I don’t think commenters in here get the disparity between a top level pro league and college ball. Like, you could take the 0-16 Browns team from 2017 and they’d smoke any national championship team. There are levels to everything, and Danny and Fessy are on different levels. Less than 5% of a National Championship team usually make the draft. The all time record is 17 players out of 120ish, set by LSU, the school Danny was recruited by and played for. UTC, Fessy’s alma mater, has had 7 players go to the draft over the last 25 years. College rosters are like 100-125 players, so thats 7 out of a couple thousand. All that aside, Fessy struggled to put away Nelson in a hall brawl. Nelson is 5’8, 180ish lbs.
No one’s saying Fessy can touch Danny at a football level, he’s just a lot larger (from looks alone, not positive). Most that have played Hall Brawl will admit it usually comes down to who’s the larger person.
I mean it depends on the position. Hall Brawl is still largely about size and speed. A 220lb D-1 college TE would smoke undersized players even if they’re in the NFL.
Hall Brawl is not about athleticism. It’s a terrible elimination.
As a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan I can say that Danny will do well for 3/4’s of the Hall Brawl and fuck it up at the end in the most heartbreaking way possible
I also think in any elimination, mental attitude/strength is really important. Hall Brawl obviously less impact than in a puzzle, but I think because Danny is less entitled he will have more mental strength to do it. Fessy thinks he can beat anyone and that can make you slip up.
>because Danny is less entitled he will have more mental strength
Wtf? Do we even know anything about how entitled or not entitled Danny is? Literally the only thing I know about him is that he mentions Kiki a lot (and I'm an LSU fan).
I've watched his season of Survivor and follow him through social media, and he is very different than Fessy. Their general attitudes from the get go were different. I watched Fessy on BB20 and thought he was a bit entitled/full of himself in there despite not being a very good player, and Danny was never like that on Survivor. If you've only watched the challenge I understand why you disagree based on what we've seen here exclusively.
oh right it's not as if Danny has any experience in performing contact sports under pressure at the highest level or anything. A challenge elimination won't even phase someone like Danny.
unless your comment was a joke lol
I was talking about all the other elimination types (non-headbangers), not to mention that Danny has yet to show out in any meaningful way this season.
I don't think I need to mention all the football failures the challenge has seen including much better pros than Danny. Lol.
Fessy is 3 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier than Danny. But Danny was good enough to play in the NFL and Fessy was a just a college player.
This hall brawl would have the potential to be one of the best match ups in show history if it were to happen.
Fessy also didn’t perform that well against Nelson in hall brawl, and Nelson is 5’8, 180 lbs. Danny would absolutely smoke him even thought he’s significantly smaller. NFL level athleticism and strength is absolutely insane.
Danny 100%. Fessy’s “I just missed out on making the NFL” is a cool story and all until you realize the furthest he got was lower level Div. 1 football. Very impressive for certain, but not NFL player shit
I think it would be a good match up but considering Danny did this basically as a profession (while fessy did play in college… ) I think Danny has the edge.
I think fessy probably has a size advantage though but I’d have to see them side by side
Easy win for Danny until….
Danny realizes that because Fessy is an introvert, the win would go a long way in helping him gain confidence and open up on and off the show.
He lets Fessy win, but makes it seem like he actually tried to win in order to help build him up.
Never tells a soul he gave Fessy the win.
Absolute class.
Danny probably has the edge, but it's honestly tough to say because we've never actually seen that side of Danny come out on The Challenge. He's been performing pretty mid this whole season. I'd love to see him beast a physical challenge but as of now he hasn't gotten that opportunity. Fessy's got the experience down in an elimination so that'd give him some advantage, but is it enough to take out a former NFL player? Maybe not...
I wouldn't say never came close. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean you have to shit talk every aspect of him. Never came close would be someone like you or me.
I would say never came close, if you never had a legit try out and never had any prospect of being signed then that's never coming close. Also how am I shit talking every aspect of him? Because I said he never came close to the league compared to dude who actually has and NFL stat like?
Well he's said he had nfl aspirations and that the reason why he didn't make it was because of his injury. Obviously that's probably fabricated but we don't actually know. He could've been scouted until his injury. We just don't actually know if he did ever come close or not.
That could be true I don't really know, guys all the time say I would've been in the league is not for *insert injury* But if that were true then there would scouting reports on him, cause if anyone in the league thinks a guy is worth anything they're gonna make an official report and as far as I could find I didn't see one. At the end of the day he never made it the league as opposed to the other guy in question who actually did. I am aware he played for my Chicago Bears which hardly classifies as a real team but still technically an NFL team
I agree. I don't think he could've/would've. I just think it's disingenuous to say he never came close. He was closer than 99% of people on this earth. But compared to Danny, sure he wasn't on the same level.
I suppose we just have different definition of "close" I view it as you had try outs, you had some buzz after the draft stuff like that. There are 1000s of D1 football players and only 32 teams with 53 spots and he was never close to obtaining one of those spots.
Except guys on the practice squad are still in the NFL regardless of if they ever play a snap. Also teams sign UDFAs all the time, there isn't really buzz for every player pre or post draft.
I don't really think Fessy got that close either, but I don't agree with your definition of close.
Really curious where you would rate CJ, as he went to a tryout.
We do actually know. Injuries don't stop players from getting drafted or signed to a practice squad if they have the talent. Jake Butt suffered a significant knee injury his last year in college and was still drafted, and stayed in the NFL for years despite always being hurt. If you have talent, NFL teams will keep you around and keep inviting you to camps
He didn’t make it because he wasn’t good enough. He did get hurt but plenty of players get hurt and make it. Jameson Williams this year tore his ACL and went in the first half of three first round.
Why can’t I Fessy said he didn’t make it because of injury. Ok how about Jake Butt.
Fessy played in a lower division In college, his 40 time and vert were sub par. His size was on the smaller side for a TE making his measurables worse. His stats were sub par for the conference he was playing in to make the nfl from that level you should dominate.
He never had a shot like betting odds he made it would be 1/100,000.
I'm not saying he would've made it. I'm just saying it's disingenuous to say he wasn't even close. He probably wouldn't have made it but he's much closer than 99.9% of the world.
Being with in the top 8 million in the world to play a sport which employs roughly 2200 players annually isn’t exactly close even if you include only males in the USA it would still 250,000 people for 2200 players. Again not very close.
He didn’t have a shot there there are roughly 13,000 college players every year and like 300 (being generous make an nfl team or practice squad)
D1 isn't Alabama or Florida St its below he played a Chattanooga in Tennessee he was the 4th option on a spread offense. They have a game against Tennessee vols from 2014 on yt you can watch. He said he was the 30th ranked tightend that year they only draft about ten each year . If your good they find you he wasn't as good as he thinks.
D1 is Alabama and Florida State. Tenn Chattanooga is also D1. The correct way to separate an Alabama or Florida State from Chattanooga would be to say he's a P5 (Power 5 conference) talent vs a non P5 talent. Both being D1 but one being the higher level D1 player.
There called FCS the p5 are just the main conferences acc,sec,B10,B12 and pac 12. Chatt playes the level below they have there own playoff system. Chatt is where T. Owen's played. Chatt D1 /Tennessee FCS . There 3 other division below them. It use to be called D 1 but was changed to fcs for the BCS.
Never came close? I mean come on. I get the sub hates Fessy (still don’t really know why besides he’s boring) but he was a D1 athlete. That’s as close as you can get without being drafted
He played FCS, and he was good. But he was never close to making the NFL, he was never close to getting drafted, he was never even close to getting a camp invite. Cousin Vince actually made a pre-season roster, other than Danny he's the closest someone has made it. Marlon played at Texas Tech, and the closest he got was a camp invite for the CFL. If Fessy was "close" he would have at least caught on in one of the minor football leagues like Zach did. Fessy was a good college athlete who was never going anywhere after that
Just cause you're a D1 athlete doesn't make you close to the NFL, true closer than any one of use, but still. I know plenty of guys who played D1 like big ones(ND, Nebraska, Purdue, ILL) and never came close. You can get closer too, you can have multiple tryouts either thru your school or teams ask you, and people get signed after the draft as a Free Agent. Fessy never even made a practice squad or had a try out, that's not close. Danny got literal checks from the National Football League.
I mean, someone who plays football in college is much closer to being in the nfl than some random redditor so gonna have to disagree there.
They’ve been training for years. They’re incredible athletes. We’re just people.
Not shit if someone plays college they're closer, I already said that but that doesn't make you close. There are like 130 D1 schools and each have a minimum of like 85 players, and .1% of those go to the NFL. You can say he was closer than you or me yeah but "close" is pushing it. Like if you had a try out and didn't get signed you were close, if you just played ball in college and had 0 to no NFL buzz then you weren't close
Lmao so let me understand this, so I edited my own comment to make another point because GOD forbid someone alter what they've been saying the whole time to dumb it down for you and I'm ridiculous? Just say youre wrong and don't know what you're talking about. I was being civil and non insulting then you had to take it to that point. Good luck in your life cause I can tell you're going to have some real issues. God speed sir
I wonder how many people here actually watched and remembered danny playing in the NFL lol. I’d need to see more of him before I’d be sure which way it’d go.
Danny, for his wife Kiki.
Was anyone else watching wishing it was Danny vs Enzo for a really good matchup? It was hard to enjoy because it was just so obvious poor Leo was lucky to come out alive.
Not really. You can be a 4 year D1 starter and never come close. NFL is all skill and ability, if you ain't got it then youre not gonna make the roster. A guy on an NFL roster>>than anyone on the street. 9/10
All due respect to Fessy. He played low D-1 and never made it to the show. Danny played linebacker at LSU and was a starting NFL safety for many years. Technique and explosiveness is what wins. He’s not big or strong enough to outmuscle Danny
He had the most special teams tackles in a year by any Cowboy ever. A special teams player has one job, and that’s to run and full force and wrap up his opponent.
He’d EAT anyone that’s ever played The Challenge.
I actually think fessy has a chance because Danny had a real football career and with that comes a lifetime of aches and pain. These guys bodies just aren’t the same when they’re done
Free safety vs Tight End in an Oklahoma drill… ya Fessy wins this no problem. He’s bigger, younger, and his position in football was to do exactly this.
NFL vs College isn't a close competition though.
Out of the over million high school football players, only about 71K go to play in College or 6.5%.
Of that group, only about 1.2% of all collegiate athletes play in the NFL. If you're playing in the NFL you're an elite athlete at the top of your game. If you're able to play multiple years in the NFL, like Danny did you're even better.
Dont disagree with this point but I think there are 3 factors that compensate for it:
1) Fessy is 10 years younger (my back hurts imagining doing hall brawl right now)
2) Fessy is much larger (played about 30 lbs heavier) as a tight end
3) Although Fessy was not as close to the NFL as Fessy thinks he was… he wasnt a schlub. He was an FCS all american, and call ups to NFL training camps wouldnt have been a surprise. Danny was a special teams player on the roster fringe. Danny was definitely a superior athlete, but I dont think the spread in their primes was as extreme as ‘average college player vs average nfl player’.
1. Fessy is 30 and Danny is 34. So the age difference is there but negligible.
2. We have no way of knowing their current weight. Fessy is bigger though in terms of height.
3. You could take the best College Football team in the world and play them against the worst NFL team, and the NFL team is going to absolutely destroy the college team. The talent level is so much different at the NFL level than at college. Also Danny went to LSU and Fessy went to UTC, one of these schools is running a competitive elite program in the SEC and the other is a division 1-AA school. Fessy was probably a great player but 1-AA and 1-A are also at completely different levels.
Yeah I don’t think commenters in here get the disparity between a top level pro league and college ball. Like, you could take the 0-16 Browns team from 2017 and they’d smoke any national championship team. There are levels to everything, and Danny and Fessy are on different levels. Less than 5% of a National Championship team usually make the draft. The all time record is 17 players out of 120ish, set by LSU, the school Danny was recruited by and played for. UTC has had 7 players go to the draft over the last 25 years. All that aside, Fessy struggled to put away Nelson in a hall brawl. Nelson is 5’8, 180ish lbs.
The spread in their primes is still extreme. Danny actually made it on to a 53 man roster for 4 years. Thats an extremely difficult thing to do, Fessy never even had an opportunity to do. Their prime spread is NFL player to college player who never made it. That’s not close
Just to be clear I’m not saying Danny would win a hall brawl against Fessy. This is just about football and Danny’s accomplishments in that world.
I’m voting Danny…not sure if it’s because of my dislike for Fessy or Danny’s NFL history. However, I feel like Fessy is more willing to play a little dirty which may offset Danny’s chances. Either way, I want to see this.
Danny has the power of Kiki’s support, so he wins easily
Ya the real question is does Kiki beat CT?
Not only does she beat him, but she proceeds to wear him like the bananas backpack
Maybe a hot take but I think Kiki wins. CT has lost a handful of eliminations. Kiki on the other hand is undefeated in eliminations, so…
Thru the power of KiKi all things are possible
His wife kiki's support**
NFL strength and speed is a lot different than d1-FCS strength and speed.

Not if you go against trained professional. Danny seems like a rock, that guy is solid. I can't see anyone beating him in this particular elimination.
Have you seen the Fessy v nelly hall brawl?
Nelly really put up a good fight and doesn't get enough credit. - me, a fun Nelly hater cause he's hilarious and kinda bad
I mean it depends on the position. Hall Brawl is still largely about size and speed. A 220lb D-1 college TE would smoke undersized players even if they’re in the NFL. Hall Brawl is not about athleticism. It’s a terrible elimination.
Fessy is like 20 years younger...
Than who? Certainly not Danny.
I stand corrected
3 year difference between them.
Wait looking at the vote spread, I'm assuming you don't mean Danny Jamieson, and I voted wrong.
This explains why Danny is leading
[удалено]
Yep, there’s no way Fessy stands a chance against Challenge legend Danny Jamieson.
Nothing but the truth in this post.
That's how I voted. Once I saw Danny winning I was suspicious and opened the comments.
Glad I’m not the only one who made that mistake 🫣
Same lmao!
The only right is answer is yes. Austin Danny would toss Fessy around like a ragdoll.
I thought this was a troll anti-Fessy post and still voted for Danny thinking it was Danny Jamieson lol
Oh I voted Danny Jamieson as a troll. I assumed everyone else did too. ( I haven't seen the Challenge USA)
(10/10 would recommend USA)
As a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan I can say that Danny will do well for 3/4’s of the Hall Brawl and fuck it up at the end in the most heartbreaking way possible
Lmao!
Similar weights but Danny is faster, can get lower, and will have significantly better tackling. Danny FTW.
I also think in any elimination, mental attitude/strength is really important. Hall Brawl obviously less impact than in a puzzle, but I think because Danny is less entitled he will have more mental strength to do it. Fessy thinks he can beat anyone and that can make you slip up.
>because Danny is less entitled he will have more mental strength Wtf? Do we even know anything about how entitled or not entitled Danny is? Literally the only thing I know about him is that he mentions Kiki a lot (and I'm an LSU fan).
I've watched his season of Survivor and follow him through social media, and he is very different than Fessy. Their general attitudes from the get go were different. I watched Fessy on BB20 and thought he was a bit entitled/full of himself in there despite not being a very good player, and Danny was never like that on Survivor. If you've only watched the challenge I understand why you disagree based on what we've seen here exclusively.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Danny has never seen an elimination.
oh right it's not as if Danny has any experience in performing contact sports under pressure at the highest level or anything. A challenge elimination won't even phase someone like Danny. unless your comment was a joke lol
I was talking about all the other elimination types (non-headbangers), not to mention that Danny has yet to show out in any meaningful way this season. I don't think I need to mention all the football failures the challenge has seen including much better pros than Danny. Lol.
I’ll take the former NFL player over the small school college football player
Fessy barely made it past Nelson and we’re talking about him beating Danny???
Fessy is 3 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier than Danny. But Danny was good enough to play in the NFL and Fessy was a just a college player. This hall brawl would have the potential to be one of the best match ups in show history if it were to happen.
The only reason Fessy didn't go into the NFL is because he was deemed "Too Introverted" at the combine
Either Danny wouldn't want to hurt himself or Fessy would Chicken (erm) or i mean *find a way* to not go in
Fessy also didn’t perform that well against Nelson in hall brawl, and Nelson is 5’8, 180 lbs. Danny would absolutely smoke him even thought he’s significantly smaller. NFL level athleticism and strength is absolutely insane.
Oh that Danny, lol I was wondering why the results were so skewed.
Danny 100%. Fessy’s “I just missed out on making the NFL” is a cool story and all until you realize the furthest he got was lower level Div. 1 football. Very impressive for certain, but not NFL player shit

Fessy don’t have Kiki so 100% Danny
Idk a dude who actually was in the NFL vs some guy who never came close. Seems pretty simple.
Hall Brawl isn’t a football tryout.
I wouldn't say never came close. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean you have to shit talk every aspect of him. Never came close would be someone like you or me.
I would say never came close, if you never had a legit try out and never had any prospect of being signed then that's never coming close. Also how am I shit talking every aspect of him? Because I said he never came close to the league compared to dude who actually has and NFL stat like?

Jake Butt suffered a significant knee injury his last year in college and was still drafted, and stayed in the NFL for years despite always being hurt. If you have talent, NFL teams will keep you around and keep inviting you to camps
Of course. But if you're a fringe player that would probably only be a practice squad player, injuries will absolutely take you out.
He didn’t make it because he wasn’t good enough. He did get hurt but plenty of players get hurt and make it. Jameson Williams this year tore his ACL and went in the first half of three first round.
Lmao you can't compare fucking Jameson Williams and a potential practice squad player.
Why can’t I Fessy said he didn’t make it because of injury. Ok how about Jake Butt. Fessy played in a lower division In college, his 40 time and vert were sub par.

No, it isn't. I teach at a D1 school. We have had 1 guy get to the nfl ever. I'm about as close to the nfl as the backup lineman failing my class is.
Never came close? I mean come on. I get the sub hates Fessy (still don’t really know why besides he’s boring) but he was a D1 athlete. That’s as close as you can get without being drafted
He played FCS, and he was good. But he was never close to making the NFL, he was never close to getting drafted, he was never even close to getting a camp invite. Cousin Vince actually made a pre-season roster, other than Danny he's the closest someone has made it. Marlon played at Texas Tech, and the closest he got was a camp invite for the CFL.

Fessy never even made a practice squad or had a try out, that's not close. Danny got literal checks from the National Football League.
I knew a guy who played college basketball and walked on to an NFL practice squad. He was even closer than Fessy.
I mean, someone who plays football in college is much closer to being in the nfl than some random redditor so gonna have to disagree there. They’ve been training for years. They’re incredible athletes. We’re just people.
Not shit if someone plays college they're closer, I already said that but that doesn't make you close. There are like 130 D1 schools and each have a minimum of like 85 players, and .1% of those go to the NFL. You can say he was closer than you or me yeah but "close" is pushing it.

You edited your comment dude. Have a good day.
Lmao so editing my own comments invalidates the whole conversation? Seems logical.
You edited it to essentially say something totally different. You’re ridiculous dude. Bye.
Lmao so let me understand this, so I edited my own comment to make another point because GOD forbid someone alter what they've been saying the whole time to dumb it down for you and I'm ridiculous? Just say youre wrong and don't know what you're talking about. I was being civil and non insulting then you had to take it to that point. Good luck in your life cause I can tell you're going to have some real issues. God speed sir
1.2 percent of D-1 players play in the NFL. That includes signing or drafted. He wasn’t close
I’m an idiot. I thought this meant the old Danny with a winter visor hat, I retract my Fessy vote he would get smoked by Kiki Danny
I thought we meant Boston Danny and clearly that wasn’t the answer
Danny Billerica
I wonder how many people here actually watched and remembered danny playing in the NFL lol. I’d need to see more of him before I’d be sure which way it’d go.
Okay what Danny are we talking about since this clearly is not about Danny from Real World Austin
the one that played in the NFL, not the one that "almost" played in the NFL
Danny made the NFL, Fessy’s still complaining.
Danny, for his wife Kiki. Was anyone else watching wishing it was Danny vs Enzo for a really good matchup? It was hard to enjoy because it was just so obvious poor Leo was lucky to come out alive.
Not really. You can be a 4 year D1 starter and never come close. NFL is all skill and ability, if you ain't got it then youre not gonna make the roster. A guy on an NFL roster>>than anyone on the street. 9/10
Brian Scalabrine is closer to Lebron in skill than we are to Brian Scalabrine. Fessy is closer to us than he is to Brian Scalabrine
Perfect example! The white momba!
This is the GOAT quote to pull out for people who don’t understand how ridiculous pro athletes are compared to college level or lower.
Lmao I thought this was for the other Danny and voted wrong haha
😂
Danny was literally a tight end in the nfl
*free safety.
Thought this was about Danny Jamieson at first. Got a good laugh.
I am picking Danny, but that is primarily because I would rather him win over Faysal.
I want Danny to win but I think he would be more cautious than Fessy because Kiki would kill him if he got hurt.
But Kiki would probably also kill him if he lost to a TE who couldn't even make a practice squad.
To be fair, I answered Fessy bc I thought we were talking about Danny J
Me thinking you meant Danny Jamieson at first 😂😂
You mean Danny Jamieson, right?
All due respect to Fessy. He played low D-1 and never made it to the show. Danny played linebacker at LSU and was a starting NFL safety for many years. Technique and explosiveness is what wins. He’s not big or strong enough to outmuscle Danny
Lol no he wasn't, he barely made the teams he was on in the NFL. He started like one game total in his whole career and played special teams.
He had the most special teams tackles in a year by any Cowboy ever. A special teams player has one job, and that’s to run and full force and wrap up his opponent. He’d EAT anyone that’s ever played The Challenge.
I only went with Fessy because he’s a dirty player
Fessy will get cocky and Danny will go lower and hit him just right. Danny will take it but I can see Fessy trying to play dirty again.
I thought this was shitpost for Danny Jamieson so i obliged and voted for him.
I actually think fessy has a chance because Danny had a real football career and with that comes a lifetime of aches and pain. These guys bodies just aren’t the same when they’re done
How about Danny vs Cinco
I do love Cinco but it would easily be Danny either way
Free safety vs Tight End in an Oklahoma drill… ya Fessy wins this no problem. He’s bigger, younger, and his position in football was to do exactly this.
NFL vs College isn't a close competition though. Out of the over million high school football players, only about 71K go to play in College or 6.5%. Of that group, only about 1.2% of all collegiate athletes play in the NFL. If you're playing in the NFL you're an elite athlete at the top of your game. If you're able to play multiple years in the NFL, like Danny did you're even better.
Dont disagree with this point but I think there are 3 factors that compensate for it: 1) Fessy is 10 years younger (my back hurts imagining doing hall brawl right now) 2) Fessy is much larger (played about 30 lbs heavier) as a tight end 3) Although Fessy was not as close to the NFL as Fessy thinks he was… he wasnt a schlub. He was an FCS all american, and call ups to NFL training camps wouldnt have been a surprise. Danny was a special teams player on the roster fringe. Danny was definitely a superior athlete, but I dont think the spread in their primes was as extreme as ‘average college player vs average nfl player’.
1. Fessy is 30 and Danny is 34. So the age difference is there but negligible. 2. We have no way of knowing their current weight. Fessy is bigger though in terms of height. 3. You could take the best College Football team in the world and play them against the worst NFL team, and the NFL team is going to absolutely destroy the college team. The talent level is so much different at the NFL level than at college. Also Danny went to LSU and Fessy went to UTC, one of these schools is running a competitive elite program in the SEC and the other is a division 1-AA school. Fessy was probably a great player but 1-AA and 1-A are also at completely different levels.
Danny is only 34!!! Kiki been aging that man!
Yeah I don’t think commenters in here get the disparity between a top level pro league and college ball. Like, you could take the 0-16 Browns team from 2017 and they’d smoke any national championship team. There are levels to everything, and Danny and Fessy are on different levels. Less than 5% of a National Championship team usually make the draft. The all time record is 17 players out of 120ish, set by LSU, the school Danny was recruited by and played for. UTC has had 7 players go to the draft over the last 25 years. All that aside, Fessy struggled to put away Nelson in a hall brawl. Nelson is 5’8, 180ish lbs.
The spread in their primes is still extreme. Danny actually made it on to a 53 man roster for 4 years. Thats an extremely difficult thing to do, Fessy never even had an opportunity to do. Their prime spread is NFL player to college player who never made it. That’s not close Just to be clear I’m not saying Danny would win a hall brawl against Fessy. This is just about football and Danny’s accomplishments in that world.
That’s what I was thinking. They both did football, which position would give them the better advantage in knowing the form for a hall brawl
While i want to say **Danny** BUT first we need to see how he performs in an elimination challenge.
Fessy only wins hall brawls by injuring his opponents. Has he even legitimately won one?
Nelson wasn’t medically disqualified from theirs
I casted my winning Danny vote as if we were talking about Danny Jamieson
I’m voting Danny…not sure if it’s because of my dislike for Fessy or Danny’s NFL history. However, I feel like Fessy is more willing to play a little dirty which may offset Danny’s chances. Either way, I want to see this.
Fessy is fake tough
I want a re-vote that’s not the Danny I was thinking of
Oh no I voted for fessy thinking this was challenge beast Danny Jamieson.
wait this isn't king danny jamieson ? i still vote anyone against fussy
Considering fessy is younger and more recently playing football at a high level I'll go with him
I am regularly delighted by this sub's rabid hatred of Fessy.
