LeSean McCoy Is Gleefully Boasting About Chip Kelly's Demise
Shady didn’t exactly take it well well when he was traded away for Kiko Alonso, his flowing locks and his buff midriff, and by not taking it well, he basically called Chip Kelly a racist, saying he didn’t respect stars and “there’s a reason he got rid of all the black players — the good ones.” He was less than thrilled.
Now, a couple of years later, Shady is pretty much still Shady and Chip Kelly has been fired twice. Will LeSean take the high road? Shady was on the NFL Network this morning and missed the high road’s entrance ramp and drove right on through to Butthurt Blvd. on his Bitter Bus, with only a quick detour to push someone off:
“(When) we played them in Philly (in 2015) I was kind of still banged up. I couldn’t give him my full potential that game. So, I made sure this last one we played them [vs. Chip in San Francisco], I gave them the real Shady. The one he remembers playing with…
I was honest,” McCoy said. “But you know what? I kind of noticed that after the fact when he had that team (in Philadelphia) go down and they fired him and (he) went to San Fran and the same thing happened over there, then it’s like, ‘OK, maybe LeSean McCoy was right.’ But it took forever, right? So I took a year or two just to get the heat and the backlash. But I’m an honest person.”
In all of McCoy’s time in the limelight – bar fights, tipping problems, party buses, and more – no one ever accused him of not being honest. So he’s got that going for him. I hate to admit he’s right here, but the fact is the McCoy/Alonso trade was one of the moves that telegraphed Chip’s inability to construct a roster. McCoy may be a dick. He may be self-centered. He may have little to no self-awareness. But he’s right. Dammit.
