This kid is so stupid and is messing with his dad's career pulling **** like this. I guess now Deion can say he doesn't have the most egotistical son.

 

[FortressX]

Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich's son was behind the Shedeur Sanders prank call

Falcons issued a statement explaining the situation.

If it ever goes to court he can claim temporary JETEsanity.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Don't like Shed Sanders but that was downright cruel and wrong.

****ing kid is a hero

 

[Steve102]

Part of me agrees with @RobertWeathers and thinks it's wrong. The other part of me thinks that if I was applying for a job where there were quite literally 32 high paying positions in the world, and maybe half a dozen of those 32 had openings, even if I thought I was God's Gift to the NFL, like my father before me, I might not tell one or more of the people responsible to hire me that they shouldn't.

I do think the NFL coaches and FO brass have had enough of the NIL entitlement brats, and they took the opportunity to send a message. Further, I believe this kid's father knew he was gonna do it, even if he denies it. Further still, if the Sanders camp was really that upset by it, why wouldn't they just sit on the video instead of uploading it and letting the interwebs get a good laugh.

I guess I am here for the comeuppance and the chuckle.

This.

When describing players, we've heard Vrabes say they word, "professionalism" multiple times. Shed had zero and I do think a message was being sent to him by the NFL no question.

As i've said, I don't like what the kid did but there is a part of me which said, "good". A harsh position to take would be, "Maybe if you didn't act like such an entitled punk, you wouldn't have been punk'd".

 

[Huckleberry1]

It wasn’t Ulbrich’s kid, it was the devil. Same guy who caused Shedeur to slide. Don’t believe me, ask Dionne.

Nailed it, brother.

I 100% believe that whoever he told "don't pick me" picked up the phone almost before the kid was out of the parking lot and spread the word among their network of friends in the NFL. Then they told two friends, and they told two friends... You know the deal then.

I think the only reason he got picked by the Browns is because ownership meddled and told the staff to take him. I really believe he was going to go until the 7th. They were 100% sending a message.

How old is Jax Ulbrich?

 

[maust]

Was the prank call a douche move? Yep.
But lest we get carried away with false empathy, that call went out to the guy that built this in his own honor...




I find it hard to feel bad

That does certainly explain how the kid got his number. They were yuking it up over Shed's free fall and thats how it started. It's unfortunate he put his dad in a bad spot but I don't think the kid was scrolling through his dad's phone without permission.

He gave him the number.

21

Yeah, Sanders was already in the midst of a multi-day, ultra-public smackdown and shaming. That will teach him (and future players) a lesson. Adding out-of-bounds deliberate torment will just give him reason to feel like a victim.

 

[Ring 6]

21

Is he a college football player?

A 21 year old making a prank phone call is not shocking

I guess there's a print out with the draftees numbers on them. Still, the Dad needs plausible deniability. "Don't tell me what you're doing, man." Whether or not the kid snooped, grabbed the list, or stole Dad's phone is really irrelevant. I would also wager the Dad may have not given a ****, knowing the rest of the league was in on it, good 'ol boy style. If the Falcons fire him tomorrow, some other team is gonna love the fact they messed with the kid.

Hey, Dad, Brain Dabol is on the phone.

It's been reported the kid spied on his Dad's laptop to get the phone number.

I'll need to dig it up but read somewhere the Daboll/Shed meeting was scheduled for 2hrs and Brian cut it off after 30 minutes.

It that what happened? LOL. Good thing he wasn't on Pornhub...

That's the smoking gun IMO. Dabol lit the match and the fire spread quickly.

“Earlier in the week, Jax Ulbrich, the 21-year-old son of defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number for Shedeur Sanders off an open iPad while visiting his parent's home and wrote the number down to later conduct a prank call,” the Falcons said in their statement.
