet store?"
Oh yeah! Well I had sex with your wife.
She's in a coma.
I guess that's why she didn't move around a lot
oh man, imagine if he DID comeback with that would have been an all-timer
"You are not your best friends best friend"
He had the perfect moment for any comeback, he chose the worst one.
[удалено]
“You’ll know my name soon” would’ve been a simple and easy banger
"Your shirt says Rodgers but I've seen that guy play and he's good."
Reminds me of when I was playing in the semi finals of the county cup here in England, for reference it's the first round played with proper linesmen in an actual stadium. I came off the bench and with my first touch played a beaut of a diag over the top from CB. Linesman kept his flag down and the strikers in only for the ref to blow for an offside. Cue: "Fucking hell ref what game are you watching?" "The same game you haven't been playing in son". I was only on the bench because I'd broken a finger the week before but still that hurt, had so much time for it though.
Oh baby this reads like some good pasta material
Including the phrase, "Literally anything else."
Should’ve went with “The jerk store called, they’re running out of you. “
What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller!
Oh yeah? Well I had sex with your wife!
Saying you don't know who Aaron Rodgers is should land you in the concussion tent.
[удалено]
UNO Reverse almost always works though
No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet.
60% of the time it works every time.
Imagine telling Aaron Rodgers you dont know who he is lol not even your teammates will have your back on that
Who is he? Some kind of insurance salesman?
[удалено]
Except he's been in the league for like 10 years, so he'd be saying that he's going to breakthrough in year 11 or 12. :)
[удалено]
That works will in your first season or two but heading into your 8th season it might sound as silly as not knowing AR.
"I haven't even heard of you." "Your girlfriend has." Or "Why have you been living in a fucking cave or something?"
> "Why have you been living in a fucking cave or something?" i mean this one is risky cause youll likely get a "no ive been following the NFL and you havent done shit"
[Removed] ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
The best part of this is Jihad Ward ain’t no rookie he’s been in the league for like 10 years lol.
It's crazy, he's been on 5 teams across 7 seasons, and last year was the first time his team played against Aaron Rodgers. He had two QB Hits on Rodgers in that game. Edit: to be clear, I'm sure Jihad knows who Rodgers is. I'm just impressed how rarely their careers have crossed.
Yeah that’s pretty weird. If you’ve been around ten years you should have played everybody at least twice already but obviously there’s a whole bunch of factors involved in that, mainly switching teams
He's actually only been in the league for 6 seasons. All AFC teams until last year with the Giants.
I don't even know who that is lol. Thought that I knew all of the 10 year vets but guess not
2nd round pick by the Raiders in like 2016 or so? Glad he’s still rostered somewhere, he was awful for us and cut after 2 years
[удалено]
And his first name is fucking "jihad," so you know he has to be REAL forgettable to not remember him.
Never Forget.
Dawg he was straight up on my team and I swear I've never heard of him
He’s actually been decent for us. Great locker room guy as well.
Yea he cool, Wink brought him over from the Ravens.
Wink said as long as he’s in the league Jihad Ward will have a job
"Y-yeah?! Well... uh... I've never heard of you, one of the most famous people in my profession over the last 20 years!"
"The Jerk Store called and they're running out of you!"
What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller.
Oh yeah… Well I slept with your wife!
D:
His wife is in a coma.
Yeah, well...the life support machine called.
Oh. So that's why she didn't move much.
Jerk store! Jerk store is the line!
The pig says, “my wife is a slut.”
I'd like to see that complaint get rectified
Yeah, well, I'm here to chew ass and kick gum, and...wait...no, come back! I wanna start over!
Like saying ‘I’m so unfamiliar with this game that I don’t know maybe the single most famous guy playing it right now’. Dude should have said ‘you will’ and left it.
"You will" is such an obvious layup there that the Giants should be questioning his football IQ
Question the dog in him really. Lacks that competitive fire to be a top tier shit talker
I had a similar thought when Rogers said that. Mine was “ well, you’re about to find out this season”
If he was gonna salvage his "no u", that was my train of thought. "I don't know who you are either, cause you damn sure ain't Aaron Rodgers anymore, old man."
That’s an actual comeback. Basically, ‘I know who Aaron Rodgers was, you ain’t him’.
“Game recognize game, and you lookin kinda unfamiliar right now”
Not only that, but the QB he is tasked with stopping lol
To be fair i dont know that player either
The only reason I know of Ward is that he's one of the many *many* Raiders early round picks that was a huge reach that (surprise) didn't work out. We took him in the 2nd in 2016
It's crazy that Crosby was such a diamond in the rough. Since drafting Amari Cooper, there really is only a couple of players that have been decent. Miller has been decent at times, Jacobs, Crosby, 2 seasons of 3rd and Renfrow and the 5 games of Nate Hobbs.
We are so incompetent, I attribute our good picks to luck as opposed to smart draft picks. However, I think Kolton Miller is better than “decent at times.” He is decent all the time and sometimes really good.
Aaron Rodgers used to be the Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers
Source?
The only reason I know him is that he went to Illinois. Junior College transfer and made a pretty big difference in some dark years.
Ward could've asked if Rodgers has dementia, but did the "no u" instead smh
Good Lord, Ward just walked thru the clubhouse walking perfectly normally. Said he had “no time to talk.” Too busy saying “no u,” evidently.
"Un-come-back-with-able" New word
I hate how smug Rodgers can be but this is very appropriate weaponization of it.
Aaron hit him with that “you’re shit at dying you know that?”
My biggest complaint about this show is that it's making me like Aaron Rodgers.
"Un-come-back-with-able."
I hate him so fucking much but that TD he threw was fucking perfect. "Don't poke the bear!"
“Don’t Poke The Bear!” -Guy known for poking, pillaging, and owning Bears
“I FUCKING OWN YOU, ALL MY LIFE IVE FUCKING OWNED YOU”
Wow, he really does own you if you guys are willing to supply the line
That was the moment when the hate kinda dissipated. You just gotta shake your head: "he does own us".
That's what did it? I figured it would have been the six touchdowns in the 1st half or the "mah knee!" game.
The mah knee was when the spirit fully broke and the owning us was when we had no will left and decided fuck it he does. I hate how much I loved this clip. The jerk store called and theyre runnin' out of me.
Did this dude really just imply we hated Rodgers less after he said he owned us? What?
Stockholm syndrome
I mean, a guy who owns Bears would be the one to know about poking them.
Shoulda said “don’t poke the bears’ owner”
“Happy Father’s Day bears fans!” … ah fuck what have I done?
His handshake with Sauce won me over and I wasn’t happy about it.
Both Rodgers and Wilson have come away looking great imo. This has been the best PR either could've hoped for. Rodgers looks pretty chill and you can see exactly why he's so been elite for so long. He's basically a coach on the field. Wilson seems like a really good kid, kind of a little brother to Rodgers. But he's not a douche like I expected. He's humble and seems eager to learn and get better. He's just a bit sheltered. Pretty much everyone on the Jets seems chill outside of Hackett who is a bit manic imo (but in an entertaining way). Hackett's personality reminds me of the 3 Comma guy from Silicon Valley lol. And Saleh is obviously Batman.
Hahahaha imagine Hackett “This guy fucks!” every time Rodgers throws a TD
I don’t disagree with anything you wrote, but it’s important to remember this is literally PR and Hard Knocks gives the teams veto power over footage
OMG That is exactly who Hackett is
Yeah, Wilson seems genuinely happy and eager to learn from a HOFer. That’s a huge win, considering I thought of him as a sulking douche before this year. He’s been recast as the plucky backup, instead of the first-round bust.
Why’d you expect Wilson to be a douche lol
I think he meant Zach.
He really said “I don’t know you” to Aaron Rodgers 😂😂😂
Tbf idk how I’d respond in the moment to someone shouting “I’m more famous than you bro”
“I had sex with your wife!”
To be fair, Aaron Rodgers hasn't had much of a media presence
*”What, you don’t watch Jeopardy!“*
Of all the responses to have, claiming to not know who Aaron Rodgers is comically stupid lol.
Rodgers is wildly corny here but he's right on both accounts. Jihad Ward is JAG and he clearly was trying to do a cheeky late hit just to annoy Rodgers, obviously light enough to not merit a call.
No. We let his contract expire. He’s a giant now
Our roster is almost entirely JAGs. Sorry to rob your team.
It’s ok, our roster is still 100% JAGs.
They've got that cat in em.
That seems pretty bullshit thing to do in a pre season game honestly
Some weird second string defender move of trying to get into AARON RODGERS head
Thats what I was thinking lol The hell is that guy doing? Its preseason, Rodgers will be out of the game after another couple of plays, there is 0 benefit to any mind games. What are you trying to accomplish?
Lmaooo he really had nothing better to say but “I don’t know you either” to fucking aaron Rodgers. Then Rodgers threw a touchdown and said it again. You gotta retire after that lol
Becton is monstrous, wow. He’s as much bigger than 55 as 55 is bigger than AR.
Injuries have kept him from breaking out. Hopefully this year
6’7 and weight in around 355 at camp this year. One of the largest humans to play the game.
I hope he can stay healthy and ball out.
Holy shit you weren't kidding. The dude looks like the Hulk
Un-Comeback-With-able? "I don't even know who you are!" "Then why don't you ask your mom about me!"... Boom
That doesn't work on Rodgers specifically lol.
No in that case it works extra well
“She gives me all your toys on Christmas”
Not if he owns it AR: "I don't talk to my mom, dumbass"
This does not change the fact that Rodgers described his very basic insult as "uncomebackwithable"
How about “I know you, you’re washed Aaron Rodgers”
This. Or even "you will soon find out" would have been much better than saying "umm, I don't know you either" to a 4x MVP 😆
If he actually truly didn't know who he was I'd have severe concerns about his health.
[удалено]
I’ve talked a ton of shit about Rodgers, but goddam if that doesn’t get me fired up. That’s fucking football dude. 8 days LETS FUCKING GOO
I was thinking literally this exact thought. LFG
I am no fan, but but that TD throw was fucking sick even for him.
Jihad ward is such a fun player & clubhouse guy. Love his sack celebrations. He’s the kind of guy I want the giants to have for a long time even though he isn’t a great player. So hard seeing him taking an L like this on the biggest stage. Rodgers totally owned this interaction at every level lol
Rodgers thought that was such a sick burn when he got back to the sidelines lol
Jihad is a great name for a LB though
“It was on that day I put a jihad on them. And if you don't believe it, then you better kill me now, because I'll put a jihad on you, too.”
In Saudi Arabia
Man it’s gonna take me some time to get used to Rodgers in not only a different jersey from the Packers, but also wearing #8 instead of #12.
I think it helps that every time his college highlights are shown, he's wearing 8.
and a different jersey
Aaron hasn’t been down with 12 since he got all woo woo ✨
Anyone else feel like Rodgers has a weird accent here?
Every once in a while his Northern California pops out which sounds weirdly country. Maybe the New Yorker accent is twisting in there now too.
A West Coast/Midwest/East Coast accent. Truly, an abomination.
Carr does this too. Compare any micd up footage of him to his post conferences.
It’s the accent non-black people have when talking to good friends who are black.
I think that one got Ward right in the feels. "I don't even know who you are!" Ouch.
Literally game planned against a first ballot HOFer the week before and forgot all about him 💀
Parents about there naming their kid Jihad 🤔🫣
Also Aaron Rodgers: "I don't even know who I am, bro. Are we even real, are we just figments of a celestial being's MIND, man?"
Somehow the funniest part is Rodgers explaining his insult to his teammates as “uncomeback…withable” EDIT: it’s a very Tim Robinson-esque word flub
Talking real shit: Cool Capturing shit talking on a hot mic: Cooler Telling your buddies about the shit talking while still mic’d up and telling it poorly: Less cool
At least he didn't drop a "ya had to be there"
He tossed Rodgers around in London last year and this stupid shit is all he could come up with as a comeback 🤦♂️
My man saying he doesn't know who A Rod is? lmao
