Geno Smith now owns the saddest sports quote ever

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

These are actual words spoken by a real-life NFL player. Geno Smith might not be the world’s most gifted quarterback, but he’s at least the most optimistic.

Let’s apply Geno logic to other terrible situations in life:

When you’re very ill

“It’s almost exciting to think about how well these antibiotics will work.”

When a natural disaster strikes

“It’s almost exciting to think about all the home improvements we can do.”

During the heat-death of the universe

“It’s almost exciting to think about wearing flip flops all year.”

Let’s check in on Geno Smith.
