One probably shouldn’t spend too much time worrying about the things that Keyshawn Johnson and Cris Carter say on ESPN’s NFL Countdown show — most of the comments are just transitions between uncontrollable bouts of laughter — but I have to admit I really enjoyed Derrick Mason’s post-win defense of quarterback Joe Flacco:
Good For Derrick Mason
↵↵“Keyshawn Johnson is the bum, that’s why he’s in the analyst seat,” receiver Derrick Mason told Freeman. “He tried to come back to football but no one would sign him. He was never that good a player. He got lucky and signed on in Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl because they had a great defense.
↵“Just look at the two people doing the criticizing, that’s all I’m saying. Keyshawn was overrated and Carter is in the same boat I’m in. He doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring either. He’s in the analyst seat without a ring. At least I’m playing. He still wants to play but he can’t anymore. We’re the bums? That’s why you’re in the analyst seat. Just be quiet and keep dreaming you still could play.”
↵↵No, you’re a bum! No, you’re a bum! This is like a tennis match, but with large men shouting at reporters. I love it.
