He should have just stopped his rant after about the 5th line and then there would have been no issues. Some athletes are just so stupid.
Watkins later deleted his comment, which was a pretty empty gesture given the lifespan of things posted on the internet. He doubled back on Wednesday to post an apology for his “inappropriate” comments and that he criticism is “part of the game.” Watkins also said that he’s frustrated about being injured because he wants to “help the team and win for the city of Buffalo and for my teammates.”

ST FU and do something on the field. I really hate owning him.

Well, at least he wished everyone a blessed day.

People talk #### to him, suddenly he's the bad guy for talking #### back. Dude's got feelings. NBD.
Internet guys judge behind their cloaks. Anonymity is too easy.

Don't think that's the point. He's a professional, deal with it. People have been called worse or have been spoken to worse and deal with it as they should. He should know what business he's in.

did none of you realize... SWC = Sammy Watkins!

As a football player, Sammy just has to deal with insensitive, insulting fans, as in an uncontrollable force of nature, is that your argument?
At least athletes are highly compensated, enough for dealing with #### stick fans.

He needs to grow up, and learn to be a professional on and off the field. If fan talk bothers him he has no chance at a long term career as a professional athlete.
His career is off to a very rocky start. Adversity tests your will and your mettle. You either keep working hard climbing the everlasting mountain or you tumble and fail.
Grow up Sammy or your career will end soon and you will be a regular Joe like most of the country. Very immature to post by him. Just plain dumb.

I always just assumed Sammy's native language was English, but not I'm not so sure.

I'll bet the ability to consistently beat man coverage (or tackle the ball-carrier, make three-pointers, etc.) has something to do with it.

Actually, it could be that Sammy Watkins is a modern-day genius in the mold of William Faulkner or James Joyce, whose artistic vision can't be constrained by your pedestrian rules of grammar and punctuation.
Or it could be the football thing. We'll probably never know.

So found this interesting:
Last year, in 206 attempts vs man coverage, Sammy graded as "open" 49.5% of the time. That's not good. For comparison, Landry is 62% on 99 attempts, OBJ 80% on 166, A-Rob 71% on 113, Crabtree 70% on 140, Antonio Brown 79% on 187.
Only Justin Hunter, Marqise Lee, & Davante Adams had worse SRVC scores against Man Coverage last year than Sammy Watkins Don't shoot the messenger; just wanted to share it

Whoever holds a degree from Clemson must have cringed reading that tweet. What a dope.

This is the kind of unique, insightful information I wish there was more of here. Thanks!
ETA - Just for clarification, If I'm understanding this data in the link correctly, this data looked at 27 WR's...not all NFL receivers. Just wanted to point that out as it is inferred from the above that Watkins, Hunter, Lee, and Adams are the worst in the league. They're just the worst of the 27 shown...

Yea I am trying to find the whole list but can't. Here's another article on Sammy with that same insightful information if you want to read it.

View this message as talk to text type thing and the language isn't so bad. It's pretty obvious to me he said "everyone wants" in a talk to text app and it came through as "everyone once." His true crime here is proofreading.

Well, that and being a doosh that looks down on little people.I really don't care, though. I don't have to like him. He's not my friend or neighbor. Just play football. They guy needs to get on the field and off the social media.

Picked this guy off the FA scrap heap. Good lottery ticket.

People on this forum get so butt-hurt when a guy they invest in gets injured, it skews their whole perception. A lot of you are going to feel like dummies if you give up on Watkins because he's got some injuries in his second year, he's a stud in the making. Talking about his dynasty value or rankings changing after half a season because of some injuries, please.

That's because I sat him for Moncrief. Since he's on my bench, he should make it through the game fully healthy.

So many people get so invested and get upset when a guy gets hurt etc.
Watching this game today is just another example of how good Watkins is. THis is not new to anyone that actually watches him play. He is always open he just needs to get the targets and he also needs to stay healthy.
