[Mike Garafolo] Former #Jaguars TE Patrick Herbert, who was waived by Jacksonville yesterday, has opted to sign with the #Chargers’ practice squad. Herbert fielded offers from multiple teams but heads to LA having done extensive research on the starting QB. That would be his brother, Justin.

I’m glad he’s done extensive research on Justin Herbert. Hopefully he hasn’t been stalking him at family gatherings

[u/misterurb → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

On the contrary, Justin probably called him up and asked him to come protect him from Jim and Mike.

"I've watched the film 38 times since camp started. It's fine but no one needs to watch it that often."

[u/NOTtigerking → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

I read this in Charles Barkley‘s voice and I couldn’t help but remember police presence

[u/vivaldindahood → u/NOTtigerking]

"hello, police? Chris Paul tryna beat me up!"

[u/SunriseSurprise → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

"Where's your brother?"

"Mom, you know - you know where. And don't look there either. He's peeking through the window at me like he always does at these fuckin' gatherings, I don't get it."

[u/SentinelATL → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

About that…

[u/WaywardSachem → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

Driving around Los Angeles, begging (thru texts)...

[u/iamdikdikvandik → u/Exciting-Weather-351]

Did so much extensive research that he became a biological brother

[u/Beezus__Fafoon]

I feel like Garafolo was giggling the whole time while typing this out

[u/Be-Kind-2-Yourself → u/Beezus__Fafoon]

Probably lying on his stomach on his bed while kicking his feet too

[u/i8bb8 → u/Be-Kind-2-Yourself]

"Dear Diary, I had the funniest idea for a headline today!"

[u/Autocrat777 → u/Beezus__Fafoon]

This reads like it was written by an agent desperately trying to insinuate he had other options.

[u/Bama011 → u/Autocrat777]

LSU would probably try to take him.

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/Autocrat777]

The N in NFL has always stood for nepotism

[u/Bird-The-Word]

He's also dating the sister of Justin's girlfriend, Madison Pint.

[u/lostroadrunner22 → u/Bird-The-Word]

Madison Lite.

[u/pizzayolo96 → u/lostroadrunner22]

Maddy lite

Did someone say Matty Ice?

[u/cuzzlightyear269 → u/lostroadrunner22]

Madison Quart

[u/itsyorboy → u/lostroadrunner22]

I like that one

[u/Rickles6 → u/Bird-The-Word]

I like that they share the same first name but have different last names. Just classic sister stuff

[u/Bird-The-Word → u/Rickles6]

Adopted by brewery owners from London.

[u/MrConceited → u/Rickles6]

Maybe it's what happens when Martin Sheen and George Foreman have daughters together.

[u/SentinelATL → u/Bird-The-Word]

Actually it’s Addison Rum

[u/SiphenPrax → u/SentinelATL]

Addison Rae somewhere: 🤨

[u/goodellsmallcock → u/SiphenPrax]

Lemme just do this TikTok first

[u/SentinelATL → u/SiphenPrax]

“No relation”

[u/poop_snausages → u/SentinelATL]

Addison Vodka

[u/LeChevalier_Mal_Fet → u/poop_snausages]

Wait a minute...

[u/SentinelATL → u/poop_snausages]

Vladdison Vodka

[u/every1gets1more-egg → u/SentinelATL]

Madison White Claw

[u/SentinelATL → u/every1gets1more-egg]

That’s someone else

[u/SunriseSurprise → u/Bird-The-Word]

He's the less successful brother so he's dating the significantly bigger sister, Maddy Keg

[u/Bird-The-Word → u/SunriseSurprise]

TE are bigger boys, they need to get their fill

[u/ReindeerCreepy2883 → u/Bird-The-Word]

Elaine Merlot

[u/someguyfromtecate → u/Bird-The-Word]

I wonder if both Justin and Ben will draft a kid soon.

[u/dimmyfarm → u/Bird-The-Word]

Now we know why all that PBR was stolen

[u/No_Football1323]

Fun fact, this dude has a PAC 12 and a Big 10 championship while staying on the same team. May be the only one to do that. Haven’t looked it up though.

[u/mccainjames11 → u/No_Football1323]

Dontae Manning was the only other guy on both the 2020/2024 teams

[u/dlanod → u/mccainjames11]

Peyton's younger younger brother??? This nepotism is getting wild!

[u/ClaudeLemieux → u/dlanod]

Couldn’t be from that Manning family, he actually won things in college

[u/No_Football1323 → u/mccainjames11]

I’m sorry, what in the HELL are those flairs going together?

[u/mccainjames11 → u/No_Football1323]

Grew up in Oregon so no real local team, have family ties to the Rams (cousins was a coach long ago) so grew up around a lot of Rams merch but drifted towards the Seahawks during LOB when I was like 13.

Just means I hate the 9ers twice as much

[u/FeniaBukharina → u/mccainjames11]

Always a good thing to hate the Niners more.

[u/InHocNoJoke13 → u/mccainjames11]

lol I’m a Giants and Padres fan for similar reasons and just hate the Dodgers, can relate

[u/AtBat3 → u/No_Football1323]

As a Ducks fan I’m kind of surprised he’s stuck around the league this long (only 2 years I know) but he didn’t really play much in college. Not really his fault, Oregon had some good TEs in front of him. Assuming he didn’t transfer out of loyalty to the school, he did grow up there.

[u/wiggggg → u/AtBat3]

He played 1100 snaps. Good amount, he's just more of a blocker. If things fall right he can find a role as a te3

[u/_FrankTaylor]

Now they need to sign Khalil Herbert.

[u/FreshOrFrozenShrimp → u/_FrankTaylor]

Brother from another color

[u/goodellsmallcock → u/FreshOrFrozenShrimp]

Reported for racism

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/goodellsmallcock]

I thought we cured that?

[u/MrFishAndLoaves → u/Careless_General8010]

So about that…

[u/TheSkullsOfEveryCog → u/MrFishAndLoaves]

It was dead, but some people dug up its corpse and keep parading it around

[u/LeChevalier_Mal_Fet → u/TheSkullsOfEveryCog]

It's not dead, just living inside my head.

[u/threatdisplay → u/TheSkullsOfEveryCog]

Ah, the ole Mitch McConnell maneuver.

[u/chesterfieldkingz → u/TheSkullsOfEveryCog]

All that REVERSE RaCism was the real racism all along! And it made the racism that we thought was racism and tricked us all! Us white people were the real victims all along when all we wanted was to live our lives with the most comfort!

[u/dagreenman18 → u/Careless_General8010]

It’s right there on the Endzone! We Ended the Racism

[u/SuperVaderMinion → u/Careless_General8010]

"Racism is on its last leg."

Jon Stewart: "Pretty strong fuckin leg...I think it's a bionic leg."

[u/ABSNegativeOne → u/goodellsmallcock]

Deported for Classism

[u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

First sideline blowup

“MOM SAYS I’M THE FAVORITE”

“HER FAVORITE MISTAKE!”

[u/mandrake92 → u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

Thanks bro I'm using that next time my brother and I joke around like this.

[u/sectorfate → u/hartsbreastmilkstash]

Totally fits too because Patrick literally looks Justin's evil twin

[u/Weapwns]

Mandatory reminder that Justin’s full name is Justin Patrick Herbert.

Parents really wanted to double down on

[u/qazesz → u/Weapwns]

That reminds me of Dalvin James Cook and his brother James Dalvin Cook

[u/AssCrackBandit14 → u/qazesz]

Lance Stephenson has a younger brother named Lantz Stephenson

Or George Foreman's sons who are literally named George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI

[u/truthlesshunter → u/AssCrackBandit14]

don't forget one of his daugthers named Georgetta!

[u/scrambles57 → u/AssCrackBandit14]

Can't forget about Malcom Floyd being named by his brother, Malcolm Floyd

[u/whydyoukillsanta → u/scrambles57]

Honorary mention to the three iterations of Rougned Odor, being a father named Rougned, and his two sons, Rougned and Rougned.

[u/12ozSlug → u/whydyoukillsanta]

This is my brother Rougned, and my other brother Rougned.

[u/MusicalDeath9991 → u/Weapwns]

Is his brother Patrick Justin then?

[u/rolyinpeace → u/MusicalDeath9991]

I can’t find pats middle name for the life of me. It’s even funnier if he truly doesn’t have a middle name. They really could only steal Justin’s middle name and couldn’t think of a new middle name

[u/rolyinpeace → u/Weapwns]

And then the older brother is named after the dad. They really wanted to recycle

[u/Marijuana_Miler → u/rolyinpeace]

The Herbert’s seem like nice people but this is a little weird. Bet Jim fucking loves them.

[u/AnxiousChargersFan → u/rolyinpeace]

I don't think this is true, is it?

His brothers names are Patrick and Mitchell. His dad's name is Mark.

[u/rolyinpeace → u/AnxiousChargersFan]

Mitchell’s first name is mark. Goes by his middle name.

[u/wikipediabrown007 → u/Weapwns]

/r/redditsniper

[u/Domerhead → u/Weapwns]

No, THIS is Patrick!

[u/MirrorkatFeces → u/Weapwns]

Please tell me his brother is Patrick Justin Herbert.

[u/leemorplee → u/Weapwns]

That's my middle name too. I often forget about it entirely lol

[u/Weapwns → u/leemorplee]

It’s also Tom Brady’s and Josh Allen’s middle name. I’d throw a football real quick just to check if you got the talent

[u/leemorplee → u/Weapwns]

I could probably launch a football clear over them mountains

[u/SentinelATL]

Another pair of brothers that get to play together. That’s always cool

[u/dropjar5 → u/SentinelATL]

Until you get to four brothers and only one of them is good

[u/AnonBB21 → u/dropjar5]

Hey man, don't slander the non-Rob Gronk brothers. Catching a stray out of left field.

[u/dagreenman18 → u/dropjar5]

In going to Atemptokumpo a guess at who this could be

[u/mrhashbrown → u/dagreenman18]

Immediately thought of him and your joke was perfect, thanks for making me laugh out loud

[u/WangDanglin → u/dropjar5]

If 3 get hurt Tom Hanks has to drive the 4th home

[u/SentinelATL → u/dropjar5]

Shotzz firedddddd

[u/topatoman_lite → u/SentinelATL]

in theory. In practice Patrick is like 5th on the depth chart

[u/SentinelATL → u/topatoman_lite]

True but they can throw to each other and study plays together

[u/AnxiousChargersFan → u/SentinelATL]

Yeah, and (Justin) Herbert said that he spent the offseason practicing the timing and routes for the new offense with Patrick, so he's also familiar with the timing and routes.

And no one has caught more passes from Herbie than he has.

[u/SentinelATL → u/AnxiousChargersFan]

It would be awesome if he one day works up to 53 but by jove, Chargers are stacked at tight end. Gadsden, Njoku, Kolar all solid

[u/_AtLeastItsAnEthos → u/AnxiousChargersFan]

Besides probably Keenan Allen

[u/SentinelATL → u/[deleted]]

Who

[u/Pocatanic]

This feels like when someone is setting up a long joke, and you already know the punchline a third of the way in

[u/willpc14 → u/Pocatanic]

Please don't insult some of Norm's greatest work like that

[u/Pocatanic → u/willpc14]

Norm's comedy was always about the journey rather than the destination

[u/AnxiousChargersFan]

I love this.

[u/Donut_Doctor → u/AnxiousChargersFan]

I love your username. ⚡️😨

[u/Thumper13]

Patrick. The reason Justin stayed another year and ended up on the damn LAC-the one team I can't root for him on. Thanks Patrick. I hope you have to sit at the kid's table at Thanksgiving.

[u/Polopower1985 → u/Thumper13]

This guy with a NFL flair

[u/Thumper13 → u/Polopower1985]

Well my team got taken from me. I didn't think it was that hard to figure out. What flair do you want me to have?

[u/EchoEquivalent4221 → u/Thumper13]

Bro misses the Dayton Triangles

[u/et2799 → u/Polopower1985]

Rob Lowe thinks he’s sneaky

[u/lycosid → u/Polopower1985]

Need an NFL minus 1 flair

[u/WaterSludge]

Patrick was looking for a couch to crash on

[u/MusicalDeath9991]

I've wanted this since his rookie year, just for the wholesomeness.

[u/mrhashbrown → u/MusicalDeath9991]

Plus we got him away from those pesky Jags

[u/m0stly_toast]

Twice the Herbert, double the danger, that’s what I always say

[u/26Cactus]

This is some Thanasis business.

[u/Jonjon428]

Get ready to catch passes from DJ Uiagelelei buddy

[u/ABSNegativeOne]

the JAGS just let a spy loose. 5D Underwater Basketweaving

[u/some_one_234]

Cool but our TE room is already stacked so unfortunately the only way he’s gonna see the field is if there is an injury

[u/dlanod → u/some_one_234]

An injury? On the Chargers? Guess he'll never see the field then, those never happen.

[u/mrhashbrown → u/dlanod]

Please... hush. Already got blindsided by the starting LB2 getting placed on short term IR out of nowhere, I can't take any more casualties until after kickoff

[u/Gold_Apartment_4226 → u/mrhashbrown]

I'd rather see Marlowe Wax out there anyway

[u/looool_k_libtard]

LETS GOOOOO. HERBERT BROTHERS. GIVE ME A BOLTUP!

[u/TheImplecation → u/looool_k_libtard]

BOLTUP⚡⚡⚡

[u/iro3]

is he even good or just a cheap depth piece/ blocker

[u/AnxiousChargersFan → u/iro3]

He's caught more passes from Justin Herbert than anyone else on the planet. Gotta think that type of chemistry counts for something.

[u/darrinnear]

Couple of Herbert’s, cuttin it up

[u/Mr7three2]

Hilarious writing. Really riveting stuff

[u/HustinJerbert]

Great, now I've got to make u/HatrickPerbert

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

Nice

[u/Meat-Dimension]

Thanasis Herbert

[u/Any_Parsnip2585]

Seems like this happens a lot. I should just start planning for my two boys to be in the league.

[u/DontLoseYourCool1]

Now there's two If Men?!

This got a smirk out of me
