Matthew Berry Hired Someone Who Only Speaks Chinese?

Matthew Berry Hired Someone Who Only Speaks Chinese?

You already knew going into this, when you clicked on this post, you were gearing up for storytime. If you didn’t know that going in, shame on you. I can’t be blamed if you weren’t prepared for storytime to kick this thing off. Look, maybe the headline here is a little click-baity, and I’ll happily admit that. However, I honestly felt like the best way to describe what’s going on here. I didn’t cheese you in the sense that this post is very much about Matthew Berry, so let me just get on with it now…

Storytime:

I would say about two years ago, I went on a date with this Haitian woman. Nurses and I, for whatever reason, don’t see eye to eye, so it was only one date, but it wasn’t all bad. I ordered a Tomahawk steak for myself, topped with bougie truffles, so I was happy either way. Point of the story, because she was Haitian, I only picked up about 3/4ths of everything she was saying. Honestly, that’s not even the reason why things ended. She asked me to pay for some unknown relative’s funeral (yes, extremely strange), so that’s why it ended.

Anywho… point of the story… I understand her far more than this clown.

Mentally challenged NBC Sports fantasy football “expert” Lawrence Jackson now enters the chat.

Cam Ward is an elite quarterback prospect

Ppl aint really confident in what they “see on tape” …so now football media and folks who wanna be like them are overcompensating their praise for Cam, here’s two reasons why 👇: pic.twitter.com/7KvoBluwiC

Let’s use the term “expert” loosely. Let’s be honest about it, NBC Sports has him on the Matthew Berry show for one reason, and you, the viewer, and I both know what it is without me having to say it.

Look, I could choose to keep my mouth shut about this and move on with the rest of my day. I really considered that path. I just don’t think that’s who Trey is. This site is called Vendetta for a reason and it only felt right that we had a proper chat about what’s actually going on here.

Has anybody watched this Lawrence Jackson? I mentioned it briefly during the last Matthew Berry challenge, but WTF? Is he speaking Chinese? Is the guy just mentally challenged with a low IQ? I’m maybe picking up every fourth word of everything he says. There’s no way anybody actually understands what he’s trying to say. I’m not even trying to be mean about it because maybe this is a Make-A-Wish hire, and there’s something legitimately wrong with him. If that’s not the case, I genuinely don’t understand how Berry hired someone who completely humilates everything he’s trying to build at NBC.

Seriously… what is this noob trying to say? “Ova Da Tooftp” I maybe picked up on that line? Other than that, I really have no idea what this guy was even trying to say. Thank god for the subtitles, or there would have been no chance you could properly translate this word vomit. I think my favorite part of this idiotic rant is the part where he tries to criticize people for being late to the party on Cam Ward but then accepts zero accountability for being wrong about Kaidon Salter (who has zero NFL future and you’re brain dead if you ever thought that was the case, which this guy clearly is). Nothing he says is relevant during that entire rant, either.

If you want to read an educated scouting report on Cam Ward instead of a race-baiting-filled rant of nonsense, I’ve got you.

Did The Matthew Berry Challenge Expose Him As A Fraud?

Let me close with a few additional thoughts that need to be addressed. Your comments are welcome, so feel free to tell me where I’m wrong. Frankly, I’m shocked more people aren’t talking about this because it’s insane.

A: Look, I’m not saying I’m the most professional guy in the world, but doesn’t there at least have to be a bar? We can still maintain some level of respect while straying away from conventional journalism. I think we can all agree on that?

This dude literally can’t speak. The bar has to be higher than a drunk dude slurring his words while being pulled over for a DUI. We’re four notches underneath the drunk dude here with this clown. I refuse to believe he graduated from college with a communications degree because there’s no chance the professors I had would have passed him. Only so many of these jobs exist in the sports media world. For a place like NBC Sports to hire someone who literally can’t properly enunciate anything he says it’s high-key insane.

B: I genuinely don’t care who Matthew Berry hires. It doesn’t affect my life in any way. Trey is doing great over here, and I promise you I wouldn’t trade places. Trust me, if I were desperate to be part of this mainstream nonsense fantasy football community, I wouldn’t have started the Matthew Berry challenge to prove I’m better than him. Two years into the challenge, it’s beyond embarrassing how badly I’ve smoked him, but that’s a story for another day (2023, 2024 ^ plus found in the embed). If Berry wants to hire an uneducated clown, be my guest.

I say all that to say this. There are people who actually get upset about stuff like this (I am not one of them). Honestly, I’m surprised OutKick hasn’t already written an article on how this is clearly a (comment for your mad libs word of choice here) hire. I can’t get on board with those people, but it makes me understand why people who operate in that realm respond the way they do.

Again, I can’t get on board with those people, but at some point, there’s gotta be a line. Kinda like how we’re not putting litter boxes in schools for the creeps who identify as furries. This Jackson guy is in furry territory in terms of actually having respect for himself. The only thing obvious about this whole thing is that Berry clearly doesn’t have any self respect for himself because putting a guy like this on your team who refuses or can’t properly enunciate anything in proper English, it’s a slap in the face to the entire NBC Sports network and I can’t believe nobody has said anything about it.

I’m really not even trying to be mean. Maybe the guy is a crackbaby or a Make-A-Wish hire. I want to be respectful to that possibility. If that’s not the case, I feel like I’m living in Looney Tunes land because there’s no way this is real life, and that guy actually gets paid to be on TV. And you wonder why all of these places have sports media layoffs? Crazy town. There’s nothing more to say.
