C.J. Gardner-Johnson Doesn't Give A Shit About Puka Nacua Breaking Records, He's Here To 'Raise Banners. Fuck The Interceptions.'

[Source] - “I’m going to be all the way completely thorough,” Duce said. “I don’t watch football, and I don’t know a damn about who is breaking records. I got receivers doing the same (bleep) he’s doing. Who’s got more yards, Amon-Ra (St. Brown) or him? There you go. So, why would I pay attention to him. I got a receiver who finna break -- who’s got more yards, Puka or him? So why would I pay attention to someone who’s not on my team? No disrespect.”

First off, I had to research the whole name change to Ceedy Duce. Apparently that's a thing even though I've never heard one person call CJ Gardner-Johnson Ceedy Duce. Impeccable name though. Ceedy Duce is a dude you bring in to get you to a Super Bowl. Fuck playoffs as he says, he wants to raise two more banners. 

Do I think it's crazy to call out Puka Nacua? Sure. You don't want to give Sean McVay, Stafford and Nacua/Kupp any ammo in the playoffs. They've won a Super Bowl, they know what playoff football is like. But if I'm a Lions fan I'm breaking down walls. This is what I want to hear. No same old Lions shit. You even have the moon in your favor! 

You can't tell me that's not a sign. I don't believe in the whole astrology, Mercury in retrograde or any weird shit like that. But I do believe in random stats like this. Last win a waxing crescent, this week a waxing crescent. I believe in signs and not just what Jersey Jerry comes up with. I believe in this. 

Kinda hilarious he just flat out admits he doesn't watch football. I don't want to believe him, but how can't you? No one just admits they don't watch football. You come up with something about Nacua like 'I believe in our defense, I'm not worried about that.' Simple. But nope, that's not how CJ Gardner-Johnson lives. He's gonna tell you exactly how he feels. That said 'raise banners, fuck interceptions' is an incredible line that Lions fans need to run with. 

Not to mention the whole yards thing? Nacua has 1,486 yards this year. St. Brown has 1,515. It's not like some crazy margin. They are both insanely good. But point to Gardner-Johnson, St. Brown has more yards so why would he care about Nacua? Pointless if you ask him. Nothing like some playoff football. Need Gardner-Johnson to keep delivering the quotes.
