Battle of Bull(shit) Run: The Jihad Against Jack Hunt
Over at SR.com, everybody’s favorite omnicient, unbelievably thin-skinned radio-personality-named-after-a-horse-named-after-a-general continues to wage his dumbfounding war of you-suck against the world’s best wide receiver ever to have been confused with a white defensive back at the pinnacle moment of his career.
The question I’m not entirely certain I want the answer to is: “Why?”
It seems TJ’s position is that Dev “doesn’t want it enough” or otherwise is just too laid back, not as ambitious or driven as, in TJ’s opinion, he ought to be. He doesn’t talk the talk. He doesn’t look the part.
Or, in other words, he’s not Joe Horn.
I’d like to change my question to: “Who gives a flying fuck?”
Joe Horn, by most “unofficial” accounts, was equal parts inspiring firebrand and huge asshole. But since when does that make the difference between primetime player and pine-riding chump? Don’t get me wrong, personality can be a factor in all aspects of life, including professionally. There is something to be said for exuding an air of confidence and drive. But TJ seems to think that the lack thereof is going to bury Dev, even in the face of production which ranks far above what his position on the 2006 depth chart would have had you expect.
If meekness trumps production in Sean Payton’s world, then Mickey Loomis needs to go ahead and fire Payton now.
But of course, that’s surely not the case. Rather, it’s yet another example of bullshit “analysis” based on “gut feel” about harmless (and often misleading) personality traits.
