Dave Aranda drops tWolf of Wall Street/Freaks quote

The question was about the negative side-effects of the transfer portal and NIL. The answer was... not about that. At least not at first.
Three seconds in, when Baylor head coach Dave Aranda uttered the phrase "they're throwing midgets," you realize you're in for a wild ride. Aranda has a cerebral personality, a deadpan delivery, and a diverse set of interests. That means anything is viable to come out of his mouth at any time, and when it does he'll deliver it with a straight face.
quote:
Aranda was making a point on how too often in college football coaches will make players feel like a part of the proverbial family only to treat them like commodities it's go time. To make that point, Aranda recalled the scene in The Wolf of Wall Street when Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and company are discussing hiring a little person to throw at a spinning wheel of money. But before they can do that, Hill points out, they must first make the performer feel like one of them.

The fact that at no point Dave thought “what am I fricking saying? Is this a good idea?” And was just dead fricking serious is hilarious

Is "midget" politically correct? It doesn't bother me.

Aranda just needs to put this on his suit lapel.

I've known a few little people in my day. For most part alot of those folks have a demented dark sense of humor.

You might even call it low or base humor.

maybe a tad overrated, that 2019 team had too much talent on it to be giving up what they did in some games . I remember him playing press man coverage against Bama late in that game to let things get more interesting than they should have been.
he did have a high floor though

6 months working for Les miles rubbed off on him.
