It’s immature, to be sure, but it’s valid.
Nick Wright, a sports journalist and personality for FS1, recently released his rankings of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL (obviously, you can’t get enough of that during the offseason), and the list was surprising: 1. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs); Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), 3rd place. Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals), 4th place. CJ Stroud (Houston Texans) and 5. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) /Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions).
Wright is with the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson Despite winning the MVP last season. The reason for the light is that Jackson has had very little success in the playoffs. I don’t care that there are choke artists, sophomores and rookies on the list, but oh well! (RELATED: Mike McDaniels keeps telling the Dolphins they suck and still wants them to win the playoffs)
“Every year, [Lamar has] “That was our worst game of the playoffs this season,” Wright said.
Well, unsurprisingly, Jackson wasn’t happy with Wright’s ranking and as a result, went into full mean mode. Taking to Twitter, Jackson shared a photo of a monkey, but not just any monkey, but a monkey with a giant nose like Nick Wright’s LOL.
Nick Wright left Lamar Jackson off his top 5 QBs list and criticized his performance in the playoffs…

On paper, this is a very funny story, but if you think about it, Nick Wright must be well aware that he’s had a big nose for nearly 40 years, and this isn’t the first time he’s been teased about it.
So while I find Lamar’s jab hilarious, I don’t think it has much effect against Wright.
But thanks for the laugh, Lamar!
