It’s the meme that’s taking over the world, including pro and college sports.
If you’ve seen people on TikTok and other social media sites saying “What’s up brother?” and holding up one finger, or saying “Special teams, special plays, special players” or pounding their fists or flapping their arms and saying “Tuesday, Tuesday,” don’t worry — we explained the whole phenomenon so you get it.
That all comes from Madden streamer Sketch, who has become famous on Twitch and elsewhere for his various catchphrases. And the sports world has for sure caught on, with athletes everywhere doing videos and celebrations involving the meme.
