Was Davenport Always Such A Moron? » Brats & Beer

I did not realize that the players have it so rough up in Green Bay. At least it must be bad because they seem to turn into such douchebags once they leave.

I finally got around to reading the article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today in which Najeh Davenport talks trash about his days with the Packers, and it is a screamer. Javon Walker I can understand; he had a beef with management over money. Davenport? Well, he just didn’t have any fun.

After four years of rules, fines and what he said was an emphasis on upholding a storied image, he is glad to be with a team that can laugh, joke and win.

Well boo hoo, there was rules and stuff and no one had fun. Damn that does sound rough. Mr. Hamper Shitter goes on to say “you really had to treat it like a job, like a job-job, like working at Taco Bell.” Yeah, I can totally see how playing professional football and making millions would be just like working the line at the Taco Shack. Like a job-job.

And that’s basically his whole beef: Playing in Green Bay was like being held in the Gulag and Pittsburgh is this Happy Funtime Fantasyland where every day gumdrops fall from the sky. Which is great for Najeh because he says he was once fined $1,800 for being six pounds over playing weight, and now he doesn’t have to worry about being fat and stupid. Plus, the players on the Steelers get to sit on their helmets. I’m serious. He says, “We couldn’t sit on water coolers or sit on our helmets during practice [at Green Bay].”

Christ, what a baby. What a moron. What an absolute douchebag. I can’t believe I used to root for that guy.

However, a friend who is from Pittsburgh told me that the scribe who penned the article, Gerry Dulac, is himself a big tool who is prone to goading players into talking trash so he can get a big article out of it. He’s also a dumbass who can’t read the NFL record books:

The Packers, arguably, are the most-storied franchise in NFL history, an organization that boasts three Super Bowl titles, the last in 1996, and six NFL championships.

That’s twelve championship titles, you fucktard.
