The Rookies

Idiot, no savant.

As a Florida fan, I am entitled to irrationally hate Darnell Dockett for eternity, but the level of stupidity he reveals daily on Twitter sort of puts him over the top here.

In the above update, he asks Roger Goodell to add a 33rd team, and considers Los Angeles, Las Vegas and “another team in GA” possibilities. What, is the nightlife in Phoenix not enough for him? Where, exactly, would another team in Georgia play? What facilities does Las Vegas have? Ugh.

Oh, and there’s more.

Stop complaining.

You make millions of dollars and are whining about not being able to send messages from the sideline during the game you are paid millions of dollars to play? God, I hate people.

I want. To hit you. With an AP Stylebook.

I realize there’s value to allowing athletes unfettered access to fans and have written that stupidity should be ignored before, but something this colossally dumb and sloppy makes me want to watch the NFL less.

Also, this is all just an opportunity to play scoreboard: Since Dockett’s wrenching of Earnest Graham’s knee, the Gators have two titles, and Max Starks, a Steelers offensive lineman from Florida, earned a Super Bowl ring opposite Dockett this year.

Darnell Dockett can wrap himself in his blanket of ignorance.
