I'm not seeing that good first step or any explosion. I'll have to look closer because I'm seeing the exact opposite.
You're good. You have 20/20 vision. What Vernon lacks in a first step he makes up for with a foxtrot step.
And he stuck by that horrible nickname as well, so much so he had to be prodded to ask Wake if he liked "Mr Sack" Wake was diplomatic but made it clear that was a "uhm..no.." I think Black Ninja is about the shadiest nickname us fans use, but I kinda like it tbh.
That was 95% of the way to being a great fit for a joke. I'm glad you used it. A shame it needed the explanation. I used to make jokes for a living. Nothing more sad than a joke thats clever but just not quite 'gettable' without explanation. Same as the 'dead frog' saying. Humor dies the second you analyze it.
Did it ruin it? I knew you'd get it without an explanation, but I thought the self-depricating humor aspect i.e "Hey, I know a reference!" added to the joke. I apologize if I misread it there. *ERASES ENTIRE CHALKBOARD*
I think a lot of people overlook Aldon Smith in San Francisco. He's able to do some things that I've never seen from Wake, and he's still relatively new to the game having only started playing as a junior in high school; he's the anti-Vernon Gholston. As far as strictly rating the best pass-rushers, I think you've got to give it to Jared Allen or DeMarcus Ware, and the numbers bear that out. Wake was only 26th in the NFL (that's not a mistype) in sacks last year.
No, it actually made it funnier from an anatomy of comedy kinda way. Like the humor of a magic trick going wrong on purpose by accident... Which Steve Martin kinda pioneered as stand up.
Sort of like walking out on stage to play the banjo, and when he turns his head, he has the fake arrow through it. Think that was on Johnny Carson.... several decades ago. As far as releasing the Kraken goes.. All I can think of is Ray Harryhausen's special effects for Clash of the Titans.. And I am glad Wake does not move as slow as that creature.

If you really do it like he does, your spent....I don't know how the guy lines up and takes a rep after exerting that much energy into a celebration..seriously. Y'all need to try it you hear.. Lol, now that's a funny thought...imagine Padre, ( you know you have a visual of Padre) doing that in his living room...Hahahahahah If we ever go to the Super Bowl, I'm having a party, and you all are gonna be invited...and I don't care where you live..
Black ninja is the best nickname ever.. Watch Davone Bess practice and you'll know why I came up with it.
Least likely people to do the Kraken celebration in their living room : Boomer, KB21, FinFanGirl Deej, I dare you to do it at a bar showing the game. With a chicken drummette in your hand, wing sauce on your face and a napkin stuffed down your shirt.
Lol..if I ever did that, I would be the biggest fool...I travel so much I'm always at bars by myself watching the game....could you imagine..lol, some where in freakin nowhere doin the Kracken..
I kind of hope we find a pass rusher opposite him named Baker just so we can have the tandem of "Wake and Bake(r)".
He asked for his release because he has been off the couch for a few years, and realizes now what it feels like to lose his dream of being on the couch from the time his neighbour's alarm wakes him, to the time he falls asleep to Kimmel interviewing Psy. This whole time he's been worrying he may never get another shot at lounging on a couch in Canada, so he begged the Dolphins to let him out of his contract. It was a longshot, but it looks like he will finally get his opportunity!
Us fans? I've only seen you use it. I'll just stick with calling him Bess, since it is easier to type. Same as Wake is easier than Kracken and I don't even know WTF a kracken is and when I asked you before what it is, all I got was some smart *** answer.
Probably no legendary sea monster was as horrifying as the Kraken. According to stories this huge, many armed, creature could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship's main mast. A kraken would attack a ship by wrapping their arms around the hull and capsizing it. The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster. What's amazing about the kraken stories is that, of all the sea monster tales we have, we have the best evidence that this creature was based on something real. http://www.unmuseum.org/kraken.htm
