The Unlikely Accusation
In a bizarre turn of events, Brandon Walker, the notorious college football aficionado, has seen fit to label me as “sensitive.” This coming from a man who has built a reputation on being hot-headed and quick to take offense.
A World Upside Down
We live in a world where the once-scorned are now raking in millions, billionaires are blasting off into space for kicks, and Brandon Walker is calling me sensitive. The same Brandon Walker who burst into tears on a live stream when his beloved Mississippi State Bulldogs lost a midseason game. It’s a reality that’s hard to wrap your head around.
A Shot Across the Bow
The comment that sparked this reaction came across my radar late last night, courtesy of a tweet. At first, I gave Jeff D. Lowe props for showing respect to the great Dante Bichette. But then I couldn’t help but think about how ridiculous Brandon’s statement was. It wasn’t eating away at me, but it was one of those things that made me go, “What the heck?”
A History of Pleasant Interactions
My interactions with Brandon over the years have been largely pleasant, albeit casual. I’ve always complimented him on his impressive shoe game. The only time things got slightly tense was when I tried to line up a bunch of former WWF/WWE wrestlers to come by the office for his podcast, and he ignored my friend Mojo and me. But I chalked it up to him being busy making millions for Dave and the company.
The Pot Calling the Kettle…
However, Brandon’s accusation of me being sensitive is laughable. This is a man who gets worked up over SEC rankings, rage-quits group chats, and throws tantrums so often that HR has a file dedicated to his weekly meltdowns. And yet, he’s calling me sensitive? That’s rich.
A Lifestyle of Feelings-First
Brandon lives and dies with every down, every tweet, and every perceived slight. Maybe his perspective is warped, but for him to project his feelings-first lifestyle onto me is absurd. It’s not the message, it’s the messenger. If someone with thick skin like White Sox Dave was calling me soft, that would be one thing. But Brandon? Please.
A Final Thought
In a strange twist of irony, I’m writing 1,000 words about disagreeing with being called sensitive. But hey, when you’re dealing with someone as hypocritical as Brandon, you’ve got to set the record straight.
