"You don’t just walk into this joint and push a man like Blaine Gabbert around, no sir. His parents named him "Blaine" to make him strong, like "A Boy Named Sue" or huge linemen named "Herman" or "Lesley." Also, the first-time starter had the privilege of playing against an extremely poorly coached team with no clear answer at running back, an ongoing and overtaxed enigma by the name of Juice Williams, and [NAME REDACTED} trying to spin plates at head coach. This all ends in broken crockery and you know it, so yes, let's repeat: 319 yards and 3 TDs in his first start for "Blaine." Name your son something effeminate, and he will turn into the biggest asskicker on the block. (Or become a transsexual bartender/ess. Life is gambling and gambling is life.)"
From the unparalleled Orson Swindle. That's certainly an interesting way to put it.

This too
In describing those teams that played cupcakes…
Three of the top five teams played teams pulled from the bin labeled "Puppies To Be Kicked Into Incinerators."
Damn those puppies to hell!

Great to see more transphobia from the football press. I get that football is mostly a macho thing, but can we at least try to be a smidge inclusive?

Not real sure that transphobia is what Orson was trying to insinuate...
…but then again, I can only read it through my eyes.

Eh
Your point is generally well taken, but his line does sorta work.
If you think about the type of person who names their kid something effeminate in order to try to make them an ass kicker. They probably would consider a transgender bartender to be a system shock, and not at all what they wanted… making it a successfully ironic outcome.

I think Blaine has more of a '90210' feel to it
than transgender. Transgender would be more along the lines of Pat, or Gene. Blaine screams “pretty boy” with “male authenticity”.
C’mon, BLAINE GABBERT isn’t going to going to ask you if you want fries with that. BLAINE GABBERT isn’t going to give you correct change at the bank. With a name like BLAINE GABBERT , he is destined to loot and pillage on the athletic field of his choosing, then drive away in his fancy new Camaro with the hottest woman in sight. BLAINE GABBERT OWNS YOU.

I'm just mad at Blaine Dalton...
…otherwise we’d have seamlessly gone from two Chases to two Blaines…both quite 90210ish overall…

Your reference to Blanie
Is a little bit lame.
Are you insane?
I mean no disdain?
But I must exclaim,
Do you think the possible rain
Can cause 70,000 to complain
And in some way refrain
From attending the first home game?
Thank you.
