Just Catch the Ball
The star wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, Stevie Johnson, is a Thoughts of a Common Man idiot.
Last year he dropped a pass and blamed God. He became a big star for writing something on his chest and showing the world after catching a touchdown pass. Everyone thought it was funny.
So yesterday, he caught a pass and pretended he was shooting himself in the leg to make fun of another player. Then he played a crashed Jet and received a penalty that cost his team 7 points.
All in good fun, right?
It's the basic problem in the world right now, if you ask me. Everyone wants to be a star. Everyone is disrespectful to the next guy. No one is accountable to anyone else. When all else fails, blame God.
Now I know it's just a football game and he isn't a Rhodes Scholar, but it aggravates me because my boys thought it was so cool.
"He made fun of the guy who shot himself!"
It's a vicious circle. The guy who shot himself took a gun into a nightclub because he wanted street cred and he wanted to be a big shot.
As if God were actually watching, Johnson dropped a pass later in the game that would have brought victory to his team.
He didn't perform a dance after dropping the ball.
When does it all end?
A woman pepper sprayed another woman who was reaching for the same sales item on Black Friday.
The Syracuse coach allegedly molested young boys, and in the craziest of all scenarios his wife admitted he had issues and just for good measure, she slept with the kid too.
I'm not blaming Stevie Johnson for all the worlds ills. He's a pass catcher in a dumb game. But the attention-grabbing, look-at-me-at-all-costs-and-consequences-be-damned mentality drives me crazy.
The coach didn't see it and doubted he would discipline Stevie. All in good fun.
My advice?
Do your job...whatever it is. Don't worry about being on television. Don't look for additional compensation for doing what you're supposed to do. God didn't do it to you.
Last year after being fined and ridiculed for his actions Johnson said he made a mistake and would learn from his actions.
He said the same thing yesterday.
He'll say the same thing next year.
Fortunately I am in my kid's ears to remind them.
When you point your finger cause your plan fell through, you got four more fingers pointing back at you.
