Jaire Alexander is a gem … never change, king.

It’s been a weird season for Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, and it just got even weirder — hilariously weirder, but weirder nonetheless.

Prior to the Christmas Eve game between the Packers and Carolina Panthers, Alexander anointed himself as one of the captains of the team. Then afterwards, he made what head coach Matt LaFleur labeled as a “big mistake” by almost funkin’ up a call after the Pack won the coin toss. And though that might be hilarious to us, it pissed off Green Bay enough where they hit Alexander with a one-game suspension.

The Packers put Alexander on the reserve/suspended list Wednesday for what the franchise described as “conduct detrimental to the team.”

If all of that wasn’t bizarre and funny enough, Alexander made the situation even better with a straight up comical interaction with the press. And this is also when we find out why Alexander did what he did: He’s from Charlotte.

Alexander also said this in the same media session (LMAO):

If you don’t remember Alexander, he’s the same guy who clapped back at Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless around this time 2022 for some critical comments they made … doing so while hilariously wearing a gargantuan Packers hat.

I don’t care what anybody says. I like this guy. A barrel of laughs, this one. Classic. And shoutout to the Queen City!
