RunTheBall Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't know if someone already posted this, but I came across it in an AP article and thought it was hilarious. This is Ko Simpson talking about his sack: "The hole opened up big and my eyes got real big. And I saw the big joker back there, but he fell kind of easily," Simpson said of tackling Culpepper for an 11-yard loss. The big joker! That's just icing on the cake.

OnTheRocks Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i was glad to see the Bills were able to get to Culpepper but i don't remember anyone putting a "punnishing" hit on the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to get a punishing hit on the guy, considering he's 6'5" and 260#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sack-Happy Bills RTB 779019[/snapback] trust me, he didn't say "joker" - that's a journalistic euphemism, like "ticked" for "pissed." i bet you dollars to doughnuts the word he used has four syllables, one of which starts with an "m" and another of which starts with an "f."

Come on. If the journalist was just trying to replace a curse word, he would have used something simple like "guy" -- as in, "and I saw the big guy back there." I think Ko said it. It's a funny quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholic Guilt Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Ko isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. His wonderlic scores are on par with Daunte Culpepper. It is an inside joke down in South Carolina. The guy can play football, just don't ask him to spell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I was sitting in a Wendy's eating lunch when I read Ko's quote in the Buffalo News. I laughed out loud and drew looks from people at surrounding tables. It seems as if the sports scribes are going to love this kid. (BTW, the column also said that it was Ko's first sack ever - at any level of football.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
