I see the radio show wants attention, and I am killing time since the Mets aren’t on, so sure, I’ll play.
“And it’s not because of injury, but … it’s more about notoriety,” Esiason said. “It’s more about celebrity than it is actually about pitching. (via WFAN website)
My #1 follower is not Matt Harvey. I got your back here Thor.
So the comparisons are easy and lazy. Mets Pitchers. Check. Superhero nicknames. Check. Except one guy actually took the superhero thing seriously and hung a Batman logo on his locker, whereas the other is clearly having fun with it. Clearly having fun with it.
One guy seemed to actually think he was Bruce Wayne. The other walked around in a slightly too small Thor costume and lets you know he’s in on the joke. It’s a goof. He doesn’t think he’s Thor.
One guy got anointed THE NEXT SEAVER. Noah is just Noah. The guy some of you didn’t want because he cost you a journeyman knuckle who had an extreme outlier of a year once. Noah has long blonde hair and a last name that sounds “Nordic” so he’s Thor. It’s not as forced as THE DARK KNIGHT or even CAPTAIN AMERICA.
So Noah goes to sports games and dates pretty women. I bet a lot of athletes do that. Does that make them Matt Harvey? No. Matt Harvey would show up at Spring Training in a Maserati because at heart he’s a 14 year old boy with money and access to naked women.
Noah isn’t that.
The guy is actually entertaining on social media. Sure there have been some missteps like the thing with cuckolding the mascot – but that’s over now.
Noah is just going about his business, and tweets a little more than the next guy. Matt Harvey went FULL NAMATH before having the resume.
Thor has not gone FULL NAMATH, he’s just having some fun. And we’re all in on the joke. He’s also 40-26 in his career.
