Fanatics Fest selected 50 lucky fans who have submitted a video with their skills, and it is no surprise to see why Deathh, a Philadelphia Sports Fanatic, was selected after his entry.
“Michael Rubin is popping up and fanatics is doing great to promote. So I saw this, I do a lot of stupid things when it comes to sport,” Dernish told Fox Business. So I had something like: “Why don’t you try this?” So I made a video and I try to challenge my students, so I put the video a teacher versus student game that I had a student about. Kid tried to take a lead, so I went on top of him. “
Dernish is a former Division I -Trackloper in East Carolina. He has the second fastest time in school history in the 800 meters at 1: 49.93. He also played for Red Lion’s football and basketball teams when he was present, and he is now a 2-handicap in Golf.
In his videoHe recorded some of those highlights, as well as that he shot a half-court on a 76er game. So it is no surprise that he dominates the competition.
Challenges included Quarterback Skills, Pitching accuracy, closest to the PIN, a UFC Striking Challenge and, perhaps unfortunately for Donish, a WWE walk.
The teacher admitted that he will definitely be a “meme” at school next year after his WWE -Walkout -video Went viral.

“I absolutely hoped that the WWE-WWE-Walkout video would not come out. But then I saw Fanatics Fest posted it. I had something like that … uh-oh,” he said.
Dernish said he “left a few points with football”, but at least the die-hard Eagles fan is for Eli Manning.
“That feels good,” he said proudly.
“The one I was most happy with was baseball. I couldn’t repeat what I did.
Other stars that participated on Friday in the competition (who wiped out Dernish) are Dwight Howard, Rob Gronkowski, Russell Wilson, CJ Stroud and Julian Edelman.

But Dernish has to stick to some Hoop Cam Newton, this Bryant, Joe Burrow, Odell Beckham Jr., Travis Hunter, and many others have not yet started their rounds.
If no fan ends in the top three, the highest scoring fan still receives $ 100,000, so Dennish is in good condition, whatever happens.
