Nah, that's nonsense. If you are extremely valuable in the most important parts of your job you can get away with avoiding shit that is not essential.
You notice how his contract is with the Seahawks who care not at all about his behavior?

They barely even ask questions; they decide what they want the player to say to fit their story, then hit them with a "Can you talk about X…?"

The biggest thing I learned buying my my last car (think I could have done better) is have a magic number in mind at the first dealership you go to. If they can't match it you have to walk away and try another dealership. I think my wife and at some point subconsciously decided we were walking out that day with the…

I don't remember the context but wasn't the name "Gregory Strong" used? GOT reference?

All I gotta say is "obsessive liking" is goddamn terrible phrase

"Atom…what about the Saints, Angels, Padres too? Ain't that the same thing for Christians that's offending you?"

Atom and His Package - "If You Own the Washington Redskins You're a Cock"

Weird Al - The Food Album
(Long period of only Weird Al purchases)
Non Weird Al division: The Real McCoy - Another Night

and then there's the extra layer of weeping about it in the comments of an article on said pictures

…And my axe!

I have read a good amount of criticism of DS2 that I didn't necessarily notice as I was playing it, but looking back it is pretty fair.

He's the super-smart guy, which the dumb writers only know how to demonstrate via knowledge of trivia

Wow, wonder how long it took them to figure that one out…

not just data, but the man hours to create all of it.
I don't have time to play Walking Dead again, so I still have that illusion of having played a somewhat unique version of the game based on my choices. If you go back to play again and start to see how it is less fluid than you originally thought, I can see that…

You're a kid and Spice Channel's scrambling lines up just right?

I would be utterly amazed to find that Ryan North could ever do wrong.

Chris Farren is an American hero

He had a show that came out on Netflix a while back, but I haven't watched it for fear it is not good…amazingly I have seen zero talk about it anywhere.

Well given that he is narrating the story, I think the most obvious answer is that he is intentionally dropping those hints. I don't think it is unreasonable to think it is less obvious to an in-story person listening to him vs one reading the book. Personally I didn't pick up on it without reading something outside…

I think the difference is this seems completely contrived, the Poochie comparison seems exactly right. If you go back and read that Gameological interview with the Saints Row 4 guy, you can tell the game and all of its weird shit is there because he sincerely loves it. This just reeks of desperation and phoniness.
