About

Not My Name, Quarterback, also known as Nice Catch, Cheer, refers to a scene in the Tubi Orignal movie Sidelined: The QB and Me in which the character Drayton Lahey (played by Noah Beck) throws a football that's caught by Dallas Bryan (played by Siena Agudong). He says, "Nice catch, Cheer." She responds, "Not my name, Quarterback," and throws the football back to him. Both are wearing "Archwood Wolves" merch. The scene went viral on TikTok and YouTube in late 2024 and early 2025. It was parodied in '99.99% Accruacy' Meme Reenactments and absurd edits soon after because people thought that the scene and its dialogue were cringe.
