Merril Hoge Rips Stevie Johnson TD Dance Celebration vs NY Jets 11-27-11

[EpicGwar]

He isn't going anywhere 5 year deal Stevie is beast

[suorangehisk]

Cut him today? Just got a 5 year deal. Shut up Hodge

[vyizgr8t]

The guys who complain the most are usually the nfl players who were nobodys. How many people have bought a Merril Hodge jersey?

[Jamie0093]

Calm down Merill Hodge, it's a goddamn game. SJ was just having some fun with it.

[billskev12]

hoge needs to go fuck himself

[YoNaBuTt]

these guys are PROFESSIONAL football players. mature men play this game. not 14 year old boys. think about the successful men in the league that don't do these stupid celebrations. Peyton and eli manning, tom brady, arian foster, drew breese, ray rice, etc. these are professional articulate MEN. not lil boys. and after the celebration, stevie johnson dropped a wide open pass on 4th and 7 that woulda kept the drive alive anyway. yea thats the kinda of player i want on my team smh.

[thuglifezeem716]

i dont know what was more dumb, this or the randy moss touchdown celeb. they are trying to have fun this in now way what so ever offfends me or harms me.

[zaki122997]

stevies just tryin to lighten the team up with a little fun

[buffalobills2012]

If you cut stevie it would be all over its not like he shot somebody or even himself he did a conserveseal td dance

[jbwell24]

I love Stevie, but Merril is right here. The NFL Is for pros, not little immature boys.

[OfficerRamathorne]

I would cut this idiot analyst today. Bro ur gone. NFL is about entertainment. That's what fans want. And celebrating is entertainment.

[pimpinnevaslipin]

by his dumbass logic. . Deion Sanders should have never played or been cut when he was with ATL or Cowboys. . . . or better yet Lawerence Taylor should have been cut for posing after making a great play on defense. . . . NFL, NBA, MLB, and etc is all entertainment. . if it wasn't just entertainment and just a game the players would get played like a everyday worker and have a extremely low salary

[whooo200000000000000]

it a dance sc dont know shit it cool dance lets see him do it

[radien239]

Uhm yeah whens Merril going into the Hall of Fame who the Fuck is he?

[eatpanda118]

What about all of the other players that have show-boated in the past?!

[eatpanda118]

Meril get off of ESPN!

[dukenthaylor]

Wow! Wonder what proFESSSional..this hobbit is suckin' off @ ESPN?

[Skyhighblu]

That nigga shot heself Dogg hahaha I mean, 1 min you're dancing when ya ass should be home wit ya daughter and wife you love so much, next min DIS nikka strapped in the club shooting niggas??! Or just himself? #NotAGoodLook lmfao

[fancyviper]

the nfl aynalist on ESPN are so fucking stupid

[nateplaya88]

Merril Hoge is an idiot! I can't stand this guy! Cut one of your top 3 players for a dance!? Get out of here Merril!

[fallontheball]

Wow...I feel bad for you clowns, if you truly watch football for the celebrations.  If you want to see guys dance, go to a Lady Gaga concert. Jerry Rice didn't dance. Emmitt Smith didn't dance. You know why? Because they knew it was only a brief amount of time before they would be back in the end zone again. And to the guy who talked about Randy Moss and T.O., they can do all of the dancing they want when they win a Super Bowl...but that ain't happenin'. Stevie Johnson = ass clown

[mzjazzie820]

TO HELL WITH MERRIL!!! SOMEBODY NEEDED TO TEASE PLAXICO'S DUMB ASS!!! YOU SHOOT YOURSELF WITH YOU OWN GUN IN A CROWDED NIGHTCLUB AND GET SENTENCED TO 2 YRS IN JAIL AND STEVIE IS THE BAD GUY??? PLEASEEEEE...GIVE ME A BREAK MERRIL. ESPN SHOULD FINE YOU FOR OPENING YOUR MOUTH TO SUGGEST SOMEONE GET FIRED... AND TO REALLY SLAP YOU IN THE FACE MERRIL...AS STEVIE WOULD SAY "WHY SO SERIOUS?!!"

[dopeshot16]

this guy is a fucking fag!!!! never hate on stevie again biiitttchh!

[jxstylezx45]

Merril is a womans name! Get a real name grandma!

[jxstylezx45]

Wow! With all the money this guy is making as a comentator you would think he would pay for the surgery to remove the stick thats clearly embedded up his ass! Why so serious?

[woahineedhelp]

@jxstylezx45 Why so serious? How about them Bills. What happened after the Giants game. The bills got like two more wins. Take a Victor Cruz for example. He is basically a rookie. Got cut last year never played. When the Giants were getting an ass whooping from the Saints(I am a die hard giants fan), when Cruz scored he didn't celebrate like an asshole. He had the decency to just hand the ball to the ref.

[Bufws1824]

@woahineedhelp doesnt cruz have his little salsa dance? you make no sense

[jxstylezx45]

@Bufws1824 people need to stop "drunk commenting" on Youtube. Forreal. LOL

[jxstylezx45]

@woahineedhelp Please dont mistake my comment and make me a BILLS fan...and my whole point is that other a'hole is gettin paid a good amount of money to waist time and rant about non serious issues in the NFL. Such a waste of time. I personally have no problem with millionaires dancing around like 2nd graders on the field. Its part of the fun watching the game. : ) 

[VinnieTwo3]

@92yankeesfan do you really watch football for td celebrations? The game is not this big because of guys like Stevie! Haha shows how much you people know I'd cut his ass too! The patriots, packers, and the saints don't have guys like that who are elite teams.

[92yankeesfan]

shut up merrill hoge. Johnson makes the game more entertaining and is bringing more money into the system and keeps people watching. It makes the NFL fun. IF NFL was all serious and "professional" it would have less fans and earn less money. the NFL is a BUSINESS, so the NFL should be thanking Johnson. Merrill Hodge should qui his job at ESPN and get a normal name. Fucking "MERILL" (isn't that the name of a Pokemon?)

[thisiscommentary]

A professional? What is professional about wanting to cut a player for havin fun after scoring a TD? You know Merrill Hoge, I don't find your commentary very PROFESSIONAL, and if I was your boss I'd fire you today. ESPN has no room for haters

[ldillon33]

Really Merrill Hoge? Cut him?

[Theoneandonlyozeir]

Tell this guy Hogmqn ta shut his mouth Stevie Johnson knew this shit was gonna happen he took the risk but he did it for his fans to give us something to talk about to see not to get the guy to lose his fucking job and that's why this shit on works for espn and ain't a coach for the NFL.... Real talk

[sublethalpuppet]

Well Merril Hoge and Roger Goodel the NFL is ENTERTAINMENT, and as a fan I was entertained by Stevie's TD dance. The primary purpose of the NFL is to entertain the fans, so why take that entertainment away? Stop with the fines and stop criticizing these guys let them have some fun.

[DynamicMotionsHD]

@sublethalpuppet AND IT'S ALSO A BUSINESS. It's not funny when you make fun of somebody who had a serious injury. Stevie is a clown who drop open passes, the only thing he did was make himself look like an idiot.

[lingsun52]

It was funny. Poor sportsmanship sure, but funny. Not something to get fined over. Not that big a deal.

[arnie91]

That shit was funny!

[t4oombs]

I think you should only cut a guy if he is a cancer in the locker room... Stevie j is well loved by all his team mates and loves being a buffalo bill, Plus he is a good guy.. nothing like a t.o or ocho cinco. just needs to work on his maturity. resign asap

[samirholmes]

And that's y meril hodge is not a coach

[langer9919]

A professional? Were talkin about professionals? Professionals?

[bigsjo66]

Looks like Merril Hoge was on his period and ran out of cranberry juice.

[hubabubamax566]

Talking trash is for people who lose and who suck...johnson fits that perfectly hes so bad hes worse than manningham nice dropped passes bro

[goMETS26]

@hubabubamax566 so i guess terrell owens sucked too? randy moss? wow ur an idiot

[dukenthaylor]

@hubabubamax566 Man, we're only talking about NFL Football, here! EVERYBODY talks trash! Teasing those that lose is SUPPOSED to be FUN, and NOT that serious at all! THAT'S why Johnson APOLOGIZED! See him ham it up today after he scored, but humbly hand the ball to the ref? Anyone in their RIGHT mind (even REFS) can TAKE a little GOOD-NATURED RIBBING like that! Anyone who can't..may as well give up football for bird-watching, knitting, stamp-collecting or a competitive desk sport!

[prg415]

Merril Hoge please get off your high horse, your an over reacting drama queen. Give me a break.

[VonBurgundy92]

I'd never thought I'd see the day where you can't celebrate after you score. Now you can't make fun of the other team or talk trash? Every time something exciting in sports happens, the media and ESPN blow it entirely out of proportion. Let them play. That was the most fun I had watching football in a long time.

[dukenthaylor]

@VonBurgundy92 That's the part that I hate! True, I don't like it when a TD celebration costs a team valuable yards or points!

But how can these so-called analysts slam players for having a little INNOCENT fun...when sign-wielding fans in the stands (and, ironically, even some of the so-called analysts themselves) are WAAAY more HOSTILE in carrying out THEIR SICK ideas of fun, which usually end up being scolding players for the smallest, good-natured acts of flamboyant fun?

[tdeloatch7]

How about having a pointless game with no defense so the best players can score and have any celebration they want with no repercussions. Oh wait... the Pro Bowl

[realdeal189]

Celebration should be part of the game.

[ninjadude477]

@realdeal189 But not in a game like this... especially since Plaxico Burress is on the jets...

[staplerman3]

I agree that there should be a level of fun that goes along with football because at the end of the day it is still a game. However, there is something to be said about acting like you have been there before. If you don't draw the line somewhere then we are going to see football turn into some touchdown dance competition.

[JackW1206]

I will help pay for this fine. Guys like Stevie bring life to the game. Stevie's not the idiot who brought a gun to a club. If that's not something that deserves mocking, I don't know what does. Besides, Plax didn't even care. Stevie's a good kid, he didn't mean any harm. He even said he was hoping that if Plax got in the endzone, he would do something to make fun of him back, he wanted to start a little rivalry, that's it. This was hilarious+no harm intended, everyone needs to shut up about it.

[SleepingAtTheMovies]

@JackW1206 Couldn't have said it better. As fans (who pay for their salaries) we like to see the dances here and there because it lightens the mood. Nobody wants to see this strict no hits on the QB and no celebrations league. It's flat out boring.

[RoCx585]

stop blowin it out of proportion u pussy. no one wants to watch a bunch of uncle toms, this is the shit people like to see every once in a while for excitement. suck it up merill

[Hokieman101]

fuck espn have fun doing what you do, its boring to see the players score a big td and just walk off the field doing nothing, these people on espn are acting like he did a wrong thing for enjoying what he does

[KMoney4680]

No

Fun

League

[jono18287]

He sells tickets.. That's what it all comes down to. He's not getting cut. Sally needs to get his purse out from under the desk and go home.

[MoSxyxnr24]

calm down dude, he was having fun, ppl nowadays are just too sensitive ...
