To Miami Dolphins LB Channing Crowder, for saying he intends to still use his helmet to make tackles. Week 6 saw some brutal hits, which lead to a couple of concussions. The NFL didn't react to well to them. Concussions have been a big issue in the past couple of years, with research and studies being more frequent than it's ever been. The NFL fined Falcons CB Dunta Robinson $50,000, Patriots S Brandon Meriweather $50,000, and Steelers LB James Harrison $75,000 for their helmet-to-helmet hits on Sunday. Harrison didn't take the fine too well, threatening to retire because of the restrictions being placed on tackles and hits. Crowder chimed in afterward and made his comments.
C'Mon Man. Here's what the NFL is going to start doing. Look at Crowder's tackles. Harrison made a comment after the game that probably didn't sit well with the NFL, and that's probably why he got a hefty fine. The NFL is probably going to look at Harrison's tackles more. The same goes for Crowder. He is going to be looked at more because of his comments, which is a pretty stupid thing to talk about that. He just needs to keep his mouth closed and play football. All Crowder does is talk and doesn't show a good product on the field. He reminds me of Packers LB Nick Barnett. They are guys who just talk and their stat line ends up very unimpressive at the end of the game.
To Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson, for the comments he made after the Titans beat the Jaguars on Monday Night Football. Johnson was invited to the ESPN set with Stuart Scott, Matt Millen and Steve Young to talk about his performance after the game. Scott asked him what's different about his performance early this season than early last season. Johnson responded by saying the Titans were much more effective early last season running the ball and they need to get back to that this season to continue being effective. Johnson had 26 carries for 111 yards in the win.
C'Mon Man. Can anyone remember how the Titans started the season last year? If you can't remember, let me remind you. They started 0-6, culminating in a 59-0 loss to the Patriots. How in the world do they need to get back to what they were doing last season if they started 0-6? This makes no sense at all, and Johnson is a classic case of selfishness. Before this season started, Johnson was talking about gaining 2,500 yards. He has struggled to get yards this season, and that's probably why he is frustrated. He is nowhere on pace to get 2,000 yards, but the Titans are winning. The Titans need to keep doing what they are doing now because it's winning football games. Do not listen to Johnson.
To Miami Heat F Lebron James, for revealing the hateful tweets he received after he decided to join the Heat. James decided to re-tweet the hateful messages he received and show them to the public and his 900,000 followers. Some of the messages he received were racist, proving his management's point that there were a lot of racist attitudes when he left Cleveland. James is currently less than a week away from the start of the regular season, so the preseason is the time he's been using to get acclimated to Erik Spoelstra, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh.
C'Mon Man. Seriously, do you need any more attention? Do you want more attention? I'm done talking about James. I didn't agree with his decision either. But I'm over it and I'm pretty sure a lot of people are over it also. James recently said Cleveland fans need to get over it. It seems as it is James who hasn't gotten over it. He keeps bringing it up. Why? Shut up and play basketball, and try to achieve what you came to South Beach to do. Win a championship! Everyone knows his legacy is tarnished. Heck, even James knows that. At this point, we are three months removed from "The Decision" so he is no longer a story until the regular season starts. Stop making yourself a story!
