JJIII trolled the Saints because he didn’t like how New Orleans taunted the Eagles

Rams safety John Johnson came up with one of the biggest plays in the 2019 NFC Championship Game when he picked off Drew Brees in overtime. He then celebrated that ginormous play by mocking the Saints’ “Choppa Style” celebration.

As it turns out, Johnson said he was inspired to troll New Orleans because of how the Saints previously mocked the Eagles.

To be clear, the Saints didn’t mock the Eagles’ dog masks as much as they mocked the ski mask gimmick. It’s very clear the Saints do not like the Eagles, as I wrote about last week:

For whatever reason, the Saints clearly have some issues with the Eagles. After New Orleans won their 2014 playoff game in Philadelphia, Payton had the Saints’ team bus do victory laps around Lincoln Financial Field. During the 2018 offseason, Alvin Kamara said the Saints would have “beat the shit out of” the Eagles had they not lost to the Vikings. During the 2018 regular season, Kamara and Mark Ingram mocked the Eagles’ ski mask gimmick and referred to the Eagles as “fraudulents.” After the Eagles lost in New Orleans on Sunday, Saints players mocked the ski mask gimmick once again and also celebrated with “Dreams and Nightmares” (the Eagles’ Super Bowl anthem) blasting from speakers in the locker room.

Johnson didn’t specify who he’s friendly with on the Eagles but Daniel Gallen noted he’s from the same county as some of Philadelphia’s defensive backs:

If you needed more reason to root against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, here you go. Very nice of Johnson to do the Eagles a solid.

Is it possible there is a bigger prick in the NFL than Payton? I seriously doubt it. Even Arians is beginning to look like a pretty grounded dude compared to Payton.

Update: I just went an looked up information about the 2014 game on Pro Football Reference ... scroll down and check out who the head referee is for that one.

Nope and he's always been a smug fuckwad. Dude emanates esprit de douche.

Looks like teams are being divided in the NFC. It's like a Civil War:

Team Ram: Falcons, Panthers, Eagles, Vikings

Team Aint: shitbirds, forty shitters, Cardinals,

This is the song I thought of when I saw JJ jump and do that Choppa dance (I had no previous knowledge of the dance).

Oh and I dig that chopper dance. JJ needs to keep that one goin.

 

[Angry Ram]

Todd McClure agrees.

Wow, what an amazingly immature thing to do.

I didn't know fraudulent could be pluralized.

 

[Ewe83]

Wow the Saints are trash, I had no idea just how trash that team was, I'm liking this win more and more with each passing minute

 

[shovelpass]

Good on Johnson, fuck the Saints, and fuck Payton. Though I was confused because I thought that the dance was a Broncos thing, though I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints stole it.

 

[Stl2La]

John Johnson is so damn good. I predict he is talked about as a top 5 safety after next season!

 

[rams1fan]

Good for JJ. Rams rarely celebrate ( or at least pretty low key) and I wondered about this incident when it happened. Makes sense now. Add to that the Michael Thomas cell phone celebration in the regular season game. And to know the head coach partakes in it makes the Saints even more easy to hate.

 

[Classic Rams]

Anytime you troll the Saints is the right time!

 

[Classic Rams]

Smug? Hmmm... I don't see it...

 

[Ram77]

Look at what the first ad was on the Saints message board lol

 

[rams1fan]

Saints fans act like they are the first team to have a bad call go against them. I seriously have never seen such whining.

To be fair, when Seattle and SF were in their most recent SB's I was rooting for the other team** (** Except the Seattle v Pats SB - Was hoping for multiple injuries and suspensions)

I was all in on the Patriots that year. I wanted a true shitbird beatdown; didn't happen, but whatever.

 

[rams1fan]

I always root for the NFC unless that team is the 49ers.
