I have to say, I don’t like the version of of Eli Drinkwitz we saw during most of the 2021 season. I can’t relate to him. He makes $4 million dollars a year. He hangs out with future NFL players. He drinks far too much Diet Coke for my taste. But most of all, he is not helplessly, terminally online.
But this version of Eli Drinkwitz? The one who says stuff like, “when you sew jackass, you reap jackass,” trolls opposing coaches with plastic props, gets on Twitter after big wins and is terminally online? That’s a guy who I can respect, if only because he recognizes the farcical nature of his own job and leans way the hell in.
