Favorite press knocks on a player


Recommended Posts

My two favorite knocks on players that combined humor with the statement that the guy was bad:

 

In the NY Post NFL selections when Jim McMahon was finishing his career with San Diego:

"Jim McMahon is so washed up, he never has to bathe again."

 

From an NBA writer describing the play of the 76ers #1 pick, Dana Lewis in the 1970s:

"The 76ers need a center in the worst way, and Dana Lewis is a center in the worst way."

Boomer Esiason, doing a Monday Night Football game, on the radio, involving the Eagles. Former Bill, Jason Peters, had a very bad game...Boomer said (paraphrasing):

 

"Jason Peters is an incredible story...an undrafted free agent tight end for the Bills, converted to left tackle, and managed to cash in, here in Philadelphia...tonight, he looks like an undrafted free agent tight end..."

Norman does have a sense of humor - about everything except his name. :lol:
