Present U.S. flag soccer QB say he is a greater Olympics possibility than Patrick Mahomes

Darrell “Housh” Doucette is working by means of the 5 levels of flag-football grief. If a kind of levels is delusion.

He is aware of that, with the game heading to the Olympics in 2028, one of the best soccer gamers on the earth will likely be kicking one of the best flag-football gamers to the curb.

That hasn’t stopped the present quarterback of the U.S. males’s staff from popping off. After just lately saying it’s “disrespectful” for NFL gamers to horn in on the chase for a gold medal, Douchette truly stated that he’s a greater choice to quarterback the U.S. staff than Patrick Mahomes.

“On the finish of the day,” Doucette instructed TMZ.com, “I really feel like I’m higher than Patrick Mahomes due to my IQ of the sport.”

After the interview, Doucette despatched a textual content message aimed toward taking among the “fool” out of his idiotic remarks.

“I’m not saying I’m a greater participant general however till he steps on a 5v5 flag area, I’m going to really feel that means till it’s confirmed in any other case,” Doucette stated. “I’m a competitor and have to be confirmed incorrect.”

That’s high-quality. However we don’t must see Mahomes play flag soccer. All we have to do is watch some flag soccer. Listed below are the highlights of the U.S. versus Italy in 2022.

With all due respect, these aren’t NFL gamers. Among the guys look out of form, frankly.

And whereas Doucette, who will likely be 39 by the point the subsequent Olympics occur, appears to be quick and shifty, he’s not being chased by NFL-caliber defensive backs.

Sorry, Housh and some other flag soccer gamers. If NFL gamers need in, you’ll be out.

At this level, the one hope for the present crop of flag-only gamers is that house owners will revolt towards the prospect of getting their greatest gamers injured whereas pursuing Olympic glory that provides nothing to the first groups’ effort to win a Tremendous Bowl. Though the league is “working . . . actively” on making it occur, as few as 9 house owners may scrap it, if/when it’s put up for a vote.
