Who is your favorite NFC East clown?

PrintWith the recent entertaining daily trials and tribulations of Dez Bryant, it got me thinking... Who is my favorite NFC East non-Eagle jackass? In alphabetical order, here are my 9 finalists:
1) Dez Bryant - Talented kid, but just google him and click recent news. I won't add anything further.
[Note by JimmyK, 03/29/11 4:48 PM EDT ] - A THIRD lawsuit has now come to light. People are coming out of the woodwork at this point.
2) Martellus Bennett -The following quote is from Jerry Jones after the 2009 trade deadline:
"We had a significant offer for a key player that we turned down, and turned down in getting in more extended dialogue for," Jones said before Wednesday's practice. "So we did have that kind of activity . . . but I shouldn't name the player or the team. It was a very firm, significant offer for one of our young players that we had a chance for a lot of consideration if we had wanted to take it, and we didn't."
That player was Bennett. WHOOPS! Want a mulligan on that one, Jer? To date MartyB has 104 youtube videos... and 4 career TD's (none the last two seasons). This one is an apology rap, in the wake of an explicit rap for which he was fined $22,000 (continued after the jump):
3) Tashard Choice - I swear I didn't mean for the first 3 guys to be Cowboys, haha. I guess they're just front-loaded alphabetically. Anyway, nothing really wrong with Choice, but if he's a big fan of our QB, then he's OK with me. Gotta love the little "OK, on your way little buddy" head pat Vick gives him:
4) Chris Cooley - On the Donovan McNabb trade:
"This is one of the top 10 biggest bonehead trades in the history of the NFL."
I can probably think of 10 that were worse, Chris. Don't be so hard on your franchise.
5) Albert Haynesworth - Failed conditioning tests, an utterly absurd contract, bitching about the defensive scheme, terrorizing motorists, fondling waitresses, need I go on? But my favorite Haynesworth moment is this:
6) Brandon Jacobs - I really just wanted an excuse to post this (my favorite taunt is at the 1:18 mark):
7) Mike Jenkins - I think the video speaks for itself (and Collinsworth's commentary at the end is absolutely fantastic):
Bonus Mike Jenkins video!
8) Laron Landry - Tried to intimidate DeSean Jackson pregame...
And then the first play of the game in route to a 59 point drubbing...
9) Antrel Rolle - Don't boo me :(
Did I miss anyone?

Can’t get enough of poking fun at that loser.

Cam Newton: future QB bust
bearing in mind that he dressed up like bin laden on the 4th of july… and the fact that cowboy fans think he’s still the best backup TE in football.

Voted Haynesworth
Probably as much to do with living in DC and watching the (knowledgeable) Skins fans hide their face in their hands after the $100 million dollar man signed. THEN came the poor play and public feud with the new coach. They…haven’t had much to say on the matter since.
Right now my favorite is Dez. Its fun to watch Dallas fans think he will be something while at the same time watch him throw it all away, he is a dummy. I told everyone I could prior to the 2010 draft that he was talented but he was stupid and he would eventually bust and right now I’m looking pretty good with that prediction. He lied to NCAA investigators because he thought he broke the rules (knowingly breaking what he thought was a rule) and it turned out to not be a violation but he was suspended for lying about it. Then Oklahoma State bans him from their campus. Then he bombs his pro-day. He forgot to bring his cleats to his pro-day. The coaches badmouthed him. Now he gets to the Cowboys, refuses to be hazed. He throws up on the practice field he is so out of shape. He breaks his ankle (I think that’s what it was). Then he gets kicked out of a mall for sagging too much. Then he gets sued by two jewelry stores for a combined 700+k (I think) because he didn’t make the payments on it.
Dez is dumb as hell. Still sort of afraid of him but man is he dumb.

Had to give it to Dez
…simply because of his recent antics and the fact that he owes about million now to various jewelers…
"It's good to have critics because that's what motivates you and helps you take your game to another level, ... They talked about Michael Jordan and said he didn't have a jump shot. They say the same thing about me — I can't throw the football and all that. Say whatever you want about me. It makes me strive harder."

Giants fans like Shawn
he did an admirable job last year. had to miss a few games for the back of course, but was a fantastic low risk high reward pick-up

Apologies for being nit-picky about this, but I think the “low risk high reward” moniker gets thrown around too loosely. With Andrews, can we change it to “low risk, low-medium reward?”
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
i agree it is thrown around way too often
but…. he was a starting LT for a majority of the season. as far as free agent OL signings go, this one turned out about as good as you can ever ask for.
by Plaxico Burress on Mar 30, 2011 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions
LOL
over. i say 80-83. i am a very optimistic fan tho. reyes and beltran need to get 600 ABs. if that can happen, and the team can stay relativly healthy as a whole, i see a possible fight for the wildcard.
by Plaxico Burress on Mar 30, 2011 2:14 PM EDT up reply actions
I think they can win as many as 85 if everything reeeeeeaaaallllly falls right for them, including getting Santana out there by July. I also think they could win as little as 65 if they get off to a horrid start and just decide to shelf Santana for the season and trade away whatever valuable parts they have left.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
thats my biggest fear. if they have another crap season, reyes is gone, beltran is gone, wright is possibly gone, ike could be as well…. i really really do not want to see them trade away the core of thier team as start from scratch.

Unquestionably Fat Alby, but Shawna Andrews deserves an honorable mention
Although, what has he done since he left us?
"This is one of the top 10 biggest bonehead trades in the history of the NFL."
-Redskins TE Chris Cooley
Haynesworth
Without a doubt. Honorable mention to Clinton Portis for the Phillies hat debacle.
What’s stunning to me is that of the 2 players I mentioned, Portis was the one who got cut. I think Dan Snyder might actually be my favorite NFC East clown.
+1 for snyder
he might be the worst owner in all of sports, (sue me danny boy)

I'm torn...
On the one hand, how can you not love the Redskins still having Haynesworth? On the other, Brandon Jacobs is a total clown who curses out the media, throws his helmet into the stands, and just generally acts like a spoiled child and a diva. But. Here’s where Jacobs gets a bit of an edge for me: the play where he completly annihilated Laron Landry.

No sir!
Let the beasting begin.

Haynesworth refuses to be pigeon-holed
in the categories of “on-field disappointment” like Bennett, “doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut” like Cooley, or “handles adversity poorly” like Jacobs and Rolle. He is a disaster for his team and embarrassment to his organization on all fronts: financial, legal, moral, and football. Dez needs a little development to grow into Haynesworth’s shoes, but he can take over when the big guy is make LT-type headlines in a few years.
Djax could be a clown
But he is my favorite
any day is a good day to be a Dodgers, Eagles, Penguins, Texas A&M fan! except when they loose
I was born the year Brett Favre started playing.... amazing

the article says jackass,
not necessarily player, so I’m going off the board and voting for a tie between Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones. :)
ELI!
He is clown shoes. Just look at the guy! He is a walking Fuck up waiting to happen.

Are we talking clown as in goofy and stupid or are we talking ass clown as in jackass?
The Eagles have 3 NFL Championships. How many does your team have Dallas fans? Oh yeah, zero.
I had to go with Choice
My favorite, actually means my favorite. Not some one I like to make fun of lol

Living in NY, Antrel Rolle is my favorite to hear a quote from. Considering the amount of times he criticized Coughlin this year, it’s amazing he hasn’t been cut yet. Usually unwarranted stuff too, you can tell he hated having to work hard in minicamps and decided he was gonna call Coughlin out any time something went wrong even if it was completely ludicrous.
Voted for Fat Al
But those videos of Jenkins really made me think about it. I still have to put it up to the contract. Someone better at math then me should figure out exactly how much the Redskins paid him for his 5 seond nap during that game.
Also, thinking about all the flak for Asante and his tackling, at least he makes an effort, and dosen’t just watch his guy go by him (Jenkins again)

In terms of favourite player on the list I would say Choice, to be fair his mistake was just being naive about the consequences of doing that on live television… My vote for the biggest clown would have to be Dez Bryant though.
I feel a bit sorry for Haynesworth, no doubt he’s not got a great character to have around the locker room but it’s pretty clear that Shanahan isn’t exactly a people person after the way he treated McNabb. I would still like to have Fat Al in Philadelphia under coaches that wouldn’t go out of their way to piss him off (and offer him stupid amounts of money to stay and then expect him to suddenly have a character change… Apparently that’s one thing that a bunch of guaranteed money can’t buy.)
I felt bad for Choice.
Honestly, from what I understand, that kind of thing happens all the time. I saw a show called “Sports Jobs” with Junior Seau where he was a ball boy, and took a box of balls to the opposing locker room to get them all autographed by the entire team.
And if you look at how the entire league has treated Vick since he got back, I don’t think it even registered with him that he was asking a hated rival for an autograph. He was asking a guy he grew up admiring, who had turned his life around and become one of the most powerful comeback stories in sports. Just unfortunate that the cameras were rolling.
Peters was asked if he wanted to be on this list but didn’t hear the request due to his radio being too loud. Zing!

that’s a zing? i swear to god. These kids today are gorwing up to be total pansies with the sense of humor thing. Go watch some good old school stand up and some good old fashioned comedies from the 80’s and 90’s. Maybe some eddie murphy stand up, carling. anything you can find. Really study them.. see what humor is. Pay attention… then come back and try again.. this fucking generation
