Ah yes, back to the grind. Thanksgiving may be over, but we were especially thankful to find this nugget about A.J. Hawk this morning.
Buried in this story about Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Davante Adams having a non-serious heel injury, was a few lines about how A.J. Hawk sucks.
You know we LOVE Hawk and think he’s just a world-class linebacker. A world-beater in fact. Just look at all of his Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors! That guy needs a separate house for all his accolades!
Okay, right. Rob Demovsky apparently asked Hawk if HE was injured, primarily because he looked like a clown getting beat by Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph last week.
Rudolph, who has been injured most of the season, burned Hawk for a 23-yard reception on the Vikings’ first offensive play.
Nope. Hawk isn’t injured, he’s just slow and dumb.
“It wasn’t from being unhealthy or whatever,” Hawk said. “He just caught me by surprise. I should’ve anticipated him coming across earlier, but it wasn’t anything health-wise.
“I’m good. I’m healthy. There’s no way I would ever say anything if I wasn’t, but I’m actually not lying to you.”
Ah, good. So not only does A.J. Hawk suck, but if he was sucking worse than he normally sucks because of an injury, he could conceal that injury in order to stay on the field and keep sucking.
It’s as if the football gods have given us the awesomeness that is Jay Cutler to even out giving us the crap that is A.J. Hawk.
