  I’m hearing Pat Mahomes also weeps like a schoolgirl bitch after he loses at home.

  Was Williams weeping or breastfeeding?

  The thing that’s missing in Derek’s article is talking about why Penix has been a model of maturity in terms of emotional regulation vs. Williams.
  
  We all have talked about how USC has become Charmin soft. I think a lot that is due to the sense of entitlement and their players having faced little adversity.
  
  Williams and Penix are both transfers. But Penix has had to deal with injury, being redshirted, learning a new system with a new coach. Williams however came with Riley from OU and has basically led a charmed career with all sorts of awards and accolades. A UW QB usually understands they will have to fight for everything. A USC QB thinks the regular season is a mere formality before being crowned a winner.
  
  So I’m not surprised Williams got emotional…might’ve been one of the first times in his young life he had to feel disappointment or failure.

  He’s going to be a high draft pick to a perennial loser. He better get use to losing.

  What I saw at the end of that game is a kid who has likely been spoon fed his entire life by the adults around him due to having a lot of talent. It's normal for players to show emotion after a win or loss but a 20+ year old adult sobbing in his mommy's arms after losing a football game suggests some deep emotional/developmental issues

  He’s gonna pull an Eli Manning and refuse to play for the Bears. Cook it.

  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that dad isn't in the picture, is divorced and distant, a deadbeat, or a total sissy.

  After the game, Williams said he wanted to go home, cuddle with his dog, and watch Netflix.
  
  Made me think, we’ve come a long way from Tebow’s speech after Gators dropped one game to Ole Miss.
  
  Same question, two different mindsets.

  What might have been had SC had a below-average D. Love that the Dawgs crushed his season and dreams.

  Per my google sheets, literally 90% of this board cries when they have an orgasm. Give the guy some slack. If anything he realized the endorsements that come with being a Heisman winner are likely to dry up after the season.

  Listen here Sonny. At my age you have to work pretty hard to get there. It can get emotional.

  When I orgasm, I yell up to my two dads while my partner cries with happiness.
