I guess I sort of appreciate that Osi Umenyiora is trying to be polite about his six-sack game last September that’s universally hailed as evidence that Winston Justice will never make it in the NFL:
“(Justice) is a good offensive tackle, man,” Umenyiora said. “He’s not a bad football player. I hate the fact that when people mention his name right now, they just associate him with having given up those sacks. But everybody seemed to be watching that game. I felt bad for the kid. But I had to do what I had to do.”
Felt bad for the kid, huh. I’m flattered that you felt badly for him, and I hope that in your generosity and kindness you can be a bit more forgiving next time around.
If I were Justice, I’d be pretty miffed by the overall level of condescension (admittedly warratned in this case as Osi is a baller and Justice is a backup). Personal bulletin board material and whatnot. At the very least I’d take a moment to review my copy of True Romance:
