Story summary

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has not won a game in his first four weeks of the regular season. During halftime at a recent game against the Seattle Seahawks, a fan near the tunnel insulted him by saying, "Hey Herbert! Two meatball subs, man. You’re just as bad as your girl!" referring to Beer’s attractiveness and implying that Herbert's performance is subpar compared to his fiancée Madison Beer's looks. The comment went viral on social media, with many finding humor in the double entendre of using “bad” both negatively about Herbert and positively to describe Beer’s beauty. Fans had initially hoped for a Super Bowl win and a marriage celebration involving Beer within the next year, but only the latter remains on track due to the team's poor start.
