Ben DiNucci: Not Many Beers Better Than the “I Just Got Cut From the NFL for the 7th Time” Beer

Don’t get it twisted. There are good beers and there are even great beers. There’s also Ben DiNucci’s beer that was poured for him inside an airport after getting cut from the NFL…for the seventh time.

That’s where former Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci finds himself. He’s the definition of a journeyman QB and a guy who once started a game for Dallas and immediately got roasted by Jerry Jones, who compared having to play DiNucci to literally being forced to start a practice squad wide receiver at quarterback.

That’s a laugh-out-loud killshot from your own boss. Brutal.

Anyways, fast forward to 2025, and DiNucci just got cut again, this time by the Falcons. His response this time around wasn’t some sappy goodbye note. He skipped the “God’s Plan” Instagram post and tweeted out a picture of a beer with the caption that basically said: nothing hits like the airport, just-got-cut beer.

Honestly? Respect.

There’s constant debate on which type of beer is the best. An airport beer is at the top of the list, right alongside the first beer on vacation, the first on a golf course, the first by the pool or at the beach and I’ve been told, the first after becoming a dad.

Personally, I’m an airport martini guy myself, assuming the establishment is competent enough prepare one for me. If that doesn’t work, I immediately go to the shot of bourbon (classic) and a strong IPA to really get myself right before boarding.

Mix in an edible and you’re basically flying the plane yourself. I tend to stay away from Xanax or any type of pill because I don’t want to be “lights out” 30,000+ feet up in the air.

I would be foolish to not mention how much trouble that’s gotten me into over the years, specifically on Phans of Philly trips, but hey, we’re only human.

Any way you look at it, there’s something beautiful about the “NFL told me to pack my shit (again)” beer. It’s elite. None of us will ever truly understand it, because we haven’t been cut from the league seven times.

Ben DiNucci gets it and he owns it. The guy’s not even mad anymore. He’s making content. He’s creating his own little NFL reality show in real time. That’s how you survive as a fringe QB. Make people laugh while drinking a cold one at the terminal gate.

Ben DiNucci could make it even better by drinking seven beers to honor each time he gets cut. If it happens again, he drinks eight airport beers, and continues until he reaches his final landing spot.

Now, someone please sign this man to a practice squad. I need him to get his 8th “you’re cut” beer tweet before the year ends.
