Rex Chapman retweeted this which is the only reason I saw it. Original tweet and Noble response below…
FC/OT: Brandon Noble pops up in an interesting tweet about Dan Snyder…

- Start date
Yeah. Found a second career as a mostly ‘feel good story’ Twitter personality. Talks a lot about his opioid addiction recovery and some political stuff (especially as it relates to opioids in Kentucky). But he retweets all kids of sports stuff too.
I was with my brother once visiting his girlfriend’s family’s house with a bunch of other people. My brother was late 30s at this point, his girlfriend mid-20s. As we all left the house we all thanked the family for having us over. My brother was the last to leave and said farewell to the mother, then I heard him say, “Thanks Mr. Smith”. The mother immediately chimes in and says, “Bob, his name is Dr. Smith.” I turned and saw my brother giving the mother a blank stare before he said, “OK”, then left. Amazing arrogance.
Reminds me of the bit Steve Martin would do when someone would call him Mr. Martin - ‘Oh please, it’s not Mr. Martin - it’s Mr. Steve Martin.’
I had an entirely different thought, probably not fit for a family board....
It sounds like Bugs Bunny should have thrown a pineapple at someone, probably you and your brother, and McKully Culkin should probably sling ewok nuts at your power couple inlaws too.
Why would you tweet about your daughters friends and family? Seems inappropriate and puts your daughters on the spot with regards to their friends.
He proposed. She said no. He traded the ring in for cash that day, booked a trip to the Grand Canyon. She told him two days later that she was reconsidering. He told her that he wasn’t and was moving on. She ended up marrying a guy about ten years older than my brother. I always thought she was a bit nutty though oddly enough, I had pretty good chemistry with her sister.
Worse yet it was his friend’s daughters. Wasn’t his story to tell.
If you’ve ever been to Steelers training camp, you might have seen one of the Rooney’s. They are the opposite of Dan (I’ll never call him Mr.) Snyder. I was there maybe 6-7 years ago. Mr. Rooney (who would probably be okay with Art but gets my respect) pulled up on a golf cart. I watched him walk through the fans shaking hands and thanking them for supporting his team. Then he got on the field, found Coach Tomlin and asked if he or the team needed anything. If I didn’t recognize him, I never would have suspected he was the owner. He didn’t expect anyone to get out of his way or wait on him. He was there to help out the team and showed a humble sort of respect to everyone he interacted with.
I had an english professor at PSNK by the name of Dr. Grendon, but she preferred to be called Mrs. Grendon. One day in class, she was asked why she preferred to be called Mrs. Grendon rather than Dr. Grendon, and she replied, "Because it took me a lot longer to become a Mrs. than it did to become a Dr."
Assuming it happened years ago - Brandt and friend not young, kids were on a play date, etc. Likely water way under the bridge
No story about Dan Snyder’s dickishness surprises me. I almost want to meet him now and have him say that to me so I could say something like “I’ll just call you short cocksucker - how’s that sound?”
it’s very liberating not to give 1 shit how someone feels about you - and they can do you no harm

He should have said "Oh, sorry, thanks Mister Doctor Smith."
There are a million “Call me Mr. Snyder” stories. Strange dude.
