Keyshawn Johnson Apparently Has No Idea What ‘Irony’ Is

In an article on SI’s website, Keyshawn imparts this nugget of wisdom, presumably in reference to DeAngelo Hall calling out Steve Smith last week:

“Dudes out here are just out of control,” Johnson said this week. “I sat back and said to myself ‘Was I like that when I first got into the league?’ I don’t think I was. I didn’t reach for the attention. The attention came to me. I didn’t need to make a sign or make a mockery of myself to get on television. I guess that’s what you do to get the endorsements.”

OK, two things:
1. DeAngelo Hall is one of the best CBs in the league, and one of the few guys that might be able to handle Steve Smith one on one for a whole game. So who cares if he wants to do a little pre-game shit-talking? The guy can back it up.

2. Um, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? “I didn’t need to make a mockery out of myself to get on television?!?” Dude, all you did was make a mockery out of yourself when you were a young player. Come to think of it, have you ever really stopped making a mockery of yourself?

Guess Keyshawn didn’t read “Just Throw Me the Damn Ball!” either.
