What does that mean??

God I'm old...

Clue some of us semi-older bears in on the joke. I'm lost.

Heem is some kind of buzzword that he, Keenan and the rest of the WRs share.

Heem. For Treggs and the rest of the receiving corps, it’s more than a slang word; it’s a revolution. The receivers — Treggs, Allen, Chris Harper and Darius Powe — use it as a way to unify their small unit.

They saturate their Twitter feeds and conversations with it. Earrings become “heem-rings;” helmets, pure “heems.” They use it as a sliding scale to judge the success of a play — you’re either heem, or you’re not heem.

“It’s a positive thing,” Powe says. “He did a heem; he got a heem.”

But ask Treggs to define “heem,” and the answer isn’t straightforward.

“Heem could mean a lot of things,” Treggs says. “Heem could be an adjective, it could be a verb.”
He can’t explain the word, but he can give an example: If he scores a touchdown and jukes the cornerback, then one of the receivers might congratulate him with, “Yeah bro, you gave ‘em the heems” or “You routed heem.”

It’s also a state of mind — the state of mind into which Treggs delves during a game. He prefers to remain goofy and relaxed on the sidelines so as not to get lost in nerves.

“If he’s serious, he’ll think too much and just mess up,” says Harper, Treggs’ roommate and Heem Team member. “Be heem, you got to be heem.”

Heem belies swagger. Treggs projects such an image; he throws around stereotypical jock talk when he’s relaxed. He says one of his favorite parts of the stadium is the jumbotron.

“When I’m scoring, I can see myself running,” he says. There’s no smile to betray a joke; he’s serious.

Yet Treggs still takes the sport seriously. It doesn’t matter when the game is or who he’s lining up against. For Treggs, every start brings with it a serious bout of anxiety.

Last Saturday, the nerves only dissipated after Treggs collapsed into the end zone.

A start like that is almost too Hollywood to believe. And Bryce’s dad was there to witness it. Watching his son score a touchdown for his own alma mater was easily one of Brian’s proudest moments as a parent.

“I’ve replayed that touchdown probably 100 times over the last few days,” he says.

Brian doesn’t know about the Heem Team; his son has yet to fill him in.

But that touchdown that he keeps replaying — that was pure heem.

What ever happened to "rad" or "sick" and even "bad" Do people still use those? Am I that out of the loop??? Oh god...

But if you look up 'Heem Team' you pretty much get the definition of greatness, the best, the-one, etc... e.g. Dream Team --> Heem Team

Smurftastic!

I thought it was slang for the word hemi as in cars. It would have the meaning of high powered performance and durability.

In the bay area song I Got Grapes by Nump, Clyde Carson raps "Purple (kush) in the air and some 'heem' in the scraper (vehicle).

Heem team could be that group of guys who go out of their way to have excellent performance, speed and durability on the football field.

But i guess it could mean just about anything they want it to mean.

Heem originally did mean Henny. But now people are using it as an amorphous word, much like McCain started using ERET (although his was a response to his disdain for hella).

sick and bad are still used, but they are different.

I always associated it with Brian Wilson's (RP - SF) short-lived catch phrase "Got Him" which was pronounced "Got Heem." He used the phrase in the one-season documentary following the Giants' 2011 season following the World Series victory.
