Steve Johnson just on Jim Rome

He didnt say that.

He said if he works out more he will have more energy, not that he was spent at the end of games.


You are crazy.

You are crazy.

"Maybe I'll be more energized to finish out games." Only way he says something like that is if he doesn't have enough energy at the end of games.

Wow. You are really out there.

[buffaloftw]

Wow. You are really out there.

Why mention it at all if it isn't a problem? Stevie has never been known as being prudent with his words. I think the truth slipped out at an inopportune time.

The results speak for themselves. He gets it done. 1st quarter or 4th quarter. Just because he said something funny doesn't mean you need to take it literally.

I didn't think anything he said was funny, quite contrary, his comments are disturbing. He himself thinks he is under-performing his potential as a result of a lack of him doing "football work."

Only if you take a guy, whose motto is why so serious, literally when he said he got from a 7th round pick to a 1k receiver 3 years runny by playing basketball and running around the block with his wife. Rome has had Stevie on a bunch and Rome is all about Hyperbole. You don't think it is possible that he was joking?

A quick quip? maybe. A rather sincere sounding minute and 30 seconds bragging about how little work he has done in past offseasons? Nope.

Stevie is very good at what he does, but everyone can use a bit of added strength.

Example: Did anyone hear that story about the 49ers from John Clayton the other day?

He said on the radio that they had to find a separate gym the other day so that their D-linemen could squat 600 lb. All of their d-linemen were squatting 600 lb. He said that Ricky Jean Francois squatted 700 lb.

Sure, that's d-linemen, but that's also part of the difference between that team and everyone else. This was/is during super bowl week...just a few days before the game.

In case you have ever wondered why sports media generally does such a poor job, and in particular Buffalo NY sports media, today WGR550 gave us a Harvard Case Study.

In case you haven’t heard, Stevie Johnson stopped by Jim Rome’s camp on Radio Row in New Orleans today to chat things over. Stevie and Rome have quite a rapport built up to the point where Stevie will be quite honest, and today was no exception. When Rome asked how Stevie was keeping busy in the off season, Stevie mentioned that he really didn’t “work out” too much. Rome asked if that meant he didn’t do anything, to which Stevie responded that he didn’t really lift weights, electing to instead keep in shape by running and playing basketball.

we knew years back Stevie doesn't lift. no news.

[jasonb]

sorry, read the link after. that tells the full story"

"Schopp was suggesting that since the Bills only receiver to ever record back to back 1000 yard seasons (twice!) was candid about his disinterest in weight training, it might not be a crazy idea to cut him loose in order to “send a message.”

I couldn’t believe it either."

friggin stupid idea to cut him over that. more muscles won't improve his game; he's shifty and that's his strength, not brute force. he might even get slower with more bulk.

Stevie has had three 1000 yard seasons in a row by the way. Your article says he's had back to back 1000 yard seasons twice which implies he's actually had four 1000 yard seasons.

Look at again, but read it this time.

I looked at it and read it the first time. A second reading of it won't change what it says and implies.

Why are there so many sites on here shamelessly promoting their own sites? Isn't this spamming?

Here's the whole write up for those who don't want to give the site anymore added traffic.

Back to back twice. MEANING our writer said it happened twice that he had back to back years. Use your head.

[cforce17]

You're making up an implication where there is none and reading way too far into a semantic device.

[WilliamsWreckingCrew]

Personally I really don't care about the comments, but he would have been better off just keeping his mouth shut because the buffalo media vultures like Jerry Sullivan and Sal Mariana are already stirring the pot big time on twitter about this.

What do you expect from a dude from California trying to monitor what free blogs can post on a free message board?

Back to back once is two 1000 yard seasons. Back to back again would be back to back twice would imply he was again had back to back 1000 yard seasons....four 1000 yard seasons
