A full breakdown of "The Great Bamboozle
Posted: 12 May 2020 13:29
Hello everyone, I am EveryoneLovesNudez. For those who don't know me, I'm the one that turned the NFL media world upside down yesterday.
It all started a few weeks ago, I have a friend on the Seahawks who is friends with Justin Britt, their former starting C who got hurt. He got released, Britt told my friend, and then my friend told me. I posted on their sub that he was released, and then a few hours later, it was officially announced.
This gave me a lot of credibility inside the Seattle subreddit, and I knew I had to get back at them for the all-time robbery known as "The Fail Mary".
So I started thinking...what could I do? Then it hit me, fabricate a massive trade and see how far I could go with it. But who was the trade target? I wanted somebody at a premier position, top 5 at that position but most importantly...believable.
Mahomes? Nope, not believable.
Aaron Donald? Nope, also not believable.
How about a young pass rusher who is already one of the best in the league, but coming off of a pretty serious incident, which could possibly lead to him being moved?
Enter, Myles Garrett.
I started everything off with a teaser, posting the title as "something is happening " with the body that says "stay tuned"
This caught immediate attention, and people started going nuts. Shortly after, I posted a comment in the same post claiming there was a trade being worked on involving a big name, but i wouldn't clarify that name, or even if it was a player coming, or maybe even someone going.
Then, a few hours later I posted a BS "hint" that said "A Lannister always pays his debts" why? Because I was re-watching GOT at the time. Thats literally it. It had 0 meaning. I wanted to see people freak out and try to piece together a puzzle that secretly had half the pieces missing.
It was so much fun to watch this, most put together that The Lannister sigil is a golden lion...so that must mean it's a Lions player! This was quite amusing.
A few hours later I received a message from someone claiming to be with 950 KJR, a popular Seahawks radio station in Seattle, but it was from a new account made that same day with 0 Karma, so I ignored it.
A few minutes later i saw a comment from another user, saying KJR was talking on-air about trying to get me to come on the show, and I thought "oh &%$@, this is legit" and I messaged them back and we began talking. We agreed for me to come onto the show with them so I could finally reveal the name.

Afterwords, things really started to take off. The subreddit was going absolutely nuts thinking they traded for Myles Garrett, and it started getting local attention.
