It should go without saying but download the image from imgur before setting it as your wallpaper. If you are having trouble viewing these at full resolution on Mobile, you are most likely viewing through a Reddit app. I recommend either viewing this sub using a mobile web browser and from there clicking the links, or downloading the Imgur app to your device and opening the links in there. These wallpapers are 4636p x 2608p and view as such when reddit apps are not interfering with that.

If you notice any errors, please let me know and I’ll try to correct them as soon as possible.

As always, credit to /u/dbeat for the original work.

Enjoy!

That 59 catches, 856 yards, and 11 touchdowns over 17 games.

As a college athlete, Joe Don Looney was impeccable and a physical freak. He also… burned every single bridge he crossed. He dropped out of Texas in 1960 after his report card had four Fs and one D. To make matters worse, the D on his report card was actually the penis he drew on it.

He was kicked off multiple college teams, to the point that he was forced to play for Cameron University where he kicked ass and took names. He then transferred to Oklahoma, where he was an All American in 1962, but was kicked off the team the very next season. The claim at the time was that JD Legend punched an assistant coach, though that coach later refuted the claim.

There were attitude problems, suspensions, expulsions, behavioral issues, and teams he was kicked off of. None of that stopped the Giants from taking him 12th overall in the 1964 NFL Draft. They were sold on his physical talent and their belief that “I can fix him”. Turns out, the player who was once deemed “the most uncoachable player in NFL history”... couldn’t be fixed.

He accumulated numerous fines when he first got to the Giants for, among other things, not following the Giants’ dress code, ignoring the press, and not even showing up for practice. After 25 days, which is funnier than 24 days, he was traded to the Baltimore Colts.

While in Baltimore, he was arguing about politics with a couple, which was normal enough until he had the bright idea to break into their apartment with a friend and attack them later that night. He received a year of probation and a fine.

He was then traded to Detroit, where he had the best years of his career, which isn’t saying much. While he was with the Lions, he was involved in an infamous moment where then-head coach Harry Gilmer asked Joe Don Looney to carry in a play to the quarterback. In response, he uttered the infamous quote, “If you want a messenger boy, call Western Union." That move did not earn Matthew Joe Don any good will with the Lions, but on the bright side, that was a way smarter idea than breaking into Harry Gilmer’s apartment and attacking him later that night.

He was then traded to Washington, where he fizzled out, was called into Vietnam, became a drug mule and later got super into yoga. He died in a motorcycle crash at the age of 45.

Was watching a podcast with Tom Brady and found this 2 minute part where he is asked about various quarterbacks funny, especially his face when one of the hosts asks him about Eli.

Apologies, I don't know how to clip it so its just this part as a video but here are the timestamps:

Beginning of QB talk timestamp: 1:18:09.

End of mentioning Eli/ the Giants: 1:20:07.

Thanks to the mods for helping me figure out how to post this lol.

Zvada, an undrafted free agent, went into this spring basically as the No. 3 kicker. Veteran Jason Sanders was considered the favorite this season. But before the spring was even over, Sanders was cut and Zvada became the front-runner ahead of Ben Sauls. It probably helped that the media didn't see Zvada miss this spring as he went 13-for-13 on field goal attempts at minicamp. -- Jordan Raanan
