When does Jalen finally tell whoever is calling plays to go fuck himself and just run stuff that he can see will work from his position in the middle of the field?

MGEmancipation @mgemancipation.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I hope Prof. @priyamvadagopal.bsky.social is organising the campaign to get Orr fired from his position in the Divinity faculty @ Cambridge. The man has been caught on camera suborning bribery for the purpose of destabilising our elections. 020
