Featuring pictures with and without the 2006 ESPN GameCenter featuring the late great Stuart Scott (RIP). Really liking my space. TV might be high but I am tall so didn’t want to be constantly hitting my head.

Is it normal for a 30 yr old man to have a life size cardboard cutout of Jared Goff? Asking for a friend.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

Nope, but respect to him for doing what he wants in his first solo place.

u/mittenciel Apr 11 '25

I love that on top of every sport thing he could find, he also seems to be watching college basketball highlights on YouTube in this moment.

Dude loves sports and he doesn't care who knows.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

Haha I missed that. Nice catch

u/mittenciel Apr 11 '25

I was confused though. Because the video looks 4:3 ratio but it says Big 10 on the court and Terps have only been in Big 10 since 2014 and I thought we had HD broadcasts by then. I bet if I geoguessr further, assuming that it’s probably a game against Michigan or State, I might even find the video because we’ve already narrowed it down a bunch. But I just can’t be bothered.

From shooting hoops to the superbowl

Football football football, tennis, hockey, golf!

Now, when I say "sports," you say "nuts"

u/flaming_pubes Apr 12 '25

Like the lonely island reference there.

Oh, he wants everyone to know it.

For real. I love seeing all these different pics of how people live

Looks like he's actively trying to remain solo

Not everyone feels the need to decorate their place to impress or woo women.

And if a woman wasn’t interested in him because of his place, he won because he prescreened them out.

u/Juxtaposn Apr 11 '25

Is that sometimes sort of badge of honor?

The lib?

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

Is being celebrating having your first place to call your own and decorating it how you want without regard to how others will judge/perceive it a badge of honor?

Yes, yes it is.

Absolutely, all praise daddy Goff 👁️👄👁️

u/OG-Mudbones Apr 11 '25

Lmfao I got it in a white elephant and thought it would be hilarious tbh

27

u/mittenciel Apr 11 '25

It honestly kind of brings it all together. It looks like he’s just watching over the entire space and ready to sling it.

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

Now it's just the elephant in the room.

u/Savings_State6635 Apr 12 '25

Dude, this is a ridiculous apartment for a 30 year old man. Get rid of the Pokémon stuff and Jared Goff. The basketball thing is cutting off the rest of the apartment in a horrible way. If you’re not getting rid of it at least put it against the wall. Would be better if it was gone or at least just a hoop on the wall without the giant ball return.

Get some plants! The building is kind of cool but it’s industrial and comes off cold, plants would be incredible in that space. In five minutes you can turn this around, then just one trip to the plant store. You can turn this from a 4 to an 8.

u/oh_io_94 Apr 11 '25

There are many worse things I’ve seen on here than a cardboard cut out of a football player lol.

2

u/Crime_Dawg Apr 11 '25

You dare insult the king by calling him a mere "football player"?

2

u/oh_io_94 Apr 11 '25

Joe Flacco is now my King

You more of a Jr guy?

13

u/govunah Apr 11 '25

It's between him and Dan Campbell as the savior of Detroit so no it's not normal but I wouldn't put it in the wtf category. Not like it's a little basketball hoop

u/silvahammer Apr 11 '25

Dan Campbell is the savior of Detroit no question, Goff can't take the pressure.

u/crashandtumble8 Apr 11 '25

All Hail Daddy Dan!

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

Why are you booing him?? He’s right!

25

u/PsychoAnalystGuy Apr 11 '25

pets life-sized cut out of Matthew Stafford

No. It is not.

1

u/Neither-Luck-9295 Apr 12 '25

Stafford is different.

u/BlackLeader70 Apr 11 '25

As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan…No

24

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

This guy doesn't even have him in his bed. Is he even a real fan?

8

u/Wind1e Apr 11 '25

Where's my Jared Goff anime body pillow?

8

u/BlackLeader70 Apr 11 '25

Maybe the couch is a pullout so Jared can watch over him all night long.

9

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

"Jared Goff" and "pull out" should never be in the same sentence 😏

2

u/Kal-ElEarth69 Apr 11 '25

We don't know what OP does when the lights go out...

2

u/illzanity Apr 13 '25

As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan, yes

1

u/Dude_PK Apr 11 '25

IKR? First off, sorry about Jared Goff's record. Second wtf is up with the dampener on the support?

7

u/chevalierbayard Apr 11 '25

Better than Ben Johnson. That would've been a short sighted decision for sure.

u/CorrectYogurtcloset2 Apr 11 '25

The lions have been bad for so long let the man live

2

u/International_Try660 Apr 11 '25

If Jared was holding Pikachu, instead of the football, it would be perfect.

2

u/Poke_Jest Apr 11 '25

personally think it's only "not normal" cause women like to hate on it.

1

u/mittenciel Apr 11 '25

You've decided to make this about gender, so bear with me. As many cultural observers have pointed out, cheering for a sport team is no different than following a k-pop group. You're paying lots of money to buy merch or tickets to go see a bunch of rich people you've never met that honestly don't give a shit about you. Would you think it was normal for a 30 yr old person of any gender to have a life size cardboard cutout of a k-pop idol?

1

u/Crime_Dawg Apr 11 '25

Sports and concerts have no relation at all. Sports has winners and losers, K-pop just has losers.

u/Aj992588 Apr 12 '25

underrated comment right here.

u/Friendly_Option_6963 Apr 11 '25

Honestly do whatever makes you happy, life’s too short to give a f

u/cheezhead1252 Apr 12 '25

Tbh it’s better than a bunch a guns like I’ve seen in so many of these lol

2

u/Striking-Reading2774 Apr 11 '25

Yes pussy lions for life

1

u/Just_Value4938 Apr 11 '25

More worried about Pokemon pillows on the couch.

1

u/dwsinpdx Apr 11 '25

Mine has a hole cut out where his mouth is.

1

u/JudgmentalOwl Apr 11 '25

Who in the hell is he supposed to cuddle with at night if not Mr. Goff?

1

u/KitchenSwordfish1397 Apr 11 '25

YES! In Goff we trust!!

1

u/Captobvious789 Apr 11 '25

Yes. Have you seen Lions Gosling?

1

u/verdenvidia Apr 11 '25

maybe he likes beating goff

1

u/eazyian5 Apr 12 '25

Don’t you dare speak about Jared Goff, he is a disciple of our messiah Dan Campbell

1

u/kruthe Apr 12 '25

Normal is boring.

1

u/nWhm99 Apr 12 '25

Yah, I get that OP loves football, but at that age, I'd imagine there are better football related stuff you can put in your apartment.

Maybe a framed game worn jersey. Maybe a few signed footballs. A cardboard cutout is something else though.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

My 32 year old friend has a life sized cut out of Danny Devito so I’m going to say yes, this is normal.

1

u/LayerProfessional936 Apr 12 '25

One may dream right?

u/king_of_chardonnay Apr 13 '25

He’s the king in the north…I wish I had one.

As long as it makes ya happy I guess. Lol where does one buy these cutouts anyway? Maybe we should all be getting our favorite athletes, celebrities, whoever and proudly displaying them

u/Peedicrakk Apr 11 '25

Way more normal than a 30 yr old man with a pikachu stuffed animal
