Four Down Territory: Rock the Mic

First Down Aqib Talib is mostly known for one of the greatest moments in NFL history that I'm proud to have watched in real time. https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/815683970004320256 Ah yes, a good old fashioned chain snatchin' So nice Talib did it twice. https://twitter.com/StanGronkNandez/status/1303720442147082249 I won't go into to many details because I've already talked about snatchin' chains earlier this year. Just know it's in the top three most disrepectful things you can to do another man. It's a sign that they think so little of you that they can take something wrapped around your neck without punishment. Anywho, Aqib is more reserved now and has started his career as a color commentator. A good one at that. Seriously, LISTEN TO THIS GEM: https://twitter.com/MasterTes/status/1340811598789750785 MORE HEAT https://twitter.com/CamJunior1972/status/1340784200778178562 In all seriousness; Aqib's point of view, especially breaking down coverages in real-time was great to hear. He brings insight and a voice that does not exist in any broadcast booth. Since Aqib is different than any other broadcaster there are, of course, a lot of people who have something to say about it. https://twitter.com/EagleFanProbs/status/1340772666714820608 https://twitter.com/DanSileoShow/status/1340784930628890624 https://twitter.com/KennyCruzDixon/status/1340769850478784512 For the most part these are just jokes and should be treated as such but there's another part of this group that seemed to be rather harsh and even questioned Aqib's intellegence. https://twitter.com/HollywoodLowman/status/1340802110154297345 https://twitter.com/softee1/status/1340779947644891140 Is there a deeper conversation here about race and how that plays in some of this "criticism?" Absolutely. We'll save that for another day though. We're going to keep this at face value and it goes a little something like this. If you're out in these Twitter streets criticizing Talib then you're a hating a** mark who doesn't like to have fun. That comes from the same level of disrespect as a chain snatchin'. I don't make the rules. You're the friend who wonders why big man touchdowns are adored. You're the friend that plays with the Chiefs in Madden because you're lazy. I'm going to post a video. One person enjoys Talib and the other is a hater. Take a wild guess at who the hater is. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1340731849203732480 Is he a little rough around the edges? Yup, but that's what makes him fun. Knowing at any moment he could drop an F-bomb is edge-of-your-seat entertainment. There's an argument that he's taking a job from someone who has studied broadcasting. Talib hasn't done the work and isn't qualified. AND? LOOK AT THIS LIST. HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE FUN?! https://twitter.com/MarcFarzetta/status/1340790136930521089 When Louis Riddick leaves the MNF booth for a GM job the only smart replacement is Talib. You're welcome, ESPN. The best part? Most of you wouldn't dare say this foolishness to his face because you know he's about that action. Second Down Philadelphia woke up to a bang Sunday morning. https://twitter.com/JClarkNBCS/status/1340644860668375042 This is a lot to process. I tried breaking it down a little in a twitter thread. See for yourself. https://twitter.com/madads14/status/1340692181061939209 https://twitter.com/madads14/status/1340692960581718016 https://twitter.com/madads14/status/1340693545800376324 https://twitter.com/madads14/status/1340693982855229440 Now comes the over-correction. https://twitter.com/RobMaaddi/status/1341545483156692993 https://twitter.com/RobMaaddi/status/1340762586485317632 The truth probably is in the middle. Carson not wanting to be a back-up should'nt be news. He's been a starter since week one of his rookie year and should have no interest riding pine. He has every right to be frustrated because if we're being honest the Eagles haven't done everything possible to surrond him with elite talent and consistently miss in the draft. A few moves the front office has done that haven't panned out. Drafted JJAW over DK Metcalf.Drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round instead of literally any other position. Drafted Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson. There's still plenty of time for Jalen to pan out but the first-year returns don't look promising. Refusing to trade their 2nd round pick in 2020 (the Hurts pick) to jump in from of the Cowboys to draft CeeDee Lamb. Keeping Alshon on the team even though he's talked bad about Carson "anonymously" to the media two years in a row. Investing a lot of money in two old receivers (Alshon and Jackson) Did not trade for Deandre Hopkins. Did not trade for Stefon Diggs. Carson isn't innocent, though. He's been putrid all year. Part of that comes from getting sacked 50 times and part of that comes from multiple reports that he refuses to listen to coaching. Unfortuntaley, this appears to be heading to an ugly divorce. Getting out of Carson's contract is going to suck for the Eagles financially but it isn't impossible. In all honesty, they need to keep him and have a QB competition this offseason. If Carson loses his job to Hurts then you attack it and maybe Carson helps you out by restructuring his contract to get him out of town. Until then the Eagles will have to deal with a controversy of their own making. Third Down During the extra points segment I enjoy posting funny tweets from the NFL week that has passed. The same rule applies but third down will be dedicated to a special individual that didn't have a great week. Before each game JuJu Smith-Schuster dances at mid-field during warm ups. Both home and away. https://twitter.com/Gridiron/status/1338565200895741952 https://twitter.com/sdextrasmedia/status/1325886538782142465 I don't have a problem with it, especially if you're winning. It's corny but hey, if that's how you have fun then go for it. On the other hand, you have to be preparred for retalitation because oh man is someone's goal is to lay you out. Enter Vonn Bell. Monday Night before the Bengals/Steelers kicked off JuJu did his usualy and danced on the Bengals logo. https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1341168096736899074 Vonn had an answer for that. https://twitter.com/Bengals/status/1341202114136207365 "Pittsburgh TikTok star." I AM HERE FOR THE PETTINESS GIVE ME MORE!!!! The Steelers would go on to lose the game. Big Ben looks washed and the Steelers can't run the ball. Now let's sit here and laugh at these jokes. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1341211133378703361 https://twitter.com/gabbgoudy/status/1341256305697239042 https://twitter.com/ninicaa_j/status/1341380590365511680 https://twitter.com/elliedavis_iv/status/1341213849077358592 https://twitter.com/SASBurnerAcct/status/1341213012762513416 https://twitter.com/thecowbob/status/1341236249219248130 https://twitter.com/jakedonuts/status/1341240659290824705 Twitter is great.
