But then this week the Bills played the Steelers and I predicted them to get handled by the AFC powerhouse team. Nope, this one went to overtime. The Bills had several chances to win, and Steve Johnson had several dropped passes, but none worse than that endzone drop in overtime with no one near him that would have made this a win for the ages. But afterwards it seems as if Steve goes on twitter and blames God for his drops. Good thing for him, he later came to his senses and cleaned the comment up a little bit, because I'm pretty sure the rest of his season would've gotten worse.
So Derek Anderson takes this serious? Rewind the video he doesn't look serious to me, lol. The bad thing is he was a Pro Bowl QB not too long ago, lost his job, got a new job, lost it, got it back, and is still doing a piss poor job. Other than Kurt Warner on the offense the Cardinals are missing only Boldin from last year, but were just a playoff caliber team and Superbowl contender. Kurt was able to win games without Boldin. I would've thought that any above average QB could step in and do at least half as good as Kurt Warner did last year. I guess Derek nor Matt (or that other guy Max) are even a forth as good as Kurt Warner was. He should come back, Favre is still playing, Warner seemed like he had a lot more in his tank than Favre does.
Why So Serious Derek? Your Career is OVER...
Derek Anderson: His career was over 2 years ago. This is a moot point and will eventually be on a Coors Light commercial like all the other popular football sound bytes. But who knows why dude was smiling. Just because he was losing doesn't mean he's not allowed to laugh. A lot of us would be pissed about it but if one of our close friends or teammates said something to us that was just funny then we'd laugh too. I don't fault him at all for that.
ReplyDeleteSteve/Stevie Johnson: One of my fav WRs in the NFL right now and definitely my biggest waiver wire pickup of the season. This guy is gonna be good. BUT, I think he played himself on the Why So Serious thing. Sure he had a GREAT game against the Bengals and that Batman line was quite on point. But then he comes back the next week and drops a wide-open game winner. Well, that's why people are SO SERIOUS. Because you (Steve) are supposed to make those catches if you wanna be a big time receiver in the NFL.
I agree about Derek Anderson. Maybe thats why he has a short fuse. This will be a great Coors Light commercial. But when you get a chance go to Youtube and search DJ Steve Porter. The sound bite will probably get used by Steve for an ESPN season recap before Coors gets to it.
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't be laughing or get caught laughing in a game where his team is getting beat and it doesn't look like he's doing anything to help. Just like people shouldn't do celebrations when they do something tight and their team is down 3 or more scores..
You won't see Brady or Manning laughing on the sidelines when their team is losing. They usually have the angriest face possible on. I'm sure they want to laugh but they are smart enough to hold it in. This is comparable (on a much smaller scale) to Bush going fishing during Katrina, its things that leaders just shouldn't do.
I wish I had Steve Johnson on my team, I thought about picking him up, but thought to long about it.
He's making a name for himself, I just hope he's one of those silent but deadly Roddy White, Andre Johnson (before the fight) type of WRs in the future. I'm tired of the divas.
"He shouldn't be laughing or get caught laughing in a game where his team is getting beat and it doesn't look like he's doing anything to help. Just like people shouldn't do celebrations when they do something tight and their team is down 3 or more scores." TRUE but, if that was me and one of my homeboys no matter how much we losing by if he say something that's sort of an inside joke that is funny, Imma laugh. I'll try to hide it and I'll probably be mad again right afterward, but Imma laugh. Problem is, with all those cameras on that bench, he can't hide it. Sheeeeit, he didn't even try lol.
ReplyDeleteAs for Stevie Johnson I heard the commentator say "he's a lively kid, his teammates love him, and he likes to keep it light". In other words, he's just having fun right now and he has yet to get to that point where he's determined to win at all costs a la Kobe/Jordan or in his case, Jerry Rice. It reminds me of how they say LeBron is a jokester and still needs to mature and get that focus that a champion needs. Not that Stevie Johnson is as talented in his sport as LeBron is at basketball but you get what I'm saying.
I'm rooting for Johnson (and my fantasy squads lol) so I hope he rebounds well.
