We’re back with another edition of Patty’s Players, and I’ll be quite honest, this is getting more and more fun each article I put out. I think eventually this may become a quick video piece, but for now I’ll just pray the text stuff comes through in the tone I’d like.

We’ve already gone through five former players, the fabulous, or FAB 5, if you will. So that would make this week’s selection the sixth.

Through the annals of time, there have been many phenomenal hype men. For example: Jimmy Hart, Puff Daddy, Paul Heyman, Flava Flav, Bill Alfonso and every single person who catches the holy spirit at their services on each lovely Sunday morning.



This week, we saw the return of an up and comer. A hype man who not only can back up those who need it but live up to the hype of what a hype man should be at times: comedic relief.

So without further ado, I give to you, our Patty’s Player of the week: Jameis Winston

Jameis is perhaps one of the most lovable guys on this years Saints roster. The man is about as genuine as they come, and you really must wonder at times if he does some of these things for the comedic impact, or if it’s just genuinely who he is. Regardless, I do not care. Jameis has become must watch TV. Whether he is throwing for 5,000 yards, or eating dubs in a pregame huddle, the guy is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining players for me to watch.

I present to you, exhibit a, and the reason this has become top of mind this week:

I’d like to first and foremost thank the Buccaneers, for not knowing what they had, and giving up someone as fun and relatable as a Jameis Winston. In the meantime, their current QB just took time off to go receive some sort of cosmetic work. Seriously has anyone seen that guy lately? He looks like he just stuck his finger in an electrical socket.

Now I’ll admit, I had my doubts, and this is documented in previous articles I’ve written, but the closer we get to starting this season with him under center, the more excited I am to call him our QB1.

I’d like to thank Jameis for keeping me on my toes, and I just know if he read this, he would be verbally urging me to continue, shouting words of affirmation to back me up and keep me going. For that, I am genuinely appreciative.
