Always on the Sidelines But Never Out

If you frequent social media, especially in the football realms, you're probably very familiar with the "First Time?" gallows meme/gif. This particular piece of internet art comes from the Netflix movie, "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," showing actor James Franco with a noose around his neck, making light of a perilous situation and asking another potential gallows victim if it's their first time being there. The meme/gif is often used when a fan is upset about a situation, and another fellow fan is expressing humorous empathy because they've been in that situation before.

You may have seen this used in the last few days as Green Bay Packers fans refreshed their news feeds, hoping for the team to sign a big-ticket free agent like the rest of the league, only for them to announce nothing but trades and player releases on the coveted "legal tampering day.
