SI<\/a>: New York Jets WR Malachi Corley drops ball before crossing into the end zone, negating touchdown into turnover<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care enough to verify the details, but I\u2019m fairly positive that between the NFL and CFB, this exact scenario has happened at least once every single year for like, the last decade or more, where a player with a guaranteed touchdown, boneheadedly drops the ball before crossing the plane of the endzone, negating six points and instead turning the ball over.<\/span><\/p>\n

It never fails to astound, or fire me up whenever I hear about these instances, because I guess it pushes past my already extremely low standards as far as the intelligence of people are concerned, and I just can\u2019t believe that there are people this dumb, that repeatedly keep squandering their privilege to be playing kids games at the highest levels and getting paid egregious amounts of money to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s never not mindblowing to me, because throughout the history of the sport, all offensive skill players have always been like, GIMME THE BALL, but all of these clowns who have dropped the ball at the one-yard line couldn\u2019t be in any more rush to get rid of the ball in their hands, to the point where they\u2019re making these dumbass drops.<\/span><\/p>\n

I just think about how in Forrest Gump<\/em>, when Forrest was returning kicks for Alabama, his first TD return, he just kept running past the end zone, smashing into the band en route into the locker room tunnel.\u00a0 A little overkill, but a definite example of protecting the ball and securing the score.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever a highlight of dropping the ball at the 1 occurs, I always wonder why players insist on being closer to DeSean Jackson instead of being closer to Forrest Gump.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s really not much more to add to this, aside from the continued disbelief that this somehow manages to happen at the frequency in which it does.\u00a0 And while writing about it, YouTube delivers, as there\u2019s actually a pretty interesting video<\/a> that has chronicled this baffling phenomenon, and there\u2019s a frighteningly more number of instances that have occurred than I was aware of, which doesn\u2019t help the narrative of how bullshit stupid it is.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
