If Jake Delhomme Tosses A Grenade Into Steve Smith’s Car, We’re Going To Get Nervous
By Jay Busbee | May 2, 2007
In a move eerily reminiscent of the events now playing out on The Shield, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson has found himself ousted by the very man he hoped to mold in his own image. Keyshan spent much of Saturday’s NFL Draft talking glowingly about how newly-drafted WR Dwayne Jarrett was “much like” Keyshawn himself. Keyshawn understood that Jarrett was his eventual replacement — to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, Jarrett’s first words as a Panther, sent in Keyshawn’s direction, were “bye-bye” — but Keyshawn surely didn’t think the axe would fall in just 72 hours. And just like Vic Mackey, we expect Mr. Just Give Me A Damn Job to come completely unhinged, wreaking bloody vengeance on everyone within 500 miles of — ugh — “Bank of America” Stadium.
Randy Moss dealt for spare parts, and now Keyshawn cut. Man, it’s getting hard out there for douchebag prima-donna wide receivers. Ocho Cinco, when next the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
(Yes, we know that picture is Keyshawn in his Cowboy days. We just like it ’cause it looks like the guy’s about to actually break a sweat.)
UPDATE: Damn zeitgeist. Deadspin has just posted the video of Keyshawn’s final, sad moments as he smiles all the way to the gallows.
