Jerry Jeudy Had a Real Curb Your Enthusiasm Moment at the NFL Combine

NY Post – Jerry Jeudy was a five-star recruit coming out of Deerfield Beach, Fla., but that does not explain why he proudly and boldly wears a gold six-pointed Star of David around his neck.

Jeudy sported the necklace Tuesday as he took the podium at the NFL Combine, with the Jewish star on full display. Jeudy got the idea after hearing how many people shorten his last name when they referred to him.

“People call me ‘Jew’ for short,” he explained. That prompted him to get the Jewish star, which he wore while playing at Alabama.

“I’m not Jewish, though,” he said.

So this happened at the NFL Combine last week, but I never got a chance to blog it and I couldn’t let the story pass without touching on it. The Alabama product is the top rated wide receiver and is projected to go in the first handful of picks in the draft so this became a headline. Now I don’t watch a ton of Bama games so I have no idea if this nickname is a long time thing or not, but Jeudy was rocking a blinged out Star of David necklace at his combine press conference. Plenty of athletes have diamond encrusted Jesus pieces so this is no different. Except Jeudy isn’t actually Jewish. Nope, he said he wears the chain because his nickname is “Jew/Jeu.” Predictably Jeudy had to apologize on twitter for potentially offending anyone, but when I heard this I was howling. This is an episode synopsis right out of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

“Larry’s long suffering football team the New York Jets drafts Jerry Jeudy, but when Larry learns of the receiver’s Star of David necklace he must decide between his religion and his football team.”

Jerry Seinfeld Is Playing With My Emotions And I Do Not Appreciate It

Decider – “So all these sitcoms are having a resurgence,” DeGeneres began. “So Roseanne is doing it, Murphy Brown – is that really true? Murphy Brown’s doing it?” “I think I know where you’re going with this, but why don’t you finish it,” Seinfeld jested. “Do you think, Jerry, there would be a possibility that Seinfeld would come back?” DeGeneres asked. “It’s possible,” he responded, causing the audience to erupt into wild applause and cheers.

Jerry Seinfeld you old wily bastard. Playing with my and everyone else’s heartstrings. He knows what he’s doing. He knows how to play the game. Still, this is just evil.

The worst part about it is, if in a limited fashion, I don’t think bringing back “Seinfeld” would be a bad thing. It’s well known that the show stopped because Jerry Seinfeld himself sort of just ran out of shit to write, he’s said it himself. Ratings were great, the show was popular, but he was just sort of done.

That said, I’ve long contended that one season – just one little season of television – addressing modern technology and the information age’s influence on those characters’ lives would be HILARIOUS. Imagine George’s DMs getting out? Imagine Jerry getting dumped over a “new phone who’s this?” when he legit had to get a new phone? There is NO END in sight.

RUN WITH IT JERRY. RUN WITH IT.
