Meet 9 Year Old Jack Meyer – The Good Job, Good Effort Kid

NBC Miami – Dejected and down after a devastating loss Tuesday night, the Miami Heat players slowly trudged down the tunnel toward their locker room. But one young fan heard on the game broadcast was sincerely trying to pep up LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and the rest of the team. “Good effort, good job! Good job, good effort!” The face behind that voice is 9-year-old Jack Meyer. “I said ‘Good job, good effort’ and Terrel (Harris) noticed me and gave me a thumbs up,” he said. The video has gone viral, and Jack’s enthusiasm has inspired a twitter account, @goodjobkid, with more than 3,500 followers. Jack has been a Heat fan since he was 3 or 4. He loves to play ball with his dad, and enjoys collecting the team’s memorabilia in his room. His Heat-themed bed is “super cozy,” he says. So when people have the audacity to question whether the young Coral Gables hoops fan was mocking the Heat, the passion in his voice makes it obvious where he stands. “LeBron James was fighting so hard, Shane Battier, Udonis Haslem. Chris Bosh only played 14 minutes, yet one of his best games,” he said. Jack, who was at the game with his father James, hopes his cheers will encourage the team for Game 6. “You can’t give up this easily,” he said. “You know there’s always got to be a second chance for you. You always have the power to win.”
Has there ever been more of a “We’re not laughing with you, we’re laughing at you” moment in the history of humankind? Hey Jack its pretty awesome that you’ve been a big fan since you were 3 or 4 and have a super cozy bedroom, but guess what?
The world hates you, Lebron, Wade, Battier, Haslem, Bosh and the entire city of Miami with the fire of a thousand suns. Truth hurts.
So when the media talks about your enthusiasm and your loyalty and all that other jazz, the rest of the real world just thinks of you as the poster child for a bunch of underachieving losers who think that just doing a good job and giving a good effort is enough. A bunch of guys who are happy with their individual first half performances who can’t even get past Old Man Garnett and the rest of the old folks on the Celtics. But good job getting that thumbs up from Terrel Harris. Good effort.
PS – On a serious note though, not being sarcastic or making fun anymore, good job and good effort with that comb-over flow. Great lettuce. If you weren’t such a bitch rooting for the Heat and talking about your super cozy bedroom I bed you’d be a ladykiller


even their fans are born losers
and if my kid ever says super cozy I’m dropping him off at an orphanage
this kid will grow up to be a tool
Surprised he isn’t wearing lensless glasses, I heard they’re all the rage.
these are the children of pussified america, Generation Participation Trophy. hey, you lost a pivotal game 5 in your house and have been outplayed 4 games in a row, but you showed up and played, and that’s what counts.
as a grown man, i can’t directly say what i want to say about this 9 year old kid. so take it away, cartman…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V354SFzDwMc
Does this look like a face of a kid who sucks at every sport
Just a touch of Downs
KFC–I thought you were rooting for the Heat.
i bet this kid ends up playing lacrosse someday.
I imagine this is what Mark Cuban looked like at 9.
I honestly wish I could be this enthusiastic. Beats having to buy 3 new tvs every year and stealing marble ryes to pay down gambling debts
Kid is a champ. More heart than the entire team.
I honestly thought that was Spoelstra last night screaming good job. The picture actually looks like Spo
Making fun of a little kid for trying to read. Are you psycho? Do you not have a soul?
Bro, nobody hates the heat for rational reason, and thus nobody cares about who hates the heat and who doesn’t. Personally I form my own opinions and am not brainwashed by the same sports media that turned Lebron from a relatively normal guy into a weird, awkwardly self-conscious brand. I get that people hate Lebron because of what they made him into, but honestly nobody cares about hatred that is grounded in absolutely nothing. Can you all (mostly just Portnoy) please stop writing about how much you hate the fucking heat and maybe start writing about how much you like your own teams. Granted, we all know Portnoy doesn’t actually like sports and just has to keep up the facade so people don’t think he’s a chick, but KFC you are a diehard Mets fans and the shit you write about them is fucking hilarious. Making fun of the little tard is funny, but nobody needs to hear more about Lebron unless you are making “Delonte fucked his mom” jokes. There are plenty of anti-Heat blogs out there to read, nobody except for delusional racists micks from boston comes on to this website to read about a fucking basketball team in Miami all day. Okay, that might be about 1/5 of the pageviews you guys get (maybe 1/3 on boston page), but please have some respect for the rest of your readers throughout the country. You can only grow so much within Boston and risk losing everybody else if this nonsense doesn’t stop. I want to be entertained, which KFC almost always does. Pres hasn’t been funny in weeks, he’s too wrapped up in anger, jealousy, and probably his upcoming divorce to actually sit down, chill out, have a beer, and crank out a quality blog like he used to. Pres is dead to me, but I hope if enough of us post this shit we can get some CPR going.
^^ dude no one reads blogs that long much less comments.
I don’t hate this kid, I love this kid. He’s a joke but I love him
guestbutt I read your post… the first 3 lines at least, and we all hate LeBron because he’s a total asshole, he fucked Cleveland yet continues to talk about how much he loves the city. If he loved the city and the place he came from, he might have been straight up and honest with them when he knew he was heading to South Beach. Instead, he strung them along, didn’t say a word all so he could put on “the decision” which is another reason he’s a total asshole. Everyone talked about him like he’s the next Jordan, so you’d think that would be enough press for him, but no, it wasn’t, he wants to be on everyone’s tongue at all times, well now he is… he’s the villain of the NBA and everyone who isnt a fan of him wants to see him not win a championship every year.
He’s the Duke of the NBA, when he loses, everyone else feels like a winner
@guestbutt ”..delusional racist micks from Boston…” Can you call a group of people racists while simultaneously being racist yourself without sounding like an absolute moron? Hint: The answer is “no.”
By looking at this kid he’s clearly missed at a minimum 3 links on the evolution chain.
GuestButt…you are the racist one…you are also an idiot….
gotta respect a fan who wont let his team give up…but damn, good job, good effort just about sums up everything that is wrong with the heat…and carlos boozer
