Wasn't he throwing people out of windows after that? Um, it was off a balcony ... and no, well, he never did get convicted ... she said she was "protecting him" by jumping off herself. If I'm Keyshawn and I want to play again, and there's a team out there that will pay me - why would I say no? Weedy, I'll throw some more Jimmy B. out there in support ... I know a lot of guys hang on because they need the money. If that's why they have to stay, they should stay. Play until they're second string, third string, until their legs fall off. It's a good living, it's legal. There's no loss of dignity in that" Thing is, I'm not so sure that Keyshawn is one of those in the same category as the broke NBAers five years later. In this day and age, for an athlete of KJ's calibre (as mediocre as most on here might think his career might have been), from salary and endorsements, he surely can't "need the money". But, how would I know what he needs or doesn't? Moreover, why should I care whether he continues to play, or hang 'em up for good? I guess it's just the fan in me who likes to see room for new guys. This isn't a George Foreman-like comeback story. Nor a guy aimin' to break some milestone. So I do think he should wave bye-bye once and for all.
Keyshawn had good hands and wasn't afraid to run slants and crosses across the middle. That said, he should stay retired. I think he'll get better in the booth. I'd rather listen to him than Michael Irvin, that's for damn sure.
I'd rather listen to him than Michael Irvin, that's for damn sure. When it gets to the point our only choices are to listen to either Keyshawn Johnson or Michael Irvin, I will never again turn up the volume on NFL broadcasts. As for Keyshawn, I was kind of surprised last year when the Panthers chose to cut ties with him. Seeing how successful the team wound up being, it was probably a blessing for him. It seems to me he could have latched on with another squad last year (provided he was willing to accept a contract in line with what he could offer, which I doubt). As a low-end number two, or number three receiver, he has value, especially in the red zone.
According to the article the Titans offered him $8 mil for two years plus incentives. He probably would have been a good fit in Tennessee.
He probably would have been a good fit in Tennessee. I seem to remember having this discussion a year ago. There was a good bit of interest by members of this site then.
Boo Hoo, no one's paying any attention to me waaaaa!! Keyshawn, there's an old saying," As the man gets older, he ran faster as a boy" As a Jet fan, you were never as good as you thought you were, stay in the booth. I also agree with BitterOldPunk, I'll take Keyshawn in the booth over Irvin any day. Can I get an interpreter here!!!
I'd rather listen to him than Michael Irvin, that's for damn sure. I heard that on the new TV's there will be a MIAP button on them so when he talks it will interpret what he is saying to everybody. The TV companies say it will work just like the SAP button does for Spanish speaking people.
