'We Could Let Our Motherfucking Nuts Hang' - Sean McVay Revealed His Tequila-Induced Call To Convince The Rams To Trade For Matthew Stafford
[Source] - They met for drinks poolside, talking football. A bond forged over sun and booze. McVay returned to his hotel and, "a few tequilas in," he says now, hopped on a FaceTime with Rams brass, unleashing a plea that's now legendary around the team's office. "Here's the f---ing deal, OK? We can sit here and exist, and be OK winning nine to 11 games, and losing in the f---ing divisional round and feel like, 'Oh, everything's OK.' Or, we could let our motherf---ing nuts hang, and go trade for this f---ing quarterback, and give ourselves a chance to go win a f---ing world championship. You ready to f---ing do this or what?"
Fuck, that's an awesome line. I don't care what you think about the Rams, Stafford or McVay. Getting a little drunk and confident is something we've all done in our lives. What we typically don't do though is call our bosses and convince them to do something. I wouldn't even dare think about that. But McVay dropping a line 'we could let our motherfucking nuts hang' is so awesome.
I love that line.
Any time you can talk about dropping your nuts to go win something more than 11 games and make the Divisional Round you have my attention. That's what McVay did here. Oh we can exist and we can be whatever. Or we can let our motherfucking nuts hang.
Dude could be in sales. He even ended it with a classic sales guy move. You ready to fucking do this? Uhh yeah man. If I was in charge I'd make the trade too. McVay just convinced me in a couple of sentences. Goes to show you what tequila or alcohol can do to you. Probably a good thing he ran into Stafford in Cabo and not Sam Darnold.
It worked out! Hard to argue against a Super Bowl.
I love how McVay operates. Doesn't give a shit about draft picks. Give him the best players right now and he'll figure it out. Hard to argue against him. Dude is successful and winning. Got a Super Bowl, made another one. Then I remember we're the same age and I get incredibly jealous.
Let our motherfucking nuts hang. That's gotta be the Rams public motto from here on out.
