The Detroit Lions Troll Stephen A. Smith After Ripping Matthew Stafford And His Record-Setting Contract

 

When news hit that the Detroit Lions were making Matt Stafford the highest paid player in NFL history with a cartoonish $130 million, five-year contract, many of us were left scratching our heads. Stafford is a competent quarterback for sure, but the dude has a grand total of zero playoff wins in his career. And if your argument is “Well they haven’t armed him with a solid supporting cast!” they sure as hell won’t be able to now with Stafford chewing up over 15% of the team’s salary cap.

But, the 29-year-old Georgia alum made Lions’ fans momentarily forget that they are handcuffed to five years of mediocrity after throwing for four touchdowns and 292 yards en route to a 35-23 win against the Cardinals.

Before the game, the perpetually incorrect blowhard Stephen A. Smith tweeted the following.

The Lions social media account decided to chirp Smith for ripping a quarterback they’re putting their entire franchise on the shoulders of.

Chill, Detroit. Wait and see how he does the next 79 games before you start dancing before the end zone.
