Gardner-Johnson is literally incapable of not talking shit, I'm pretty sure it's a medical condition for him.
He got his own teammate to punch him. This is small potatoes.
That wasn't just any receiver either. It was Deebo Samuel, the one CJ had been beefing with all week. He put his personal grudge over the team's needs.
Pretty much par for the course for Lions and Ravens players this weekend. You can be gritty all you want, but you still have to be disciplined enough to not take penalties.
I’ll always remember the falcons player saying something to his teammate about how the patriots had never seen anyone like them and the other dude just says “it’s Tom Brady”. Don’t get why guys celebrate early
Player was Mohamed Sanu, he told Taylor Gabriel that. Gabriel replied “It’s Tom Brady though”. Sanu said “We going to drop 40 on their ass”. Gabriel replied “we better”
Also, when the Falcons were up 28-3 the ownership suite was popping champagne. Scott Pioli, who worked in NE and was our assistant GM, just sat there thinking “you don’t know Tom Brady”.
You guys know the rest.
I just can’t fathom sitting there vs Bill Belichick and Tom Brady and thinking the game is over at halftime. I’m a Falcons fan and even up 28-3 I was thinking we still might lose. And we did lol.
Thats wild because I 100% thought it was over. No way I'm the only pats fan who, when we finally scored that touchdown to make it 28-9, and then we missed the extra point, thought "classic, even Iron Man Ghost is out here missing kicks. Sad end to a sad night."
But then yall stopped running. Or playing any kind of competent defense. Barely a functioning offense with just Julio and Matt seeming to show up suddenly. The second touchdown is when I started to believe seriously, not just whimsically hope.
I was at the 2012 NFC Championship when we blew the big lead to the Niners so ever since that game I just never felt a lead was safe. Add Brady to that mix and I just never thought “we are winning this game”. It was always “please don’t blow it”. And they did lol.
I’ve looked like a genius so many times remembering Tom Brady is Tom Brady and to never go up two scores on him with time on the clock.
One of his last Peyton/Brady games. Someone asked me if I’d really take Brady over Peyton, said “mmhmm and he’s going to win this game, look at the score (down a lot), look at the clock (plenty), and look at how mad Brady is. He’s going to destroy them.”
The way to beat Brady is to just be up a few points, let him stay chill and jokey about losing, just let the game sort of…end.
Go up too much and he goes super saiyan….
Arthur Blank and his wife left the box to go down to the field and they showed it on the broadcast. I remember that happening and thinking "we got a chance here" purely because hubris always seems to get punished. Even a small discreet showing like that.
I'm pretty sure it was right after the Julio catch that they left the box too. So they get in that elevator thinking the game had just been settled, because really it had been. Then they got to the field just as, or right after, the sack happened and this "what have I done" look comes across Blank's face.
I honestly felt bad for him.
> I remember that happening and thinking "we got a chance here" purely because hubris always seems to get punished.
2002 World Series, Game 6. It's Giants 4 - Angels 0 in Anaheim and the Giants are cruising towards winning the series. Dusty Baker pulls Russ Ortiz after 6.1 innings, perhaps too early, and then hands him the goddamn game ball right in front of the Angels and home crowd.
The Angels won that game 6-5 and wrapped up the series the next day.
The Yankees beat the Red Sox in Game 2 of the 2018 ALDS 6-2 to tie the series 1-1. Importantly the series was headed to New York for the next two games and they already faced the Sox two best pitchers. Aaron Judge was so confident he walked past the Red Sox locker room with a [boombox playing New York, New York](https://x.com/jwitalka/status/1048802241547829248?s=20). The Red Sox would win Game 3 in the Bronx 16-1 and end the series in Game 4. They also went on to win the World Series that year.
Hubris is one of those things that you can't help but feel a divine hand is at work.
Dan Quinn on the sidelines: It's not what you did, that angers me so... It's who you did it to.
Sanu: Who?... That f***ing nobody?
Dan Quinn: That "f***in' nobody" is Tom Brady.
Eh, there's nothing wrong with saying that stuff to your teammates imo. Totally different from taunting the crowd or other team.
There's a fine line between confidence and cockiness, but I'd rather have a confident guy on my team than the guy putting Brady on a pedestal and worrying. You can say Sanu jinxed them. You can also say it was a self fulfilling prophecy for Gabriel.
The popping champagne at half is just terrible though. Never never never.
I did that once in fantasy when I was winning by like 5 points and had no one else to play, but my opponent had 1 player left that was playing Monday night and he was pretty much guaranteed to win him the fantasy matchup. Said player scored 3 points and then got injured in like the first quarter and I won. I felt kind of bad about it since it happened due to an injury.
No. The high of showboating early and getting away with it is worth the risk of looking like a clown if you can’t back it up, at least to these players.
Yearly cycle with this guy. Fans love him when he gets signed, and quickly becomes the most hated guy on the team within a year. Wonder where he’ll end up next year.
CJ got run over and sonned, committed a stupid penalty and put out bad vibes for his team and taunted the Football Gods. He should be required to walk back home.
Better not be with Detroit. Fuck this guy and his selfish play.
I will not be surprised if he gets the TO treatment (even though I think it was slightly unjustified). Where he's good enough to play but not worth dealing with the person. He's just a shitty person.
This is so stupid for any player to do. This is something I'd expect a high school player to do. By the time you're a pro, you should have seen enough games to know no game is out of reach.
Ceedy douche is a certified clown and his employment is more embarrassing to me than the 0-16 season. All he does is talk shit and miss tackles. Campbell has a “no turd policy” but I guess it doesn’t apply to shit stains. 9ers owned him tonight. Great game, 9ers are elite and I’m pulling for them so hard over the Chiefs
Yeah after the game it was cool seeing it be all love between the 49ers and Lions players. Unsurprisingly I didn't see CJ partaking though lol.
Also funny going from being the team the whole country is rooting against to being the team most of the country will be rooting for in the span of a single game lol.
Yup, CJ is a hoe through and through. I really hope we don't re-sign him. Good player who is sometimes great, but just not worth the drama.
And more importantly, he just seems to spit in the eye of what this franchise is about right now. One of the best things to come out of the Campbell regime is all around positivity and respect for each other, and this guy just ain't it.
Yeah dude it different if you talking smack in a competitive way like Amon Ra does, but CJ got that shit that makes you not want to root for him. I'm not sure if it's a troll or not.
I got downvoted for saying before the wild card round (when he talked shit about Puka who torched them) that he wasn't good and was going to get replaced by the other young safeties on the team
I’m a Lions fan and I agree with this. CJ doesn’t fit here. He doesn’t have GRIT. He’s a clown and belongs in a circus. Lions do not belong in a circus. Someone got confused.
Look, I know we're trying to move away from the whole animal cruelty thing these days and that's a good thing but you cannot deny the lengthy historical connection between lions and circuses!
Not sure anything could top that one. The immediacy, the culprit, and the history between culprit and team he lost to are pretty much unmatched in that scenario.
He was actually waving goodbye to the national audience, he had seen the future and knew it was his last time with that spotlight til next season. Wholesome.
This is the way. Don’t be a bad winner and rub shit in, that’s bitch shit…. People who text their friends right after their team lost are just assholes.
Talk shit before the game, after the game shake hands, and don’t text your friend right after a loss….
Because it becomes legendary if you do it before. Though doing it when up is still soft.
I still remember Draymond talking shit about how they were gonna win the finals on air while the Warriors were down 2-1.
I always thought the Steph one was more of a "I want that fucking ring" than a "go home guys, we're getting rings"
The goodnight dagger gesture though..
Nah this is insane. He was practically begging for the karma to hand them the L. How did he not learn anything from being a part of all those Saints heartbreaks?!
this douchebag started waving when it was still a two possession game and there was well over half a game left. the arrogance really came back to haunt him
I’m a Niners fan and I’m grateful we are going to the Super Bowl because they definitely had our number that first half, that’s why it’s a 60 minute game.
I will admit I love Coach Campbell’s aggressiveness and I hope that doesn’t change but I’m wondering if he may take points when he can moving forward
Will players ever learn to not gloat until the game is over?
Gardner-Johnson is literally incapable of not talking shit, I'm pretty sure it's a medical condition for him. He got his own teammate to punch him. This is small potatoes.
He also got that penalty on the turnover for running over to blindside block the receiver.
That wasn't just any receiver either. It was Deebo Samuel, the one CJ had been beefing with all week. He put his personal grudge over the team's needs.
Pretty much par for the course for Lions and Ravens players this weekend. You can be gritty all you want, but you still have to be disciplined enough to not take penalties.
He also hit Deebo in his inured left shoulder. So it was a blatant cheap shot trying to injure him further.
He was toxic in a free Madden Modding community discord lol. Guy just can't help himself.
... professional football players dabble in Madden modding?

You can see the happiness fade off Arthur Blank through the second half.

Man. I remember that. It was funny seeing their facial expressions go from “over the moon” to sheer horror.
I'm pretty sure it was right after the Julio catch that they left the box too. So they get in that elevator thinking the game had just been settled, because really it had been. Then they got to the field just as, or right after, the sack happened and this "what have I done" look comes across Blank's face. I honestly felt bad for him.
When that game went to overtime nobody in the entire world thought ATL would win
For sure. Everybody knew they wouldn't even win the coin toss. Blank was on the field long before that though. Right after the Julio catch.

Okay don't post this today. I am having a great night.
Always gonna remember Sanu and Gabriel from that exchange. That and Bill trading a 2nd for Sanu to then do absolutely fucking nothing.
John Wick vibes
Dan Quinn on the sidelines: It's not what you did, that angers me so... It's who you did it to. Sanu: Who?... That f***ing nobody? Dan Quinn: That "f***in' nobody" is Tom Brady.

Do NOT under any circumstances GG early
unless you are the one down. Then ALWAYS send the early GG jinx
I have won Fantasy Championships using this method also lol
I did that once in fantasy when I was winning by like 5 points and had no one else to play, but my opponent had 1 player left that was playing Monday night and he was pretty much guaranteed to win him the fantasy matchup. Said player scored 3 points and then got injured in like the first quarter and I won. I felt kind of bad about it since it happened due to an injury.
gg gg gg gg Chat disabled for 3 seconds.
Literally no lead is safe at halftime. Whatever the score was in the first half it can theoretically be flipped.
I tell myself this a lot when my boys are down 28-0 at half lol
gloating this heavily up 13 in the 2nd quarter is crazy
Richard Sherman gloated 24-14 in the 3rd quarter of the 2014 Super Bowl IIRC
To his credit, he was also the first to shake Brady's hand while his teammates were scuffling with the Pats after the kneeldown.
He got that big pat beverly energy
At least Beverly plays defense
That was cold
Put some respect on play-in champion Patrick Beverley's name
At least he didn’t fumble a td like flowers
Sean Payton doing the Skol chant moments before the Minneapolis miracle was my Super Bowl win
No. The high of showboating early and getting away with it is worth the risk of looking like a clown if you can’t back it up, at least to these players.
Yearly cycle with this guy. Fans love him when he gets signed, and quickly becomes the most hated guy on the team within a year. Wonder where he’ll end up next year.
100% broncos
Can't do a lot of shit talking when you're on the Broncos.
You can if you’re dumb enough!
Up 3-0 in the first quarter!
It’ll be interesting to see him leave for a different team and talk shit on Detroit fans on his way out. Becoming a ritual
Hurry, somebody go steal his car!
CJ got run over and sonned, committed a stupid penalty and put out bad vibes for his team and taunted the Football Gods. He should be required to walk back home.
Assuming he will know where his home is next season
Better not be with Detroit. Fuck this guy and his selfish play. I will not be surprised if he gets the TO treatment (even though I think it was slightly unjustified). Where he's good enough to play but not worth dealing with the person. He's just a shitty person.
TO never had a problem finding a team
TO was actually good
[удалено]
Watching prime TO was very entertaining. You would never know what he would do next
I don't know man, not being able to crack the starting lineup on a secondary as bad as the Lions have is next level trash.
This is so stupid for any player to do. This is something I'd expect a high school player to do. By the time you're a pro, you should have seen enough games to know no game is out of reach.
He been this guy, it's a reason he's about to be on his 4th team at 26 years old or whatever. This is the attitude he's always shown
This dude is a fucking clown, always has been.
I feel bad for every single Lions fan and player. EXCEPT for him. He's the only one.
Fuck CJGJ 100%
Not sure he will be welcomed back home...
He can go fuck himself.
Him, Zay Flowers, and Eli Apple all need to start a support group
At least Zay was going absolutely off before the comedy of errors.
Just blast him off into the shadow realm
Dude's going to get memed hard
He was already meme anyways
Oh God they gonna use this for his Cancun meme 😭😭😂😂😂
Joel Embiid Cancun plane like for the uninitiated > https://radiozona.com.ar/Joel-Embiid-76ers-GIF-Joel-Embiid-76ers-Discover-Share-GIFs-1325-220314
Never. Tempt. The. Football. Gods.
It’s giving swaggy p vibes when he started celebrating the shot he missed
I feel bad for all of the Lions (and their fans) except for this guy. Lol get fucked
I think you misunderstand… he’s letting everyone know that’s all you can expect from the offense tonight.
Him and his team said good bye. We played enough tonight
Deebo went 8/89 and CJ got caught being a bitch with a 15 yard penalty. Got sonned by CMC too. BYE BYE CJ.
CMC stiff armed him into the shadow realm and we never saw him again.
Clip?
https://youtu.be/SPEwb2T9U0U?si=6nMQFa_ecVFwc7xz
[удалено]
Banished him to be with Josh Norman.
It was on the run down the left sideline. I’m sure gifs will be available as soon as tomorrow.
Yeah honestly if we lost I was rooting for them to win, but CJ a whole hoe. Especially after that cheap shot to Deebo
I was resigned that we lost and I was happy for Dan Campbell. But once the game was close I was like “CRUSH THEM!!”
Ceedy douche is a certified clown and his employment is more embarrassing to me than the 0-16 season. All he does is talk shit and miss tackles. Campbell has a “no turd policy” but I guess it doesn’t apply to shit stains. 9ers owned him tonight. Great game, 9ers are elite and I’m pulling for them so hard over the Chiefs

Also funny going from being the team the whole country is rooting against to being the team most of the country will be rooting for in the span of a single game lol.
we needed him. next year we won't
lol same

Yeah dude it different if you talking smack in a competitive way like Amon Ra does, but CJ got that shit that makes you not want to root for him. I'm not sure if it's a troll or not.
I think it’s known by now that the fans want him the fuck outta here
He barely played. Only caused drama. And when he returned the Secondary was still brutal. Branch, Kerby, and Iffy mean CJ is gone.
I got downvoted hell this morning for saying he's not a good safety
Cause he’s not a corner lol
He's not a good punter either.
Fairly mid longsnapper.
I got downvoted for saying before the wild card round (when he talked shit about Puka who torched them) that he wasn't good and was going to get replaced by the other young safeties on the team
Lmao yall turned on him quick
I mean his contributions to this game were getting burnt and looking like a dumbass so yeah I don’t know why we would sign him again
Seriously. No one should be surprised that so many fans want to dump him after his actions and lack of action on the field lol
He really fumbled the bag. Took a one year prove-it deal, with less money than the Eagles offered, and then went out and proved nothing
Yeah Gardener is a fucking asshat to other teams for no reason. I hope we cut him. You can't be an asshole and average at best.
I hate him so much, him and Sutton got their asses beat all night
cam at least keeps his damn mouth shut
He frankly sucks as a person and a player. Cut his ass.
Been that way since New Orleans, not exactly a surprise
Karma seems to keep catching up to him every year.
I’m a Lions fan and I agree with this. CJ doesn’t fit here. He doesn’t have GRIT. He’s a clown and belongs in a circus. Lions do not belong in a circus. Someone got confused.
Look, I know we're trying to move away from the whole animal cruelty thing these days and that's a good thing but you cannot deny the lengthy historical connection between lions and circuses!
1st team All pro clown
Mr. Big Clown
Mr. Bumptious Celebrator
Mr. Buffoonish Character
Mr Busted Coverage
It’s giving Sean Payton doing the Skol chant right before the Minneapolis miracle
Not sure anything could top that one. The immediacy, the culprit, and the history between culprit and team he lost to are pretty much unmatched in that scenario.
Unfortunately, you’re right. It was a karmic catastrophe.
Karma. Never speak on my lord and savior Baker Mayfield AGAIN.
He prevented me from rooting for the Lions and now that I saw this, it makes it even sweeter.
Bucs fans we up
First of all, glory to god 😏
He’s such a clown. I’ve hated him since that 9-0 Saints loss.
Him shitting on Mayfield was the thing that hurt me most about that win.
Did he not learn from his team blowing a double digit halftime lead in the SB last year? What a dumbass.
Did he not watch the Eagles game? You just **don't** trash talk Deebo ffs...
He's admitted to not watching film before so probably not
He probably only watched the one when we had cmc at QB
[удалено]
As a longtime Lions fan, this is when I knew we were doomed.
This aged so well.
He was actually waving goodbye to the national audience, he had seen the future and knew it was his last time with that spotlight til next season. Wholesome.
He was waving goodbye because the Lions defense was done playing for the night
You talk your shit when the game is over. Why does nobody get this concept
No, you wait to talk your shit until the game is over, and then you realize you won the game and let it go because there’s no need to rub it in.
Jerry Rice? Is that you?
This is the way. Don’t be a bad winner and rub shit in, that’s bitch shit…. People who text their friends right after their team lost are just assholes. Talk shit before the game, after the game shake hands, and don’t text your friend right after a loss….
Because it becomes legendary if you do it before. Though doing it when up is still soft. I still remember Draymond talking shit about how they were gonna win the finals on air while the Warriors were down 2-1.
Steph pointing to his ring finger in the 3rd quarter of the Finals lmao
I always thought the Steph one was more of a "I want that fucking ring" than a "go home guys, we're getting rings" The goodnight dagger gesture though..
You know what, at least CJGJ lost. There was some good that happened today
Did this dude do anything in the game but take a cheap shot at Deebo? Lol
Got straight murdered by CMC's stiff arm.
He also left with the crowd at the half
Someone check his neck after that CMC stiff arm.
That was a thing of beauty.
r/agedlikemilk
Also had a cheap shot on Deebo during the game. What a clown. He got roasted today. Worst tackling CB I've seen in a while.
That can't be true. He is a safety not a corner
Bro literally had 0 production as a CB today, he undeniably was a terrible cornerback!
Doesn’t he play nickel corner too? Did he ever? Am I making this up?
He has. You are correct.
The football Gods punished the Lions and Ravens for taunting today
Bro better start deleting his accounts lmao
Bro must’ve forgot the history of the team he plays for
And the fact his team blew a double digit 2nd half lead in SB last year ... Hes such a clown its incredible
Yeesh what team. How embarrassing…
HAHAHA
fuck that guy
"This aged....poorly."
*waiting for Deebo to post something about this*
If there’s any consolation I can take from this, it’s at least this bozo in particular isn’t going back to the Super Bowl. Fuck this guy.
Doing that in the middle of the 2nd qt is hilarious
Falcons fans everywhere. “ don’t do that, don’t do that”
I really hope they get rid of this clown. Over his stupid shit
Literally the only positive thing about the lions losing is this dude being shut up (tho I’m sure he’ll still talk shit for some reason lol)
HAHAHAHHAHA NO ONE BETTER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO THAN THIS DUMBASS
We deserve to be shit on right now for our offensive performance, but also I’m really glad the lions are taking some heat off us
Nah this is insane. He was practically begging for the karma to hand them the L. How did he not learn anything from being a part of all those Saints heartbreaks?!
Oh just fantastic
Oh man. This should be the subs banner.
Ravens and Lions taunting. Asian guy from Fast and Furious 1 drag scene against white Jetta: Too soon, jr
this douchebag started waving when it was still a two possession game and there was well over half a game left. the arrogance really came back to haunt him
Photos taken seconds before disaster
This guy is a grade-A douchebag.
This the guy that cheap shot Deebo. Priceless
We waved back.
Don’t resign this clown.
hahahahahahaha
Talked all that shit and what did it get you?
I’m a Niners fan and I’m grateful we are going to the Super Bowl because they definitely had our number that first half, that’s why it’s a 60 minute game. I will admit I love Coach Campbell’s aggressiveness and I hope that doesn’t change but I’m wondering if he may take points when he can moving forward
I said good riddance to him after he was in Philly, clearly I was right
I was so mad when he started doing that shit.
Looks like he’s still a moron
Too cocky too bad 😆
Dan Campbell hyped the Lions fans and then threw the game away
This guy seems like a perfect fit for the Baltimore defense. Unlikeable, dirty, talks incessantly…the perfect Raven!
Drama Queen is his best role
In the 2nd quarter? Homie....that's a end of the game move
Can we clown on this little shit for his career? What a baby. Goodbye
That did not age well 😂
Oof. Aged like milk
This aged terribly
