D.B. of the Week #5 - Marquise Goodwin
There comes a time every week when I panic a little bit because the D.B. of the week doesn't seem to be jumping out at me, but of course, not to worry, they always come through.
Not many people outside of Buffalo know this week's winner.
Marquise Goodwin plays for the Buffalo Bills. He's a wide receiver who runs fast but hasn't done much to set his career aflame.
He posted this tweet after the latest Bills loss (in an exhibition game at the stadium).
"Looks like we will have to play against our own "fans" this year. Same ones booing prolly the first in line for autographs. Smh #FEWDM."
First off...what a butcher job on the English language, huh?
Smh.
Yet here's the problem with that tweet.
They were losing 24-0 at the first game at the stadium where they were supposed to be entertaining the kids on kids day. At the halftime break the television feed showed the $130 million in renovations including the new expanded locker room where Goodwin and his other millionaire friends relax after playing with a ball.
And playing badly.
The NFL (who's tax-exempt and doesn't pay their cheerleaders and allows felons to play until they're too concussed to stand up)force feeds the exhibition games down the throats of their fans at high prices...and here's something else.
My son Sam was so looking forward to that game. Despite everything, he still feels like they can someday get to the playoffs. He was absolutely fired up all week long, and he even skipped his Saturday Porterhouse steak to go to the game.
"They're playing all the starters most of the game," he told me as he left. "This is the year!"
I had the game on in the background and it wasn't good.
Goodwin and the rest of his team of warriors punted four times, turned the ball over three times, and ran out the clock to end the half. They walked off the field losing 24-0 at the half.
And the fans booed.
So, Goodwin feels as if the "fans" are attacking him despite his hard work.
Well, congrats...you're the D.B. of the week!
You won something!!!
Sam walked in the house after the loss.
He can already tell how the season is going to play out.
He had a really glum look about him and there wasn't much I could say to make it better.
"They were pretty bad," he said.
And this is a kid who is 14 years old.
The team hasn't made the playoffs in his lifetime!
He had some hope and his hopes were way up there. The performance of the team was a huge letdown to him.
"I didn't boo," he said. "I wanted to, but I didn't."
I would have.
Goodwin, of course, was ripped on social media for his dopey tweet. I imagine that he'll clarify it all for us minions.
Ridiculous.
Moron.
