I think all NFL fans were cheering on Hinton that day. I know I let out a whoop when he finally got a completion. Nothing but respect for him. It was also gratifying to see he had himself a respectable career as receiver afterwards. I do honestly get annoyed when fans/other youtubers try to say some NFL QB "can't play quarterback". The reality is that if you can make an NFL roster even as a third stringer, you're better at QB than almost every person on the planet. It just so happens the chasm between "I can make a roster" and "I can win superbowls" as QB is incredibly vast.

I see the BetterHelp scam is back. How long until we start getting Established Titles videos on this site again?

The only thing Established Titles did wrong was assume that you knew what a gag gift was. I'm sure they had meetings like, "Should we warn people in our ads that they won't be able to conduct felony trials on their 1 sq ft of scottish wilderness? Nah. We don't want to insult their intelligence." But that's impossible. There's no floor to this thing. The internet has vaporized a century's worth of critical thinking skills. When I read youtube comments now, I feel like a plague doctor that keeps spotting boils on people in the market. I hope it's just burns or blisters from peasant activities. But it's not. It's rat fever.

[@BeastOfMetal1989]

I saw a "Where are they now" video from Scott Shafer on Established Titles late last year. Galton Voysey has basically buried them and Kamikoto Knives in favor of knockoff silverware lines, and don't seem to advertise even that stuff much on KZbin. Right now, BetterHelp, Temu and HelloFresh/Factor (the last of which has almost as many OSHA violations as meal kits in their warehouses) seem to be the major scourges...oh, and sports books in this specific space, but you need to attack them from different angles. (Most sports KZbinrs aren't going to think twice about something the leagues themselves are pushing, at least right now.)

As a Panthers fan I remember the time we had CMC getting ready to come on the field as QB because all of our backups were injured and the starter, I believe Darnold at the time, had just had to go into the blue tent to get checked out. They were putting the mic in his helmet and everything, then at the last second Darnold was cleared and it was all called off. It would have been awesome to see CMC play as QB, if even for just one play. He had already threw for a TD before in a trick play. Being the only Panther to ever have a rushing, receiving, and passing TD in the same year! Plus he's like 4-0 total in passing on trick plays.
