Coach’ Tim Walz gets mocked for fumbling simple football term: ‘You don’t “run a pick 6

Tim Walz dropped a wide-open pass on NFL Sunday.

The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate livestreamed himself playing video games with Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in an appeal to younger male voters — only to be mocked after misusing a common football term.

Walz, a former defensive coordinator at Mankato West High School, tweeted afterward that the far-left Bronx and Queens rep “could run a mean pick 6” — referring to an interception returned for a touchdown — in the Madden video game series.

The post was later deleted, but not before conservatives jumped on the malapropism.

LOL Walz is a fruit, an obvious fruit, but he’s just trying so so hard to pretend to be a man but he just cant

[BigFreakinToad]

He doesn’t know D!ck about football, he just wanted to be in the boys locker room and sneak peeks in the shower.

Is it just me, or does AOC look like she’s gained a lot of weight or for some other reason looks really ‘puffy’?

Ms Kamunism did not want to pick someone who was smarter than her. Impeachment insurance.

[OKSooner]

It would appear so.

Do you think she just has not been to the clinic to be unburdened from what has been?

I was just wondering a few minutes ago what a ‘DEI Football Team’ would look like........I don’t have to wonder any more.......................

(LOL Walz is a fruit, an obvious fruit, but he’s just trying so so hard to pretend to be a man but he just cant)

I believe that’s accurate.

He keeps trying this stuff and it keeps blowing up in his face.

He should try singing the “Macho Macho Man!” line from The Village People.

It would better fit his style.

LOL

I don’t know; I just haven’t seem someone change so much in appearance in such a relatively short time. I’ve noticed it for a few weeks.

[rdl6989]

You’re right, she looks very bloated in that photo.

[Tell It Right]

Is it just me, or does AOC look like she’s gained a lot of weight or for some other reason looks really ‘puffy’?

IMHO she hasn't "gained a lot of weight". She's simply now in her mid-30's. IMHO her appearance is still good. It's her brain that's underwhelming.

[rlmorel]

I have come to that conclusion as well.

Coach or Water Boy?

[nickcarraway]

Huh? Has he ever watched football?

[1Old Pro]

So you call a pick 6 in the huddle?

[gw-ington]

Tampon Tim ... "tweeted afterward that the far-left Bronx and Queens rep [AOC] 'could run a mean pick 6.'"

No, if you were a true football expert like me, you'd know that Tampon Tim is spot-on with his football statement. I remember when I played football and helped our team win the state championship by tackling the opposing quarterback in the endzone for a 2-point cornerback. Believe me, Tampon Tim clearly knows his football and deserves to be Vice pResident (and future U.S. pResident).

Walz added that, “I like when my backfield is in motion…but I’m a knucklehead…a big gay knucklehead who was in the Army once and the Coast Guard two or three times”
