I have to say, Barry was absolutely the most fun to watch.
I know I’ll catch crap for this but if you forget what jersey he worse, I LOVED watching Brandon Jacobs. That dude would search defenders out and absolutely steam roll them. His highlights are some of my favorites, absolute destruction.

I have to say I consider Emmitt to be the best of all time. I just know I'm in the minority. Few people agree with me on the subject. I'm sure the number increases on a fan message board but even people on this message board don't think Emmitt was a home run hitter. Emmitt hit plenty of home runs, he was just being compared to Sanders at the time. But go back and watch his highlight reel and it is impressive.

As a Giant, I had to hate him. But as big bruisers go, I kinda liked Mike Alstott. He just looked like a human battering ram.

I'm in complete agreement regarding Emmitt. I was just always amazed at Barry's balance and ability to bounce into whatever hole opened up.

Marion Barber. Earl Campbell. murray always fumbled at the worst times, like the packers playoff game. But that game when murray layed our the eagles defensive end and kept going was one of my favorites.

The horror! NFL athletes smoking weed is abominable. Somebody should do something. :rolleyes:

Everyone turn on your sarcasm sensors.

Zeke smoking weed and playing video games is the least of our worries. I would much rather he be doing that, then out at a club or wherever.

I didn't realize how good he is at COD. I have watched some of his streams on Twitch (because that and YouTube are where a lot of my fellow furries do livestreams, along with some other platforms like TikTok and Discord).

I'm all for the legalization of marijuana and couldn't care less if he partakes but, man, this guy cannot stay out of the headlines. It is always something with him. He makes quite a few dumb decisions. Why the hell is he live-streaming while he's high? Pretty stupid and immature.

Idk about the high part, but it is actually common among people my age (Zeke's a few years younger than I am) to live stream playing video games. Believe it or not, you can actually make a fair amount of side money doing that. If you're good enough at a video game on Twitch, you can actually become a pro-gamer and make some significant money in doing so. Esports is a surprisingly lucrative sports market. Those and international game tournaments make crazy money and are crazy competitive. Zeke would have the competitive streak for it being an NFL player. Plus, streaming and watching game streaming is very fun, especially if the streamer is entertaining, which Zeke is.

I have a few friends in the fandom that actually make more streaming gameplay than they do their current jobs, and they have jobs that pay well. Also, depending on how lucrative your streams are and/or your patrons are, you can actually get invited as a guest of honor and/or a panelist to cons. In Zeke's case, it'd likely be a comic convention like Comic-Con in San Diego where they have a lot of gaming panels according to furries I know that go to Comic-Con. Someone of Zeke's status should have no problem adding to his bank account with what streaming on Twitch or YouTube can provide. Some of it is from advertisements (which Zeke would do probably), and some of it is from Patrons. I am planning on becoming a YouTuber whenever I get my suit in, so this is all info I have learned from other furries that I know that are big on both of these platforms.

More than 170 Universities offer college scholarships in video game playing. (UC Irvine won the Call of Duty championship, which I didn't know existed). I've been working very, very hard to keep that information away from my 12 year old.

I am planning on becoming a YouTuber whenever I get my suit in, so this is all info I have learned from other furries that I know that are big on both of these platforms.

In fact, with Zeke being an NFL player and given that he's probably gained pretty sizeable following on Twitch for his gameplay, I think he would be someone a lot of gaming conventions and comic conventions would list as a panelist and/or guest of honor. The guests of honor and panelists are a huge draw for cons depending on who the panelist or guest of honor is. So it's important that the cons are careful as to who they select, and they usually pay for the travel and lodging of the panelists and guests of honor (which is part of the reason for the cost to attend conventions). Think of the actors for a huge blockbuster movie such as, in the case of Comic-Con, the cast of a recent Marvel movie. They would be guests of honor and/or panelists because they would be a huge draw for enthusiasts.

If it's someone with a big profile like Zeke, you can probably expect a sizeable audience standing in line to attend the panel and talk to him. Plus, he'd probably sign autographs for the fans. Even if you're not a sports fan, you could potentially get to know him from a gaming aspect, so it is a good way for him to diversify his fanbase. Plus, it may actually help the Cowboys as it could draw people not really into football (and, tbh, there are many con goers who aren't really into sports, my fellow furs are an example of this with some of the ones I know, but the numbers are getting better by my experience as a furry) because they realize that Zeke is also a big name athlete.

#27 jersey. Oddly enough, Dallas/NYG game from that era is on right now.

I do know this hehe. It's a big market. Plus, like I said above, conventions become huge for video gamers. The better you are, the higher a status you'll get in these. In fact, at the comic convention in Houston, they have a room specifically for gamers to watch the best of the best compete in a video game tournament. I'd imagine that's the case in a lot of other cons (I'm a furry, what do you expect when it comes to me with cons? haha). So, the gamers could actually win a fair amount of money from these convention tournaments too.

Also, at furry conventions, we have some fun video game panels including Jackbox panels where everyone gets to play. I know this because I volunteered at the 2 furry cons I've attended thus far (You get nice perks if you volunteer). One of the locations I was posted was just outside the Jackbox panel at TFF in Dallas. Also, there are other areas where there are video games played when furs just want to relax after walking around a lot. MFF has a video game room and an arcade for anyone wanting to go, so video games at all conventions, whether it be furry, comic, gaming, and I think even anime are a huge draw. So, I think you can see where Zeke could actually help himself with his bank account and all. Plus, he could weave himself into sponsorships with gaming companies such as Activision (who has a subsidiary who makes COD), which would make mass money for him. This would lead to him being one of the presenters when new games are announced to be released. He's actually being smart, imo, for streaming games on that front. As for if he's high, nobody really cares in gaming tbh. As long as it's not giving him a measurable competitive advantage, and there are many gamers who are stoned when they play these tournaments for example. It's important to remember that these tournaments are super competitive and can last for days.

I don't play the games but know a bit about the market. In Korea they play in soccer stadiums and 80,000 fans will pay the admission to come and watch.
