So you would figure that today's biggest headline would be TCU going to the Big East or the fact that the "Man Beast" Andre Johnson and the douche of douche's Courtland Finnegan were only fined and not suspended, but when this story was posted today, I just figured it was too good to be true.
And I thought Kyle Brotzman had it bad.
Stevie Johnson will go down in Buffalo Bills history for the dubious honor of dropping the game winning touchdown pass in overtime this past Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Johnson believes in his heart that it wasn't his fault at all; he believes it was a "higher power" that is to blame. That's right sports fans Johnson is blaming God for his drop. Really? You're going to blame God?
First, that's get to know Stevie Johnson. Johnson was a 7th Round draft pick out of Kentucky for the Bills in 2008 after having 13 touchdowns his senior year as a Wildcat. He really hasn't been a world beater in the NFL in his 3 seasons in the league up until this year where he has 59 catches for 796 yards and 9 touchdowns. Johnson was also coming off a career game the week before against Cincinnati where he had 8 catches for 137 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 49-31 win over the Bengals. But the instant success seems not to be enough for Mr. Johnson.
Let's rewind now back to Sunday. Johnson had a decent day at the stadium hauling in 7 receptions for 68 yards. Johnson dropped what would have been the game winning touchdown from 40 yards out and seemed to have lost his mind completely after that. After the Steelers knocked in the game winning field goal, you could seem numerous camera shots of Johnson sitting alone against the wall behind the Bills' sidelines looking like someone just shot his dog right in front of his eyes. During the postgame press conference Johnson was still beside himself for dropping the ball, (dubiously named "The Drop") saying "I had the game in my hands and I dropped it," over and over again like a broken record and saying that he will never get over this in his life. But after a day to get over it you would think cooler heads would prevail. Not Johnson's. Johnson would then decide that Twitter was the best place to keep pouring out his frustrations; this time on God. He went on to Tweet, "I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO..." Oh no he didn't! But seriously he did and the fact that this guy had enough balls to go on Twitter and do this blows my mind.
Let's all play the REAL blame game with Stevie Johnson: First, go back to the five drops you had in the game. That's right 5 DROPS. Second, lets blame Ryan Fitzpatrick for throwing the best ball in his career to you and you just letting it slide through your hands. Third, blame the cold, frigged weather of Buffalo for playing with you mind and causing you to drop the ball. We might as well blame the Buffalo Bills for drafting you and even giving you a career to begin with. But the last person that we need to be blaming Stevie is God. I'm not the most spiritual person, but I do have my own beliefs in God and He is the last person I would blame for anything. You should be on your hands and knees every night praying and thanking God that he gave you a career in the NFL and the ability to play football when millions of people around the world would kill to be in the position you are in. Instead of blaming God, you should be blaming yourself. It is one pass bro, it's not the end of your life, you will live. You have turned into the second biggest jackass in the NFL now behind Mr. Finnegan of the Titans for your stupid comments. Think before you Tweet next time Stevie, because He may forgive you, but nobody will forget your stupidity. It's just a game; leave it on the field not on your Twitter.
