Rex Ryan wasn’t the only one at Monday Night’s Jets-Dolphins game that can’t back up his words. Last week, Fins receiver Brandon Marshall infamously announced that he was going to do something so audacious as to be ejected in the second quarter. The only thing Marshall ended up doing was being stranded on Revis Island and falling out of bounds on a likely touchdown run. He didn’t even try to do anything. No crotch chops, no spitting, no nothing. And me, I’m an idiot so I watched the first half thinking some sort of brawl would break out when all I got was the most mediocre game of all-time.
I know you have a personality disorder, Brandon, but when you say you’re going to do something you have to do it. And don’t make up any bullshit excuses about how it was one of your other personalities that said he was going to be ejected. Wide receivers are such divas. You want attention? Go out and catch touchdowns. It worked for Jerry Rice. Then, T.O. and Chad Ochocinco came along and guaranteed that every week their TD celebrations were going to be the craziest things we’ve ever seen. Three catches for 28 yards later, and the MKS wasted three hours of his life. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. If not, shut the fuck up. Talk is cheap, play the game.
