New England Patriots defensive end Michael Bennett invoked the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie “Black Panther” during his player intro on “Sunday Night Football.”

During the introduction of the Patriots defensive starters, where players typically state their name and the college they went to, Bennett opted for a different idea.

“Michael Bennett, Wakanda Forever!” Bennett shouted, crossing his arms to emulate the salute given by characters in the movie.

Integrity? ‘eff that! What da’ hell is that? Druggies, thuggies and wife beaters unite! It’s all about the Ws, baby. Sign ‘em and play ‘em until they self-destruct and then dump ‘em. Just meat on the hoof...

Sort of like that hilarious Kwanzaa thing?

Exactly like that. I am not minimizing black Americans role in our collective culture and history, but things like this are merely aiming at separatism

Well, he is an adult getting paid ludicrous sums to play a children’s game.

His IQ exactly matched the target audience.

The burning question is which is greater? Michael Bennett’s I.Q. or his current jersey number? I would bet on the “under”.

Thanks :)

Interesting.

As far as increasing profits, I’m not a fan of Thursday night games.

But then I have lost so much interest in a sport i loved only a few years ago.

Don’t know if it’s because of the antics.

I lost interest in casinos and I LIVED for those for many years.

I guess even at 51 priorities can change.

Plus being a Jet fan DOES KILL your love of the sport :)

Being a Lions fan does that to you, as well.

I started following Jets at about 12 years old.

Then when I got to 20 I joked I would never see them IN a superbowl, no less win one.

Then I joked again in my 30s.

Then my 40s.

Now I’m 51 and it’s looking all too real.

He’s actually very smart with his money....in a way

He saves his checks and lives off budgeted money made from earnings from before

He deposits at the end of season

About 60 million gross so probably 40 million in his pocket after agent and tax

He misses interest which is substantial but it does show fiscal restraint

He is from Louisiana and Houston

His mother had five kids by aged 20

He’s got decent common sense but he’s known as mercurial
