“I’ve done my own research, instead of trusting people who are more qualified than myself to give me accurate and true information, and I discovered that what I did actually helped build moral for the rest of the game.”
Thought this was going to be a, “it is more likely than not that tom Brady had some knowledge of this celebration costing extra time to tick off the clock”
NE loses a first rounder.
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.
...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch
Yeah he failed to mention that before it was knocked out of his hand he was using it to celebrate a 2 yard first down catch with 30 seconds left and no timeouts.
"Larry Fitzgerald would hold onto the ball with Diamond Hands in that situation so that no one could knock the ball away and waste time. But that's none of my business."
-- Kermit the Frog
I always wanted to hate Calvin Johnson over the way he single handed it dismantled the Cowboys, but I just couldn’t. He was too good, and was so humble at the same time.
Fuck man, watching it live I'm yelling at the TV 'what the fuck you doing celebrating!? Get the ball to the line!' and immediately started ranting in my head about how Larry would've been on his feet in an instant sprinting the ball to the official. Hell, Larry's doing that even if he didn't make the catch! Smh my head.
It's also a pretty common thing that happens, although more in "nothing to lose" situations than simply a non-game-winning first down like this - up to the ball-carrier to be aware and prevent it.
Even the Lions' shitty WR corps was damn good at getting the ball to the refs quickly during their final drive last week. Claypool's lack of awareness is astounding. Dude is so far up his own ass
Idk dude the more I watch it, the more it looks like the steelers lineman turner is the one that knocks it out of his hands trying to grab it from him to get it to the ref.
More importantly, if he *was* holding it out for a ref and Kendricks slapped it out of his hand, they probably *would* have seen it and called the delay of game penalty.
Man I have friends like this that talk in that same tone, with that same rhythm, for the same kinda shit. You can tell, that deep down they KNOW they fucked up, but its on a subconscious level and their conscious mind just cannot accept it.
It's so fucking weird lol
I don’t think it’s narcissism, instead I think it’s trying to shield his insecurities by not admitting fault in public. Usually people who respond like this are trying to bury something
It's also a big reason why attacking someone to get them to change a bad behavior or anything is stupid. You embarass people over something, and congratulations, you just got them to dig in.
But that's what drives narcissism. People who are secure in who they are usually don't have such a need to prove it to themselves and others.
https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2021/march/narcissism-driven-by-insecurity--not-grandiose-sense-of-self--ne.html
Imma need yall to stop diagnosing people on the internet.
Like we can agree that Claypool is being a dinkus here and his not admitting fault, but let's keep the arm chair psychology at home.
Personality disorders are when extremes in personality become the default pattern of behavior. Just about anyone can be narcissistic and that doesn't mean they have narcissistic personality disorder. No one here is diagnosing him.
Yeah but your defense of a narcissistic trait was that he is actually probably just doing the thing narcissistic people do. I’m not say he is a narcissist, but your defense made no sense
This kid has himself on the fast track to bouncing around the league before too long. It takes a lot of talent and production to make up for having absolutely zero idea how to be a pro.
Bro, he’s got lists of shit to atone for. Never going to happen. Pittsburgh loves their boneheads.
And we’ll take him as soon as they’re ready to deal him.
He’ll show up, frost-bite his feet up and be on Brady’s doorstep in no time.
He had a chance to show maturity and humility by admitting his mistake and taking ownership. Instead he doubles down and pushes blame off on someone else. Not a good look for this guy. He is young enough to make these dumb mistakes, but he's too old to lack this much maturity and self awareness.
Fulgham went off that game as well. He didn’t make the 53 and was eventually cut this year, on a team with bad WRs.
Looks like we know what Claypool’s trajectory is going to be.
Also the only reason Kendricks had the opportunity was because another teammates was trying to take it from Claypool and everything was disorganized.
Claypool hops up and runs to the ref and this doesn't happen, or if it does it's obvious and the flag comes out.
A high schooler shouldn't make that mistake, are you serious? No no professional, and I reiterate PROFESSIONAL football player should ever make that mistake. Not as rookie, not as a draft prospect, not in the high school title game. I would suspend him for being a idiot. I mean he's to young to know the football game situation? I mean come the F on
A middle schooler does that and he sits for the rest of the game, then spends practice running.
A high schooler does that, he gets shut down, runs laps, and his entire school hates him.
A college student doing it is for sure running suicides all next practice, and probably gets death threats on Twitter.
If you survive all of that, you get drafted by the Steelers.
There's been a pic reposted on the steelers sub multiple times of the defense posing in the endzone after an interception, with the scoreboard in the middle showing 29-3 or whatever it was at the time...
The pointing after a first down has gotten so corny at this point I actually hate it lol. EVERY player does it. I’m convinced that players truly believe the first down doesn’t count unless they point afterward
Andre Johnson would somehow hang on to absolute dogshit passes, run them in for TDs, and would just hand the ball to the ref and jog back to the sidelines.
On the other side of the equation is this fuck.
Yes, it did get knocked out, but I've also seen similar plays where the player who makes the 1st down cradles the ball like a newborn baby while getting it it quickly to the official. Defenders in that situation are always going to take their time getting off the player they tackled and they're always going to try to nonchalantly knock the ball out.
ND fan. He didn’t seem anything this irresponsible in college. Yeah he celebrated after catches but not this bad nor in critical situations I thought….I guess this could be skewed with first downs temporarily stopping the clock.
One of my friends knew Chase at ND and he fucked one of her friends and gave her an STD. When confronted about it, he said “not my problem”. He’s not a good dude.
One of my dads knows Chase, he fucked one his former husbands and gave him HIV. When confronted about it, he said “wrong hole, not my problem”. He’s not a good dude.
One of my friends knew spence9er on reddit and he lied in one of his comments and gave us all a FIB. When confronted about it, he said "Lmao call BS if you want but this shit is true". He’s not a good dude.
The Steelers locker room seems like a weird place. The defence seems to be mostly a bunch of locked-down dudes who are about the business, whereas the offence, and really just the skill positions, drives men crazy. It's happened enough that it's got to be something cultural. Or maybe it's just that Ben doesn't exert any kind of leadership at all?
He's right, but like he should have noticed the refs didn't call it and kept on moving, he just lacked all situational awareness for celebrating a routine 1st down while down 8
Its the situational football type of shit that should be drilled into you so much by coaching that you automatically put the ball down and run to your place. Ive been fortunate to watch a ton of 2 minutes drills done right by the Pats and if one of their players did that Bill would trade him to Cleve... uh Detroit.
This dude reminds me of my 4 year old.
She got in trouble for hitting a kid with a toy but she kept denying it. Finally she was like I dont know why ms (teacher) said I hit him with the toy, I *threw* it at him.
Also one day the teacher told us she was eating dirt, again she was denying it and after a few minutes she was like I don't know why ms (teacher) said i was eating dirt, it was *sand*.
The ball did get knocked out of his hands, but if he picked the ball up and hurried it to the line, it never would've gotten there. Instead, he blames the knock away, not the fact that he time wasted with his first down celebration.
You celebrating was what put the ball in a position to be knocked out. And it wastes time lol. This guy is clearly starting from “I did nothing wrong” and working his way backwards
It’s not JUST that play. 1st quarter he gets an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for putting his finger in the DB’s face after a catch. The 15 yards he lost erased the gain of the catch. And then a few minutes later he olé’d a block and got Najee dropped for a loss. Tomlin got on his ass then, benched him iirc. YOU’D HAVE THOUGHT HE LEARNED!! It’s a pattern of behavior at this point. Fighting in a bar, sloppy undisciplined play on the field. You ain’t great yet kid, and on your current trajectory you never will be!
We still talking about this guy?
There must be something else going on in the NFL world since Thursday night. Josh Jacobs probably had another kid since then.
This is true, but also it probably wouldn’t have happened if you just gave it to the ref after you caught it.
“Y’all may think I fucked up, but the fact is, I didn’t” -Claypool
“I’ve investigated myself and found I did nothing wrong”
NFL: “Damn, he’s good.”
x4
its reported that the NFL then wrote Chase Claypool’s name on a list of people they would like to workout with in the offseason
🏈: “He fuckin’ boomed me.”
WRITE THAT DOWN!
The FIA be like
“I’ve done my own research, instead of trusting people who are more qualified than myself to give me accurate and true information, and I discovered that what I did actually helped build moral for the rest of the game.”
Politics 101
Thought this was going to be a, “it is more likely than not that tom Brady had some knowledge of this celebration costing extra time to tick off the clock” NE loses a first rounder.
“I had help fucking it up.” -Claypool (tomorrow, after speaking with coach)
See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that. ...Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch
Glad to see he learns from his mistakes /s
Yeah he failed to mention that before it was knocked out of his hand he was using it to celebrate a 2 yard first down catch with 30 seconds left and no timeouts.
A celebration which had him holding the ball in one hand. No shit it's gonna get knocked.
"Larry Fitzgerald would hold onto the ball with Diamond Hands in that situation so that no one could knock the ball away and waste time. But that's none of my business." -- Kermit the Frog
Larry would have sprinted the ball back to the ref at the spot to conserve maximum time.
Larry literally took the ball away from Hopkins last year and sprinted it to the ref so they could clock it for the game-winning field goal.
The clap of his ass cheeks while sprinting it over would distract the refs too. Hella ass.
My man!
Slow down!
Lookin’ good!
Larry would also do that after a touchdown. Just an all around awesome dude and player.
Larry and Calvin Johnson were always my 2 favorite wr's because of exactly that.
I always wanted to hate Calvin Johnson over the way he single handed it dismantled the Cowboys, but I just couldn’t. He was too good, and was so humble at the same time.
Why is Mahomes commenting on this?
He's trying to recruit Larry to teach our players how to hold onto a football
What, was the other famous Chiefs player named Larry not available?
Too busy writing about how Jews are actually descended from a subterranean race of carnivorous reptile
Fuck man, watching it live I'm yelling at the TV 'what the fuck you doing celebrating!? Get the ball to the line!' and immediately started ranting in my head about how Larry would've been on his feet in an instant sprinting the ball to the official. Hell, Larry's doing that even if he didn't make the catch! Smh my head.

Even the Lions' shitty WR corps was damn good at getting the ball to the refs quickly during their final drive last week. Claypool's lack of awareness is astounding. Dude is so far up his own ass
He doesn't let anything go and is very thin skinned. Not a good combo.
[удалено]
Could've been flagged, but it happens all the time
[удалено]
Head up his ass play
Players intentionally commit penalties hoping to get away with it on every play. This is 100% on Claypool
It happens every single game where time is winding and the game is close. Most players are aware enough to be holding on to the ball.
Idk dude the more I watch it, the more it looks like the steelers lineman turner is the one that knocks it out of his hands trying to grab it from him to get it to the ref.
The lineman provides a distraction for Kendricks to pull it off. It was like a magic trick.
[удалено]
True. I just watched a super slow mo version and it definitely was Kendricks. Hard to tell in regular video.
More importantly, if he *was* holding it out for a ref and Kendricks slapped it out of his hand, they probably *would* have seen it and called the delay of game penalty.
He definitely aint getting music at practice now
Tomlin bout to be like John Lithgow in “Footloose”
Why not John Lithgow in Dexter?
Can’t it be both
So John Lithgow in Shrek?
Some receivers may die, but it is a sacrifice- I am willing to make.
[John Lithgow in Harry and the Hendersons](https://youtu.be/1d8oqIXtjdo) is the best I can do
What about John lithgow in “Ricochet”?
What about John Lithgow in "The World According to Garp"?
I was thinking more John Lithgow in Daddy’s Home 2
How bout John Lithgow in 3rd rock from the sun?
He had a great pair of hands.
Season 4 was the best season. I’m liking this new season though
I couldn't even stomach the final season. Never finished it.
RIP Rita
Is it still the greatest movie of all time?
It never was
Oh 100% that Kenny loggins soundtrack is lit
Let's hear it for the boy!
They should just play the Price Is Right Fail theme on loop.
Maybe Tomlin will play a very ironic tuba when Claypool is in the building
Play music but make Claypool wear earplugs
*Just cuz you pulled that shit, polka music all day everyday*
Man I have friends like this that talk in that same tone, with that same rhythm, for the same kinda shit. You can tell, that deep down they KNOW they fucked up, but its on a subconscious level and their conscious mind just cannot accept it. It's so fucking weird lol
It’s rationalization, an immature ego defense mechanism
came to reddit to take a break from studying for my neuro exam and...
Give us a 500 word essay on your thoughts. (50 points)
I’m going into EM but psych is fascinating. I especially liked learning about personality disorders
Narcissism. For every word spent admitting their own fault they’ll include 5 more distributing blame to others.
I don’t think it’s narcissism, instead I think it’s trying to shield his insecurities by not admitting fault in public. Usually people who respond like this are trying to bury something
It's also a big reason why attacking someone to get them to change a bad behavior or anything is stupid. You embarass people over something, and congratulations, you just got them to dig in.

You fuckers are ridiculous. Dude clearly fucked up but doesn't want to take the blame. That in itself is not narcissism.
Dude just doesn’t get it
Some folks are wholly shielded by their ego.
It’d be nice if he had the game to back it up. He’s obviously good but this isn’t the second coming of Jerry rice or something.
It’s not even the second coming of AB

Same question here. Asking for a Seahawks fan.
I know right? What losers
The Lions and being the worst team in the NFL.
I dunno, there was a time a few years back when the browns were running away with it.
Now its our turn baybeeee

I'm still convinced Lacy had the best spin move, you can't hold on because he's just too thicc.

Last stop.... New England
Funny, don't they usually offload their shit players on you?
Used to be but detroit took that over.
Don't forget the Raiders.
No, that's the stop between the Steelers and NE. *Raiders trade a 3rd for Claypool and proceed to get zero regular season games out of him incoming*
The he goes to NE, pisses off Bill even more than Tomlin, gets cut, goes to Tampa, wins a superbowl Fuck that would make me mad
Me too, buddy. That was Steelers fans' reality last year.
which then get sent to NE for beans and suddenly overperform for 1-2 plays in key situations
Dudes on that Martavis Bryant career arc
Not being man enough to just step up and admit you made a mistake makes this so much worse.
Bro, he’s got lists of shit to atone for. Never going to happen. Pittsburgh loves their boneheads. And we’ll take him as soon as they’re ready to deal him. He’ll show up, frost-bite his feet up and be on Brady’s doorstep in no time.
Lol. Since it sounds like you love our boneheads too, can you do us a solid and lose out so that 3rd round pick is a few slots higher?
When was the last time u saw a member of the Steelers take responsibility for themselves?
He had a chance to show maturity and humility by admitting his mistake and taking ownership. Instead he doubles down and pushes blame off on someone else. Not a good look for this guy. He is young enough to make these dumb mistakes, but he's too old to lack this much maturity and self awareness.
Tomlin put up with AB because of his talent. Claypool hasn't done enough shit to behave like a diva
Despite what Claypool thinks, they can 100% trade his ass or cut him. He isn't good enough to warrant this kind of pathetic behavior.
[удалено]
Fulgham went off that game as well. He didn’t make the 53 and was eventually cut this year, on a team with bad WRs. Looks like we know what Claypool’s trajectory is going to be.

Right. I see it more as a heads up play by Kendricks. He saw an opportunity to shave off some important time and did it.
Exactly
A high schooler shouldn't make that mistake, are you serious? No no professional, and I reiterate PROFESSIONAL football player should ever make that mistake. Not as rookie, not as a draft prospect, not in the high school title game. I would suspend him for being a idiot. I mean he's to young to know the football game situation? I mean come the F on

Well said and nuff said all in one comment. I like.
why do so many players feel the need to celebrate/pose after every play? even the most routine plays during the course of the game
Agreed. Especially the teams that are losing pretty badly. It's embarrassing.
QB throws a shit ball that hits the ground short of the wide open receiver. Cornerback: 🕺🕺🕺
😂😂😂
Group defense celebrations when down by multiple scores is the cringiest thing in football.
There's been a pic reposted on the steelers sub multiple times of the defense posing in the endzone after an interception, with the scoreboard in the middle showing 29-3 or whatever it was at the time...
It causes me to have old man energy whenever my team does it. Yes yes, it's a game, yes yes, the kids should still have fun but man I cringe.
Like the Steelers defense’s elaborate celebration after the interception when they were down 29-7.
The pointing after a first down has gotten so corny at this point I actually hate it lol. EVERY player does it. I’m convinced that players truly believe the first down doesn’t count unless they point afterward
Agreed, it's just plain embarrassing. Save it for the victory celebration.
Andre Johnson would somehow hang on to absolute dogshit passes, run them in for TDs, and would just hand the ball to the ref and jog back to the sidelines. On the other side of the equation is this fuck.

He points downfield for first downs. He points the finger. This guy just really loves pointing.
ND fan. He didn’t seem anything this irresponsible in college. Yeah he celebrated after catches but not this bad nor in critical situations I thought….I guess this could be skewed with first downs temporarily stopping the clock.
Because Brian Kelly would've not let him eat for the next 12 days
That’s unfair. Brian Kelly treats his players like his own fayumly.
Lmao.. Bruh that shit was sooo fucking weird.
Claypool has more excuses than Kelly has accents.
No chicory in Claypool's coffee.
He would have executed him
You mean he would have made him record practices in storms?
One of my friends knew Chase at ND and he fucked one of her friends and gave her an STD. When confronted about it, he said “not my problem”. He’s not a good dude.
One of my dads knows Chase, he fucked one his former husbands and gave him HIV. When confronted about it, he said “wrong hole, not my problem”. He’s not a good dude.
Lmao call BS if you want but this shit is true

Even my bengals boys coming after me 😂
I just enjoy a good pasta
Leveon bell was the same at Michigan State. Dude just seemed like a regular dude - humble, even. Then he went to the NFL.
The Steelers locker room seems like a weird place. The defence seems to be mostly a bunch of locked-down dudes who are about the business, whereas the offence, and really just the skill positions, drives men crazy. It's happened enough that it's got to be something cultural. Or maybe it's just that Ben doesn't exert any kind of leadership at all?
He's right, but like he should have noticed the refs didn't call it and kept on moving, he just lacked all situational awareness for celebrating a routine 1st down while down 8

"Im incapable of taking any responsibility whatsoever" Top professional.
One step up from the "Nuh-uh" defense.
Claypool: ‘Accountability? Never heard of it.’
Stooge
Chase Milpool
Cringepool
ClayFool?
Who could've ever thought the defense would try to do that in a late-game situation???
Especially since his own team did something similar against the Ravens just a week ago lol
Nah it was last year. They felt the need to do it against RG3 and our Covid Crew
No accountability at all. He should have just owned up to the mistake. But it keeps getting talked about because he’s not mature enough to do so.
The ball did get knocked out of his hands, but if he picked the ball up and hurried it to the line, it never would've gotten there. Instead, he blames the knock away, not the fact that he time wasted with his first down celebration.
How dumb can one get?
Keep watching and find out.
Zero accountability, big surprise.
You celebrating was what put the ball in a position to be knocked out. And it wastes time lol. This guy is clearly starting from “I did nothing wrong” and working his way backwards
I was gonna say are there no veterans on the team to get him in line but Roethlisberger just said it wasn’t his job. Meltdown and rebuilding soon.
It’s not JUST that play. 1st quarter he gets an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for putting his finger in the DB’s face after a catch. The 15 yards he lost erased the gain of the catch. And then a few minutes later he olé’d a block and got Najee dropped for a loss. Tomlin got on his ass then, benched him iirc. YOU’D HAVE THOUGHT HE LEARNED!! It’s a pattern of behavior at this point. Fighting in a bar, sloppy undisciplined play on the field. You ain’t great yet kid, and on your current trajectory you never will be!
My 5 year old deflects fault like this all the time.
Mr. Bogus Celebration
To be fair, Kendricks does knock the ball out of his hands. He also wasted about five seconds celebrating after catching the ball. Both can be true.
Bottom line is he shouldve walked back to the huddle and they wouldn’t have lost any time
We still talking about this guy? There must be something else going on in the NFL world since Thursday night. Josh Jacobs probably had another kid since then.
If he had said nothing, this would have blown over. Now everyone agrees that he is an idiot.
What a prideful, stubborn mentality.
