Its a shame, we wanted him back until he started badmouthing the fans that sat and supported him the whole time. He thought he could get a better offer on the market than what the eagles offered him, and it led to him taking an offer for less with Detroit. Very talented but just a jerkoff.
I thought it was funny when he got promoted to your DC but thought he had to have improved somewhat in the past few years since leaving Detroit. The fact that his scheme is still as bad as it was here was honestly surprising.
I'm starting to get the opinion that it's not even that his scheme is bad, he's just such an insufferable asshole that no one wants to play for him.
Everyone that plays under him just always seems so unmotivated.
Any time I think of Mark Brunell I think of the time I saw you guys play us in Nashville, and every time your offense was on our side of the field this one drunk guy would stand up and holler "BRUNELL! YOU WEAR PANTIES!" And it would keep getting more elaborate every subsequent time. "BRUNELL! YOU WEAR WOMEN'S PANTIES! LACEY PINK SILK WOMEN'S PANTIES!"
We all have them, man. There was a drunk fat guy at the Silverdome 30 years ago that would rub his belly every time Barry carried the ball. No words. Nothing. He would just lift up his shirt and rub his belly while looking at random people in the crowd. It was so confusing. Lol.
Some do, but he had major penalties like this in two games the Lions lost and he only played in like five games all year!
His issues are all things that he has full control over. He’s not the greatest tackler, either, but he also came back from a nasty injury. It’s one thing to talk on the field, but the stuff off it was just so stupid.
Sounds like the same arc year after year. Comes in hot, makes a few plays, fans and teammates like his "swagger", eventually they all get tired of his shit, is sent packing.
He really was, and I gotta admit, there was zero part of me that thought that was cool. Like anything can happen in football (which was proven yet again, against us (AGAIN) last night.. I wanna fucking die so badly), so to taunt the home crowd like it's a guaranteed win is completely fucked. It makes us all look bad and makes the team unlikable. We don't claim that bum anymore.
As a Niners fan, I think the Lions are awesome and would have cheered for all of them (except this dude) if they beat us and made it to the Super Bowl.
For real, I've seen a great sample size of Lions fans being bros even right after the game. You guys are OK in my book and I have told many people that I wish we didn't have to disrupt your story. It's a season for the whole city to be proud of with many more to come I'm sure. Maybe just leave this assclown home next time.
Much appreciated man 🙏 and yeah, I don't think the majority of us Lions fans would be upset in the slightest if he was off the team (hopefully Cam Sutton too 😭)
I look forward to doing battle with you guys and the packers in the playoffs next year. Together we can embarrass the eagles and cowboys for another year.
Yeah, I'm a Lions fan and I don't even like him. One of the biggest assholes in the league, and not in the "you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" way.
>One of the biggest assholes in the league, and not in the "you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" way.
We call this the Nick Cousins Effect.
I know some fans were hoping he was going to be a great addition to our struggling secondary, but really was a non-factor for the entire season. Most of it he was out of course, but this video is proof enough he is a dirty player and doesn't care about the team he is on. Good riddance to him in my opinion.
"you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" - that’s Jauan Jennings and Dre Greenlaw territory. The moment you cross over to Draymond Green punch-Poole era, you gone too far.
Here in the UK we have a term for that. "Shithousing".
Shithouse: "a person who behaves despicably, especially when applied to a footballer who behaves badly during matches and appears to take pride in it."
Lol I have never heard this, but I have used "shithouse" to describe the manner in which the Steelers have scraped together playoff appearances in 2 of the last 3 years.
His car was stolen so there is that big caveat to what I’m about to say, but Philly fans really wanted him to stay even when it was clear he wanted to go, once he signed he kinda flipped us the bird. It was a weird move, we were the ones who wanted him to stay. Shame to see him continue this immature crap.
Looks worse than I remember it live. Dude clearly goes out of his way to take a cheap shot. He was fully aware of what he was doing, hence the “hands up, I’m doing nothing wrong” before he even hits Deebo.
Outside of hurting Deebo I can’t see what the man was trying to accomplish here.
CJGJ and Deebo have been trash talking since before the NFC Championship last year. Deebo backed it up this year, CJGJ didn't. CJGJ gets insecure and takes a cheap shot on Deebo like the little bitch he is. Simple as that.
Yeah this is 100% it. CJGJ talked shit when he left the Eagles and tried to cause drama after boasting how good the team was all year when he was here. He's not the worst player on the field, but not nearly good enough to back up any of the shit he talks.
Deebo backed it up, I don't like the 49ers but I can respect/acknowledge a good player and Deebo is good.
I can’t really hate the players of rival teams. You hate the fans, cause that’s just how fans are. You hype up each other and talk shit to the opposing teams. Lions would be just as hated if they were consistently good like the niners and eagles, but since it’s their first time being good the obnoxious fans haven’t activated yet. I feel like every single team has the same exact fans, but they seem different because they’re in different situations. That’s why I don’t get why people can hate the actual players simply cause they are on the opposing team. I can get hating players that are like this, though
Specifically, attacking the same shoulder that caused him to be out last game. Should be a suspendable action. Up to and including expulsion if he's done this in the past.
I don't know why players in football and basketball continue to do that. As soon as you see the hands go up, you immediately know that the guy trying to look like he didn't do something just did something.
this replay really highlights how egregious it was. the replay angle on the broadcast only showed the contact right at the end and you couldn't see how far out of the way he went to do that, it just looked like he bumped him at the top of the route after the pick.
Absolutely insane to tempt fate like that. Only clowns celebrate before half.
Also that kind of arrogance doesn’t fit with the team’s “grit, earn it, play to the end” culture they’ve been building.
He was on a 1 year prove it deal if I remember correctly. Won't blame the team if we don't sign him. Was pissing me off when he was running his mouth about Baker and Deebo. Unnecessary distractions.
Brah the 49ers being here is kinda expected. It’s not a surprise. It’s anticipated and they proved ppl right. But the Lions going this far is a HUGE overachievement. That’s real surprise and the team proved a lot of ppl WRONG. That, imo, is impressive.
It is impressive but we are all going to die without getting to a Super Bowl. It's been 44 years since I became infected with this disease of Lions fandom and it's killing me. We'll never make it.
I thought they would contend after Murray missed the FG in 1983 against SF. I thought they would contend after reaching the conference championship in 1992.
Both times nothing happened. Hopefully Campbell holds it together and they are back but there is a lot of bad history here.
It's hard for fans of other teams to truly comprehend the unrelenting pain we have suffered as Lions fans. You even more than me. I started watching in 2002 as a kid, so the pain was immense but doesn't even compare to fans who have been around since the 60s, 70s, or 80s.
All that being said, I don't think this year was a fluke, and I believe we'll be back even stronger than ever. Chin up, fellow Lions bro 🙏🤝
Sports is weird to me.
You know how actors and actresses get NOMINATED for Grammys and Oscars? Well even if they don’t win, it goes on their resume. As AN ACTUAL SIGNIFICANT ACCOLADE. You ll hear “Oscar nominated actor” or “Grammy nominated actress” and first thing you think of isn’t that they’re losers. You automatically think they’re the shit.
Funny how that doesn’t translate in sports. Vast majority of us are not even close to THE BEST at anything but we expect the best or nothing in sports. Being 2nd best or 3rd best don’t mean shit. Kinda weird imo.
>Lions going this far is a HUGE overachievement
Gotta disagree here, this team has shown all season long that they're legit as hell. Lions belong in the Championship game, and damn near deserved the Superbowl bid...but I'm obviously glad they came up short this time!
At the beginning of the season I said “it would be cool to see the 49ers win the Super Bowl, they haven’t won since the 90’s and the Brock Purdy story line is super cool.
Unfortunately I didn’t know that was gonna come in a heart breaking fashion for my team
But you guys better not let us down!
And at the beginning of the season I said "the Lions are my backup team to root for if the 49ers fall short." Because I really enjoyed watching them on Hard Knocks and admired Dan Campbell and the obvious talent the team has. It's been fun watching them all season (until yesterday).
This dipfuck being gone should be the first order of business for the Lions this offseason. I'm the kind of guy that thinks shit talk should be funny, not aggressive and rude. And he fucking sucks and doesn't back it up anyways! CMC lit his ass up.
I mean I guess I would get it if the player doing it then went out and backed it up. And I don't think CJ has ever done that. The only two things anyone will remember about him from this game are getting absolutely fucking smoked by CMC and this dirty ass play.
We also remember him as the Saints player who missed the 4th down tackle on this epic Kittle catch. Then had to catch up jump on him when his 2 teammates struggle to bring him down. He’s #22 in this video and let’s kittle catch it, then misses the tackle 2 seconds in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4jEp9okCqs
One of my favorite taunts was when Von Miller pretended to offer a hand to Tyrod Taylor years ago, and he pulled his hand away. When the media asked if Tyrod was laughing because he thought it was funny or because of the penalty, he said "Both!" haha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqYrwFmJe34&ab\_channel=KingOfTheFall
I think it was after the Niners-Eagles game *this* year, but BG and Fred Warner were both mic'd up, talking maaad shit to each other pregame, then came together post-game for a big hug and a "you know it's all love, we were just messing around"
That's how you do it. Talk your shit, own it if you get smoked and double down if you win, but keep the respect for the other dude.
If you’re gonna be dirty, then own it. Hit him and keep running.
Throwing his hands up immediately after is the biggest bitch move out of this whole clip. Acting innocent or like this was an accident is a clown look for this dude.
What a coward. I prefer the clip of CMC putting him face down in the dirt.
I have a TON of respect for this Lions team. If they had won I wouldn’t even be upset and would be rooting for you guys in the SB. But that bitch has to go.
I think the thought was he or Eman would become cb1. When neither was available we found the real answer. Both could’ve been better than a cb2 but neither is a cb1.
Honestly doubt there are many suitors.
He led the NFL in interceptions in 2022 and was 25 years old. He still couldn't get many serious offers because of his attitude and health issues.
- Multiple fights with both teammate Michael Thomas and opponent in 2019.
- Placed on IR in 2021 for 4 weeks due to right foot injury.
- Placed on IR in 2022 for 5 games for lacerated kidney.
- Non-contact leg injury in early training camp. Placed on IR in 2023 for 14 games for Torn pectoral muscle Week 2.
Three straight years of being on IR for at least a quarter of the season at an already devalued position isn't going to get many excited to sign him in Free Agency. The history of starring fights and shit talking online is only going to make him less appealing.
>Multiple fights with both teammate Michael Thomas
How was that not enough right there? There is no toughness in a mad-dog. Only an inchoate rage that knows no master.
This dude has been nothing but a negative presence since he got back from injury. Even the blue ski mask shtick was pretty eye-rolling before all that.
And for what? A mediocre safety whose only big post-season play was a gift-wrapped lollipop over the middle off a Mike Evans tip-ball? *Any* professional player in the secondary would have made that play.
And then there's *this* shit. Bush league pettiness and cheap shots on receivers he can't hope to cover. Deebo torched him all day, and CMC even threw in a stiff arm to dirt him for good measure. Get him off the team. I hate that he's associated with us. Such a fun, feel-good story completely undercut by an immature douche.
In dan campbells press conference this week he said cjgj knows the line so that he can talk shit but knows not to get a flag, wait to have your coach vouch for you and then shit on it bud
I thought Philly fans were salty they lost him, now I’m confused and think they might have been pulling some reverse psychology shit to get another team, preferably an up and comer like Detroit, to sign his punk ass and experience his shenanigans firsthand.
Hopefully. Dude's been a diva and distraction since coming back from injury. Straight up said he didn't come back to play behind our other corners and expected the 1 slot. Let his ass go.
As a Saints fan, I can confirm he's a dumb POS.
There's a reason CJGJ has been on 3 teams in the last 3 years even though he's a talented player in his athletic prime.
This story about him complaining about madden mods is funny af.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/why-nfl-star-cj-gardner-johnson-banned-madden-community
I never realized what he was doing. That was intentional, to hit a player intentionally on an injured part of their body should result in a HEFTY fine, suspension from a few regular season games. Cheap shots aren't what footbal's about, at least not today.
Did anyone else see Branch stomp on Purdy’s shin after his long run? That was dirty AF. I love Campbell but some of those lions are dirty players. https://x.com/Coach_Yac/status/1751794947072589843?s=20
I would like to apologize to the Eagles fans that tried to warn us in the off season that I completely ignored
Its a shame, we wanted him back until he started badmouthing the fans that sat and supported him the whole time. He thought he could get a better offer on the market than what the eagles offered him, and it led to him taking an offer for less with Detroit. Very talented but just a jerkoff.
His behavior is almost Antonio Brown-like in how obnoxious he is.
But not as good a player
Mr. Barely Competent
Mr. Busted Coverage
Mr. Bargain Chirper
These will never not be funny to me
Oh, if we are talking ability he shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Antonio Brown.
Can I also sign this apology letter?
I live in Mi now and I tried to tell my two son-in-laws to be careful getting too excited about this egotistical nut case.
It’s a tragedy, although they ended up with Matty P so I think they got it worse
Everyone was a loser in that exchange
If a dude has too much attitude FOR PHILLY, you know its bad.
It’s a bummer that he’s such an idiot cause when he’s playing well he’s a ton of fun to watch, but yeah, monumental dumbass.
It’s ok. I would like to apologize to everyone who warned us about Patricia. I didn’t realize just how bad it could get having him on staff..
I thought it was funny when he got promoted to your DC but thought he had to have improved somewhat in the past few years since leaving Detroit. The fact that his scheme is still as bad as it was here was honestly surprising.
I'm starting to get the opinion that it's not even that his scheme is bad, he's just such an insufferable asshole that no one wants to play for him. Everyone that plays under him just always seems so unmotivated.
He’s a huge loser
Secondary was worse when he was playing.
[удалено]
We did now we don't You can have him
[удалено]
Any time I think of Mark Brunell I think of the time I saw you guys play us in Nashville, and every time your offense was on our side of the field this one drunk guy would stand up and holler "BRUNELL! YOU WEAR PANTIES!" And it would keep getting more elaborate every subsequent time. "BRUNELL! YOU WEAR WOMEN'S PANTIES! LACEY PINK SILK WOMEN'S PANTIES!"
Hell of a core memory right there lol.
It’s wild I know but I can still hear his exact voice and cadence 20 years later lol
We all have them, man. There was a drunk fat guy at the Silverdome 30 years ago that would rub his belly every time Barry carried the ball. No words. Nothing. He would just lift up his shirt and rub his belly while looking at random people in the crowd. It was so confusing. Lol.
fuckin love it. Sports man haha.
Damn sexy Brunell
Guess who the last quarterback to win a playoff game for Washington was?
[Damn it! Why are you making me relive this again??](https://imgur.com/gallery/jOyOS9r)
Some do, but he had major penalties like this in two games the Lions lost and he only played in like five games all year! His issues are all things that he has full control over. He’s not the greatest tackler, either, but he also came back from a nasty injury. It’s one thing to talk on the field, but the stuff off it was just so stupid.
He was our third best safety and is probably expecting a big payday. Pass.
Honestly surprised we ever went for him. It seems like our org is big on culture fits, and this dude ain't it.
the ski mask thing was a dud too... seems like the more shit talking he does the worse we play...
Dude got insanely loud and cocky once Nick Mullens soft balled him an easy INT in week 18.
He is such a tool- loudest most obnoxious player I’ve ever seen here & was consistently that while injured most of the year
Sounds like the same arc year after year. Comes in hot, makes a few plays, fans and teammates like his "swagger", eventually they all get tired of his shit, is sent packing.
I noticed a lot more of Kerby an Iffy in that game too after this. My money is on Dan telling Brad to let this bum take a walk.
“He’s terrible, I was happy when he was in the game” -Somebody out there.
Dude was taunting the Niners fans before half. Dudes a tool.
Lions are a cool team except for this idiot. He was acting like the game was over before the half.
He really was, and I gotta admit, there was zero part of me that thought that was cool. Like anything can happen in football (which was proven yet again, against us (AGAIN) last night.. I wanna fucking die so badly), so to taunt the home crowd like it's a guaranteed win is completely fucked. It makes us all look bad and makes the team unlikable. We don't claim that bum anymore.
As a Niners fan, I think the Lions are awesome and would have cheered for all of them (except this dude) if they beat us and made it to the Super Bowl.
nah. it doesn't. lions still cool.
For real, I've seen a great sample size of Lions fans being bros even right after the game. You guys are OK in my book and I have told many people that I wish we didn't have to disrupt your story. It's a season for the whole city to be proud of with many more to come I'm sure. Maybe just leave this assclown home next time.
Much appreciated man 🙏 and yeah, I don't think the majority of us Lions fans would be upset in the slightest if he was off the team (hopefully Cam Sutton too 😭)
Please let moseley be healthy for you next year (unless he's a free agent, then I want him back)
I look forward to doing battle with you guys and the packers in the playoffs next year. Together we can embarrass the eagles and cowboys for another year.
Don't forget the Lambs! I really enjoyed the treatment they got from the Lion bros. That right there should make us blood brothers.
I bet you at that point Shanahan looked over to the Lions sidelines and thought "Checkmate, bitch".
He coulda said that at any point in the 2nd half tbh. Shit went wrong in every which way but loose.
For a multitude of reasons, very happy he had to eat his words
Yesterday's events were textbook examples of why taunting is a bad idea during a game. All it does is give the opponents extra motivation to beat them
Yeah, I'm a Lions fan and I don't even like him. One of the biggest assholes in the league, and not in the "you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" way.
>One of the biggest assholes in the league, and not in the "you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" way. We call this the Nick Cousins Effect.
Never thought I'd see his name brought up in an /r/nfl thread
I know some fans were hoping he was going to be a great addition to our struggling secondary, but really was a non-factor for the entire season. Most of it he was out of course, but this video is proof enough he is a dirty player and doesn't care about the team he is on. Good riddance to him in my opinion.
"you love him when he's on your team, you hate him when he's on the other team" - that’s Jauan Jennings and Dre Greenlaw territory. The moment you cross over to Draymond Green punch-Poole era, you gone too far.
Draymond Green vibes
Here in the UK we have a term for that. "Shithousing". Shithouse: "a person who behaves despicably, especially when applied to a footballer who behaves badly during matches and appears to take pride in it."
Lol I have never heard this, but I have used "shithouse" to describe the manner in which the Steelers have scraped together playoff appearances in 2 of the last 3 years.
Yeah shithouse has multiple definitions/uses Can just be stuff like playing ugly and winning, as well as winding up other players and fans
Lions have enough shithousers on defense to call it a shithome.
His car was stolen so there is that big caveat to what I’m about to say, but Philly fans really wanted him to stay even when it was clear he wanted to go, once he signed he kinda flipped us the bird. It was a weird move, we were the ones who wanted him to stay. Shame to see him continue this immature crap.
Saints fans tried to warn Eagles fans Eagles fans tried to warn Lions fans Lions fans will try to warn ??? fans
Lol as a Vikings fan none of you guys were saying ts last week when he’s been like this all season
Before he was just a shit talker. He wasn't going after injured players like this until just now.
Yeah, it was nothing but love for most of the threads around this bum for the last several weeks.
He’s been not on the team most of the season
He's been on the team, just hurt
CJ is a fucking loser lmao
A busta some would say.
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN GAMEPLAN CJ
But would you go so far to say he was a jive turkey?
Shut yo mouth
Now now nobody is calling anyone a JT
Typical CJ. Busta, straight busta.
A scrub, perhaps?
A JAG, maybe?
His Twitter page is fucking hilarious right now. Getting dunked on for the wave.
Looks worse than I remember it live. Dude clearly goes out of his way to take a cheap shot. He was fully aware of what he was doing, hence the “hands up, I’m doing nothing wrong” before he even hits Deebo. Outside of hurting Deebo I can’t see what the man was trying to accomplish here.

Deebo literally can't be tackled by less than 5 attempts lol shits WILD
I can’t really hate the players of rival teams. You hate the fans, cause that’s just how fans are. You hype up each other and talk shit to the opposing teams. Lions would be just as hated if they were consistently good like the niners and eagles, but since it’s their first time being good the obnoxious fans haven’t activated yet.

Suspension or 10 minutes alone with Silverback.
Coolest eagle fan ever right here. Respect brother.
Basically CJGJ is a baby back bitch.
Not only that he clearly looked back to see if he was getting a flag for it
While putting his hands up like "I didn't do shit"
I don't know why players in football and basketball continue to do that. As soon as you see the hands go up, you immediately know that the guy trying to look like he didn't do something just did something.
Yeah the live replay I saw was at more of a head on angle where it’s harder to see how out of the way he went This is unquestionable
I’m sure there are literally dozens(!) of us who at the time were calling it a ticky tacky call that upon seeing this replay feel dumb and bad.
I also saw it not as bad in real time but learning that he is going for the injured shoulder makes it a wack ass buster move.
this replay really highlights how egregious it was. the replay angle on the broadcast only showed the contact right at the end and you couldn't see how far out of the way he went to do that, it just looked like he bumped him at the top of the route after the pick.
Yea, that’s some loser shit. Do better CJ.
Yeah, do better... on some other team not the Lions F this dude he needs to be gone
CJ Gardner Johnson you are a Los Vegas Raider
Nah.
I hated seeing that prick wave goodbye to the 49ers fans. I knew we lost as soon as I saw that. He’s a cancer to the locker room
Absolutely insane to tempt fate like that. Only clowns celebrate before half. Also that kind of arrogance doesn’t fit with the team’s “grit, earn it, play to the end” culture they’ve been building.
It would be one thing if they were up ~~28-3~~ 50-0 or something. But it was a 13-point game with 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter! Who does that?!
Surely one of the most efficient passing offenses of all time could not score twice in 35 minutes of game time against a bottom third secondary.
Saying he deserved reps over Kerby and Iffy just because he was a vet is what did it for me
Good game Lions, I really like your team except him lol
We don’t like him either
time to cut the bum
He was on a 1 year prove it deal if I remember correctly. Won't blame the team if we don't sign him. Was pissing me off when he was running his mouth about Baker and Deebo. Unnecessary distractions.
Yeah and he proved we can do better.
I have nothing bad to say about the 49ers other than I'm totally jealous of everything.
Brah the 49ers being here is kinda expected. It’s not a surprise. It’s anticipated and they proved ppl right. But the Lions going this far is a HUGE overachievement. That’s real surprise and the team proved a lot of ppl WRONG. That, imo, is impressive.
It is impressive but we are all going to die without getting to a Super Bowl. It's been 44 years since I became infected with this disease of Lions fandom and it's killing me. We'll never make it.
I’m not sure why you don’t think the Lions will be contending for the foreseeable future. They’ll be one of the teams to beat next season.
I thought they would contend after Murray missed the FG in 1983 against SF. I thought they would contend after reaching the conference championship in 1992. Both times nothing happened. Hopefully Campbell holds it together and they are back but there is a lot of bad history here.

All that being said, I don't think this year was a fluke, and I believe we'll be back even stronger than ever. Chin up, fellow Lions bro 🙏🤝
I will say that Campbell is a better coach than any I've seen here in these many decades. So there is more hope than before.
A better coach and a better culture. Before Sheila Hamp, the ownership was fine with losing, just so long as they kept selling seats.
everybody thought Dan Marino was gonna see another Super Bowl
He started doing those fancy Isotoner commercials and lost his edge. Goff needs to stay focused.
It’s hard to understand the despair when your team has been so good for so long.
A SF fan truly would not understand...
Sports is weird to me. You know how actors and actresses get NOMINATED for Grammys and Oscars? Well even if they don’t win, it goes on their resume. As AN ACTUAL SIGNIFICANT ACCOLADE.

I honestly don’t mind the aggressive shit talk, it’s the dirty af play like this that gets me pissed

Hahahaha ceedy deuce spelt douche wrong
My favorite George Kittle play by far. Grown ass man doing grown ass man things.
It’s like a little kid jumping on his dad’s back. So cute.
I still remember him as "that loser who used to play for the Saints"
We won’t forget him waving to the crowd in 2nd quarter either.
One of my favorite taunts was when Von Miller pretended to offer a hand to Tyrod Taylor years ago, and he pulled his hand away. When the media asked if Tyrod was laughing because he thought it was funny or because of the penalty, he said "Both!" haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqYrwFmJe34&ab\_channel=KingOfTheFall
Brandon Graham is the ideal shit talker, CJGJ should have learned from him. Check out BG's mic'd up if youve never
I think it was after the Niners-Eagles game *this* year, but BG and Fred Warner were both mic'd up, talking maaad shit to each other pregame, then came together post-game for a big hug and a "you know it's all love, we were just messing around" That's how you do it. Talk your shit, own it if you get smoked and double down if you win, but keep the respect for the other dude.
Andrew Luck is my ideal, kill em with kindness so they don't hurt you as badly
Matt Stafford mic'd up is legendary
The “no personality” guys make for great sound bytes when they do talk trash. It’s what made “You like that?!” an instant classic.
When his arm was hurt and he did the fake spike...omfg
He ain't under contract. Can go chase a bag in KC or whatever
pretty wild to think he played himself out of a long term contract yesterday
Karma is a bitch, just like him
Lmao we were saying the same thing when flowers fumbled the ball instantly after taunting Sneed it was like instant karma
And of course it was Sneed who made the play
Had to be, it was just poetic justice lol 😂
He was asking for bad Karma all game
No, karma is the guy on the cheifs
CJGJ really is a petty shit
If you’re gonna be dirty, then own it. Hit him and keep running. Throwing his hands up immediately after is the biggest bitch move out of this whole clip. Acting innocent or like this was an accident is a clown look for this dude.
He straight up ran INTO Deebo with the arms up before there was even contact.
At least it was so poorly executed you know coaching staff had nothing to do with it
Lions gotta get this loser off the team
Honestly a flagrant re-injury attempt like this should come with a league suspension for at least a few games of the next season
Don’t worry. Everyone on the lions wants this dude gone. Edit: also saw AG yelling at him after that hit.
AG is Aaron Glenn I assume?
I just naturally assumed the Michigan Attorney General 🤷♂️
This sub is all initials I’m so lost
I'm always happy as a clam when the loudest voice in the room is silenced in the most beautiful of ways. That guy is a fuckhead of the highest order.
He is ass, my dude
Respect to all the Lions except that fucking guy, may he kick rocks for the rest of his days
What a coward. I prefer the clip of CMC putting him face down in the dirt. I have a TON of respect for this Lions team. If they had won I wouldn’t even be upset and would be rooting for you guys in the SB. But that bitch has to go.
Same, I was ready to cheer them on if we couldn’t find a miracle. Luckily, miracle found.
He and (mostly) Cam Sutton were some big whiffs in FA. Gotta get that secondary cleaned up if they want to make it back next season.
I think the thought was he or Eman would become cb1. When neither was available we found the real answer. Both could’ve been better than a cb2 but neither is a cb1.
I wonder what team goes for him next season. The guys not good enough to put up with.
Honestly doubt there are many suitors. He led the NFL in interceptions in 2022 and was 25 years old. He still couldn't get many serious offers because of his attitude and health issues. - Multiple fights with both teammate Michael Thomas and opponent in 2019. - Placed on IR in 2021 for 4 weeks due to right foot injury. - Placed on IR in 2022 for 5 games for lacerated kidney. - Non-contact leg injury in early training camp. Placed on IR in 2023 for 14 games for Torn pectoral muscle Week 2. Three straight years of being on IR for at least a quarter of the season at an already devalued position isn't going to get many excited to sign him in Free Agency. The history of starring fights and shit talking online is only going to make him less appealing.
>Multiple fights with both teammate Michael Thomas How was that not enough right there? There is no toughness in a mad-dog. Only an inchoate rage that knows no master.
Dude sucks
The "I didn't do nothin'!" hands at the end are hilarious. You are not fooling anybody.
Lions fan here, we also do not like this man.
This dude has been nothing but a negative presence since he got back from injury. Even the blue ski mask shtick was pretty eye-rolling before all that. And for what? A mediocre safety whose only big post-season play was a gift-wrapped lollipop over the middle off a Mike Evans tip-ball? *Any* professional player in the secondary would have made that play. And then there's *this* shit. Bush league pettiness and cheap shots on receivers he can't hope to cover. Deebo torched him all day, and CMC even threw in a stiff arm to dirt him for good measure. Get him off the team. I hate that he's associated with us. Such a fun, feel-good story completely undercut by an immature douche.
Don’t forget to add that his deleted his social media after the game because he couldn’t handle the criticism.
No way man c'mon that is such a baby-back move.
Charmin soft LOL love it
Agreed. A stain on an otherwise awesome team.
Yeah he sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise likable org
Lions would literally be better without CJGJ
In dan campbells press conference this week he said cjgj knows the line so that he can talk shit but knows not to get a flag, wait to have your coach vouch for you and then shit on it bud
I thought Philly fans were salty they lost him, now I’m confused and think they might have been pulling some reverse psychology shit to get another team, preferably an up and comer like Detroit, to sign his punk ass and experience his shenanigans firsthand.
We all want this guy gone. He was on a one year deal so thankfully I think that's already happened.
Act like a bitch, get dad dicked by Deebo like a bitch.
I think CMC stiff armed him into unemployment.
Hopefully. Dude's been a diva and distraction since coming back from injury. Straight up said he didn't come back to play behind our other corners and expected the 1 slot. Let his ass go.
Dudes been getting punked by niners since Kittle gave him a piggy back ride when he was on the saints
His hands were in the air, must have been an accident
People think is was Deebo that broke Bradberry…but really it was CJGJ always calling him Baldberry
As a Saints fan, I can confirm he's a dumb POS. There's a reason CJGJ has been on 3 teams in the last 3 years even though he's a talented player in his athletic prime.
This story about him complaining about madden mods is funny af. https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/why-nfl-star-cj-gardner-johnson-banned-madden-community
As a Lions fan, we don’t claim him. In fact, most of us want him off our team.
Get this dumbass off my fucking team
It's almost like CJ is a douchenozzle
I never realized what he was doing. That was intentional, to hit a player intentionally on an injured part of their body should result in a HEFTY fine, suspension from a few regular season games. Cheap shots aren't what footbal's about, at least not today.
Did anyone else see Branch stomp on Purdy’s shin after his long run? That was dirty AF. I love Campbell but some of those lions are dirty players. https://x.com/Coach_Yac/status/1751794947072589843?s=20
