There's nothing the Internet embraces more than a good pun, particularly in regard to someone's name.
So when a dude named John Mayers started trending, folks became giddy with delight.
The one with the s at the end of his name is a freshman place kicker for the Baylor Bears.
But not the nauseatingly popular singer-songwriter.
Yes, we're also very excited.
Here's why this Mayer with an s is now a thing:

Yep, that's pretty darn special.
As you can see, the media's taken an interest in the dude who just successfully converted his first collegiate field goal:

Just reminding everyone that the kicker's name is John Mayers, for puns' sake.

That looks painful.

I was trying to workshop John Mayers tweets and the best I could come up with was "his right leg is a wonderland" when this was right there. Disappointing effort by me. You work all offseason for these moments and it hurts to fall short. https://t.co/pnbxxv2qVX

And circle gets the square.
If you're interested, Big John's World Tour is beginning soon.
In the meantime, we're just waiting on the world to change.
