Jerm said it during a JomezPro round earlier in the year that he's retiring from the tour and going commentator full time with DGPT. IMO Jerm doesn't need to be sponsored by a team as we'll hear from him every week on the Disc Golf Network. He may also comment for the Go Throw Tour aka GK Pro
Jerm responded to most of the comments & one that stuck out to me was "the only thing that's changing is a logo on my shirt" & Jerm confirmed that he's still a Big part of JomezPro 😎
Jerm replied to one of those "pushed-out" comments, letting the poster know that the change was agreed on mutually. Nothing bad going on. Jerm also posted on his own account his appreciation for his time at Innova.
How could anyone *not* like this guy? That's like not liking puppies. Even if his initials are BJ, he's one of the pillars of disc golf, and its rise in popularity. Hell I might start a company just to sign him.
This is a long shot but I commented on his post saying something along the lines of him maybe throwing mvp and he liked it and they both follow each other on IG so I think he might be going to mvp
It’s business. There seems to be a slowing in the trajectory of disc golf. Also, so many small companies are making good product, that they will eventually eat into the revenue of the bigger companies; like Innova. Less revenue, less marketing money, etc…it’s all business.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to icon team on discraft tbh. Big barri just makes sense, but also maybe he's pulling the scott stokely and starting his own line of discs
Idk why, but many stopped using Innova (mostly because aesthetics) and because of that their products have slightly declined.. I was playing when Innova and Discraft were the dominant brands, now they’re much more rare to be seen thrown. Unfortunate.
Might be a regional thing as well. Destroyers are thrown everywhere in my area. Seem like a lot of people in the Ohio area like innova, especially old pre flight number stuff
The Guy has an Asterisk ✳️ Next to The Major he was Given....Called Due To Weather....They gave him the W....there is no way he wasn't going to fall apart last round as Typical Big Jerm Fashion....the guy is not ever going to recover the money Innova Spent on Him..... Big Sexy Commentary was a Good Thing for Disc Golf. Post Round Commentary by JoMez was the epitomy of Live Disc Golf even if it was Post Event.....DGN took over and it's been down hill since.... Covid Disc Sales are back normal....those ppl have gone back to work or are now into pickleball corn holing with each other 😂😂
Has anyone done analysis on overall team sizes (I haven't)? I wonder if the overall number of sponsored pro's is just contracting. With revenues falling I'm sure their sponsorship budgets are shrinking, so there's only so much money to go around for only the elite players and product movers. Everyone else is getting pushed out or forced to accept much smaller contracts.
I think Big Jerm is an entertaining guy, but I've never bought one of his discs. In 22+ years of playing, I've never bought any disc because of a pro's name. It's important to remember that the same is true for the vast majority of players.
Polarizing is the nicest way to describe him. Privileged wyt arrogance as a persona is not what I would describe as being “polarizing”. It’s childish, annoying and extra for no reason. And to think that that’s ok for commentary is even worse and honestly, says a lot about the sport. His public presence feels forced and disingenuous. Solid forehand though.
@timothyschreiber8338 😂👏yes by default !!! In the lead and the rest of the tourney cancelled 😂😂like I said,dude hasn't won anything ,ohhhh maybe a b tier in Arkansas last year 😂

Is he staying with Jomez as well?

Don't know how anyone could ever hate on Big Jerm. I'd say hes polarizing in a nothing but positive way.
Hes a socialist pos. Wish him nothing but the worst
Making room for the Robinsons?
Not likely
Ezra is with discraft.

JK not BJ
Going on to a great career with Go Throw!
Can't wait to watch him play basketball in China!
This is a long shot but I commented on his post saying something along the lines of him maybe throwing mvp and he liked it and they both follow each other on IG so I think he might be going to mvp
is that really his grip?

I could see him being an Infinite or OTB signing.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to icon team on discraft tbh. Big barri just makes sense, but also maybe he's pulling the scott stokely and starting his own line of discs
Even Joel Freeman is leaving Innova...
Either Discraft signed him for the Uli/Jomez tie-in, or no one signed him.
Big jerm doesn't go unsigned unless he just wants a break
Innova manufactures several other brands, and the mention is he will always be a part of the Innova family. i.e. Millennium, or Infinite. Perhaps.
Just noticed Jerm's X account is suspended.....
I’m gonna go with Prodigy cause of Will. But DANG this is actually insane!!
That would be cool!
I could see him going back to Prodigy. Schusterick just took over and Prodigy is in need of a personality to help push their discs.
I believe so!
He has mentioned in posts he will not be going to Prodigy.
I'm sure uli can get him on discraft
That's a fun idea

Eh ... they moved a lot of plastic with the Gorgon release this year, for one.

Somebody is about to get PAID!!!
Funny

Maybe we'll see champion AviarX3's made again instead of just his signature star series.
Heres my take
Innova drops players like jerm to pick up Robinson bros
The obvious ... Jomez?
He’s more a commentator these days
Innova cutting the fat.
I’d like to see him replace Luke Humphries at Go Throw. It would be a far more enjoyable experience! Luke is cool but just not the hosting type.
Discraft
Holy shit
Put some gyro in this man’s hand and you see a flick that goes a long, long way.
It'd go the same distance as any other brand.

Who cares. World Champ?,by default!😂

He virtue signals like no other.
Woke Joke
His best days are behind him.
On the course and in the booth
Elaborate
What's it like to have no empathy? Nevermind, I don't ever need to know.
I agree, his broadcasting is not widely liked and his career as a disc isn’t what it used to be.
Get woke go broke
Not so sure about that hinted he has a new sponsorship already lined up.
I bet either discraft with uli or prodigy with shusteruck
Dude hasnt won anything ,, any smart investor would drop him !!!! Now only if dgpt would drop him from announcing, 👎👎👎
He won USDGC in 2016 I believe.
@timothyschreiber8338 😂👏yes by default !!! In the lead and the rest of the tourney cancelled 😂😂like I said,dude hasn't won anything ,ohhhh maybe a b tier in Arkansas last year 😂
I get it. He also won the Waco Annual Charity Open a couple of times, and those wins were definitely legitimate wins on the pro tour.
@timothyschreiber8338 had forgotten about those ,, impressive for sure
Innova need to get rid of Hailey King she sucks 🤬🤬🤬
She’s good dude, probably better than you 😂
It's just your attitude that does.
Him and ULI are the best friendship battles Like his Commentary With JOMEZ INNOVA disc sucks anyway in my opinion. Don't and won't throw them
They don't lead the industry because their discs suck but you're obviously allowed to have any opinion you want. (Even if its wrong)
