Goodell is just going to fine you for being out of uniform
That’s the hot line for anyone and everyone who was released/traded this year.
“I have a chip on my shoulder.”
Sigh
Some folks are cap casualties. Others are just operating under ridiculously large contracts that didn’t take into consideration awesome finds down the road. Some people have to move out of the way for teams who have to pay THE quarterback. Some have new coordinators that run schemes in which they don’t really fit. It happens every year, but some guy still brings this alleged baggage to the next city. Hey, be happy there is a next city. Your name could be Woodson…or Harrison. It is what it is.
Nnamdi Asomugha said his chip is growing. The jokes write themselves, so I won’t bother. But why is everybody all feeling a certain disgruntled way about being in the NFL? You can have my job. I work in an office typing stuff about stuff all day. It’s mad exciting and we are hiring. Anyway, I guess that’s Asomugha’s way of reassuring his new employers that he’s not going to allow opposing receivers 15 step head starts in the secondary this year. I can’t imagine what his chip is going to look like next year if he does.
Elvis Dumervil’s chip is so big it’s not even a chip anymore; it’s a brick wall. I’m confused about this one because the Broncos seemed to have every intention of keeping him. If Elvis has to prove anything, it’s that he can successfully use his new super high-tech swipe badge for access to the castle. Other than that, this guy’s performance has been gravy and few beg to differ.
Hell, you don’t even need to be released from a team these days to have a chip. Aaron Rogers has one the size of Pluto because he is not… well.. the size of Pluto.
I don’t get it. All you have to do is take one look at the Jets to realize players do not perform at their best when they are disgruntled. Feeling like you have to prove something to someone aka trying to make the playoffs after your coach promises you will make the playoffs, usually leaves you out of the playoffs. Players should know that by now, yet they travel to their new digs with that same stale ‘tude in tow. Who has it better than us? Asomugha probably thinks everyone does. Poor guy.
I know us fans looking in from the outside tend to think of these big brawny guys as human resources and not humans. I know they have feelings and sometimes they feel sad. But I mean it is the hardest hardcore sport in the world. Who knew there were so many sensitive types floating around. I’m actually starting to think this chip comment is code speak for “you won’t regret signing me, I swear to Bob I won’t suck this season like I did last year.” Unless you’re Aaron Rodgers. His is probably authentic and will get worse since he’s too short to see over all of those monstrous chips that will be on the field this coming season.
Doom, get it together.
