Wait until his follow up tweet : @fakeomarkelly - if I'm drafting a quarterback I want a guy who doesn't take no. Who goes in for the kill. Ties her up... Wait what was I talking about again?

(It's a meta joke because omar in his infinite wisdom as a talent evaluator constantly refers to KILLS BY A QUARTERBACK. This means he goes for more touchdowns already up and doesn't get conservative

Holy poo poo John Clayton is cold loving blooded

quote:

Clare Farnsworth and I both came up with the same idea after the 24 games that he played, that once he got hurt, it was an injury that Ron Wolfley, the fullback on the Arizona Cardinals made on him on a hit, on a special teams play I believe, we ended up sending a gift to Ron Wolfley. *laughs*

Q: You gave him a gift for ending the Boz's career?

Clayton: Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

[....]

Clayton: I can't remember exactly what we sent him, but we sent him something because we felt he earned it.

Throughout the season I'll occasionally read TMQ. It's very true that every column is exactly the same. It's to the point where I don't even need to finish his sentences/parapgraphs, because I already know where he's going with it.

Ye gods, the Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons blitzed seven; allowing [Player] to take a short pass and walk into the end zone.
Yes, the blitz sometimes works: [Example] But the blitz tactic backfires pretty regularly; more below.


I don't know why I read his lovely column. I guess I enjoy hate-reading it. It makes me appreciate the good stuff I suppose.

I just read his Wikipedia page, and it says he owns and operates some random convenience store in Ohio during the offseason? Like, he hangs out at a 7-11 in his free time? Because that's pretty fantastic, way better than a restaurant or car dealership or whatever.

I'm more confused, since I'd figure Palmer would be a cancer to sports writers, since he actually quit on his team.

Yeah while I fully support Palmer for what he did, it was obvious they were only on his side because he is willing to work with them a bit.

Drive thru convenience stores. He opened one and works it so he can learn management skills in the offseason for when he retires. Honestly he strikes me as a guy like crowder who will make his certain dollar figure and leave to secure his brain function. Even if he's cut this year he's still earned something like 12 million over the past 4 years. He's got the skills to. Stick around another 3-4 years in the nfl at a high dollar (over vet minimum) price imo

Listening to him on the radio when he calls in to local shows, literally everything he says is accompanied by a pat on his own back for how much tape he studies and how keen his eye is, so even when he has something bordering on insight, it's delivered dripping in self satisfaction. Dude's ego and sense of importance is legendary.

His level of narcissism is so overgrown that even when he says something stupid and obviously wrong he can never admit such a thing to himself, let alone show any sign of sincere contrition.
