Adam Botkin's NFL outing comes with a kicker's question

A joke from behind the camera turns a field-goal attempt into a familiar subject for Botkin's viewers: where he should try out.

Hate To See It 😂

Arms crossed in the stands, Adam Botkin watches an NFL field-goal attempt. The camera follows the kick, then swings back with a question: "You wish that was you, huh?" Botkin smiles and laughs.

That is almost the whole of "Hate To See It 😂," a brief spectator moment that reached about 95,000 views in nine hours, already well beyond his usual first-day Shorts audience.

For the University of Montana football alum, the joke has some history behind it. His channel includes an NFL tryout, a workout in front of scouts and the self-explanatory "Why I'm Not In The NFL... (2023 Edition)." More recently, he has been recreating missed NFL field goals and asking which team needs a kicker.

His viewers have suggestions. Green Bay and the Rams recur in the comments, with people urging him to make a call or come to their team. Those are supporters' recruiting pitches, not reports of openings. Even when Botkin is watching from the seats, his comment section is still trying to get him onto the field.
