NY Post headline on Jets QB Sam Darnold wins for most ridiculous headline of the day

The only thing that would’ve made this headline better (as in, more ridiculous) is if it included a “BREAKING NEWS” banner:

Sam Darnold gets 'wasted' and 'hooks up with girl' after Jets' big win https://t.co/jTlhsk2Ko1 pic.twitter.com/GEyoyl6H3s

22-year-old professional athletes — how do they work?

BREAKING NEWS: Sam Darnold is a 22 year old professional athlete https://t.co/F4waG6pl8z

He was celebrating the team’s 34-3 win over the Oakland Raiders:

Keep in mind, he did get to bed at a reasonable hour:

Oli Coleman is a creep and a half for writing this. 22 year old goes out after 3 game win streak and heads home at 1230 am?

And people have thoughts:

This is news?

I would never have done any of that at his age. And by any of that, I mean quarterback an NFL team to a victory. The rest of that stuff, you betcha.

I would expect nothing less from a 22 year-old NFL QB in NYC. Good for him. Broadway Joe would approve.

There were mono jokes, too (Darnold contracted mononucleosis earlier this season):
