The Big Cat Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 "Why so serious" "Happy New Years" why work out in the off season. making fun of war and bombing an American city. This is all fun and funny if you are winning. But Stevie you have proven to be a mediocre reciever an on a very poor team. How bout positng something that is not controversial and good for the team. How bout being a leader (you are certainly overcompensated for it). It will be interesting to see if Marrone actually has the testicals to deal with this jackass. Again, as long as this guy is on the team they will be under .500. And btw the tweet is a subtle admission that you (Stevie) feel that this team cannot beat the Pats- what a funny boy- "why so serious", because year after year we support this team and the team fails to deliver. So yes, you should be serious and you should understand that if you were on most other teams your behavior would not be tolerated. Seriously, what a loser this guy is. Unfortunately you can't make these comments round here without being flamed to death. I'm inclined to agree with you, though I would have toned my rhetoric just a bit... When the Bills cut Lee Evans everyone outside Bills Nation (who isn't an NFL junkie) said: "Who's Lee Evans?" And if not for: ***Serious-gate Happy-gate Why-you-do-me-gate (and) OT-drop-gate (by proxy) Workout-gate Bomb-gate They'd be saying the same thing about Stevie Johnson. Because those things, and not his on-field performance, have put him on the national stage. My whole point during workout-gate was that there is a pattern to Stevie's behavior. And here we go again. I've said it before, and until he does something to prove otherwise: he needs to grow up and get serious. I've heard all the arguments about his 3 x 1K seasons, all that stuff, and that's all well and good, but it has nothing to do with what I"m talking about here. so please spare me. I'm not saying he's a poor player and that he doesn't contribute on Sunday's, but for a guy who has publicly said he wants to be the face of the franchise, he's doing a helluva job ensuring that if that were to happen, it would be for all the wrong reasons. **the 'gate' suffix was intentionally annoying.

The Poojer Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 like i alluded to in my post, n, korea threatened austin tx, i would bet his comments are directed at that rather than just a general statement about bombing a random city...that's where the humor lies ][/b]Shortly after midnight local time, North Korean state television reported that Kim signed orders to put the nation's rockets on combat-ready status. In a photo released on state-run media, a chart titled "U.S. mainland strike plan" could be seen and a map showed missiles arcing into Hawaii, Washington, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.

There's more important things in life to discuss than a joke made by a NFL player. Like gay marriage. SMH. The manufactured outrage to this is silly. I'm not offended by it and I question those who claim to be. What bothers me about it is that Stevie's using his megaphone again for shenanigans. And it's just more of the same immature "playfulness" that--whether right or wrong--can be and has been skewed in such a way that Stevie and the Bills-by-proxy come out of it with a PR black eye, having to issue apologies, have to answer questions, all that nonesense. Again, I'm not validating said nonesense, I'm just wondering when Stevie will wake up and stop inviting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 IMO, anything other than a reaction to this tweet that falls somewhere on the spectrum between mildy amused and mildly annoyed is an indication that you are exactly the person who's feathers Stevie was trying to ruffle when he hit send. How much more blatant does he need to be? He even qualified the statement before sending it. It would be different if he was an American diplomat. He's a football player. If anything, we should be impressed by the fact that he has a working knowledge of current events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm not at all offended by the stupid comment from Stevie. It is, however, another example of just how immature and stupid the guy is. I understand that he is trying to be funny/entertaining, but as a public figure, he needs to think before he speaks. His comments are not simply his, they are a reflection of the team and the city. His stupidity makes the BIlls, their fans and the city of Buffalo look stupid. I really like Stevie as a player, but I am getting tired of his stupid comments. He's trying to be the next Chad Johnson. The problem is that Chad was actually funny. Stevie is just like a 10 year old kid making fart noises or otherwise acting foolish just to get attention.

Best Player Available Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Comments, and actions like these play to SJ13's base. Which certainly doesn't include many if any actual Bills teammates.

Stevie by all means keep putting your foot in your mouth. But when the Bills actually play the pats* this year. How about putting in some extra effort. Instead of you know.................... This guy will never be a leader on any NFL team. But if fans are entertained then for them it's all good. I always liked players who do their talking on the field.

But saying folks are wrong to take offense does not eliminate the reality that they will. Stevie is well aware of the scope of his platform (Twitter). He must--at some point--learn that he simply can't do this without inviting scrutiny. And...again...my problem is that Stevie keeps finding new ways to invite scrutiny. I don't particularly have a problem with any of his shenanigans (weight-gate not withstanding). But other people do, he's got to learn that, and until he does, his behavior (IMO) is immature and reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding inviting scrutiny, you say that as though you think he is unaware of the repercussions of his actions. I get the sense that he does think before he goes through with these antics, and forges ahead anyway. I think he does it fully aware of the potential backlash, knowing that most will take it for what it is, and some will make more of it than they should. I think he does these things for the sole purpose of messing with the people who overreact to things. "Why so serious?"
