He says it in interviews that he had no idea what coverages were. He said that in college Hallman just told him to make it happen lol.

His QB confirmed it. I love how you argue with factual evidence so much. Saves everybody the time of taking you seriously.

I didn’t deny what you said lol. I asked a follow up question to what you said. I’ll ask again, but I’m sure you’ll just avoid answering it.

there anyone else in the world that had the athletic ability of Chad Johnson? Or was he alone in the entire world with those abilities?

It’s a deflection, you’re moving the goal post because you didn’t get the answers you thought you’d get. You really don’t think people pick up on what you’re doing? My goodness man, poor thing.

15 years in he still didn't understand what an illegal forward pass was. I never saw a QB with that much experience, still go 3 yards down field and pass the ball.

Goalposts haven’t been moved. I’m asking if he was able to “make it happen” ? Was he successful in college?

When you find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging.

That’s pretty bad on his part. But not understanding a specific rule certainly doesn’t mean he didn’t understand the sport he was playing lol

Let’s go on record. Did Brett Favre understand football? Simple question. Not sure why you are so scared to answer.

5 rings to 4, stayed with his team a whole career…you’ll never confuse LeBron with a concept like the Mamba Mentality, probably read past the first page in all his books…

On a breakaway layup with no one ahead of you but a distant trailing defender, would you pass the ball behind you to a trailing teammate who is covered by the trailing defender?

Or would you just make the layup?

Reese understands Reese, basketball, not so much.

Just because you make a dumb play doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t understand basketball
