There were quite a few potential candidates for Wednesday’s Worst this week: T.O. showed his true dedication to the Bills, Jerry Jones contradicted himself for the fifty-thousandth time, some members of the Maryland women’s basketball team evidently didn’t feel like their sport was a big enough joke already so they came up with this slogan, and prison clearly hasn’t changed the eternal loser otherwise known as Ron Mexico.
But when push came to shove, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind who deserved this dishonor.
L.J. Smith was the definition of a bust with the Eagles, but not your typical “never stood a chance because he sucks” type of bust. No, LJ had talent…he was just lacking in other areas such as “toughness” and “heart.” You know it’s a bad sign when you are stunned when a guy manages to actually hang on to a ball on third down, or when he somehow starts more than three games in a row without going on the injured list (those sore pinky toes will get you every time!!)
Now LJ claims he is “renewed” after signing with the Baltimore Ravens. Nevermind that the Eagles gave him a perfect chance to succeed and prove his worth as their franchise player last season. Nevermind that he was handed the starting job from day one and ended up with a whopping 37 catches. Only NOW has he decided that he is actually going to try to improve as a player, now that he has officially screwed over the team that drafted him.
This can end in one of two ways: either LJ steps up and excels in Baltimore (Jackass had to wait till now to stop sucking?!?) or he ends up flopping just as much as he did in Philly (Jackass is hopeless.) Unfortunately both situations involve the Eagles wasting a second round pick on a tight end who can’t block, can barely catch, and will only be remembered ten years from now for almost being decapitated.
And to think we took this bum over Jason Witten.
