The Predator. Matthews or Abraham? - Jonesy - 12-12-2011 02:56 PM

Yesterday, ESPN NFL Sunday Countdown had a segment about Clay Matthews and his new nickname. Matthews apparently is now known as The Predator because of the celebration move he has that mimics The Predator from the originial movie when he and Arnold square off near the end. No one made any mention of our Predator, John Abraham, which got me wondering a few things...

1) Can two NFL stars share the same nickname? It seems kind of strange.

2) Has everyone else just forgotten about John Abraham? Is he still a star? Is he just being pushed aside by the personalities at ESPN?

3) Should I be as irritated by the whole thing as I am? The way I see it, it's just another slight to the Falcons as a whole and more drooling over the Packers. Yeah, the Packers have been playing out of this world, just ask the Raiders, but I'm getting kind of tired of a lot of the media forgetting that football existed prior to Rodgers and Matthews.

I'm as impressed by Rodgers and Matthews as the next guy, but stuff like this is irritating seems kind of disrespectful to guys like Abraham. What say you?

I could see Clay Matthews on "To Catch a Predator", but he's no John Abraham. He should just call himself Thor.

It's a little disturbing but I can deal just because of Matthews production. But call me if Matt Flynn starts getting called "Matty Ice" then....heads will roll. Cool

If anyone looks like the Predator it's Julio Jones.

Lmao I stand corrected! Plus when he has a game like he did against Houston (hopefully never) we can call him the sphinxter.

I guess you guys are right. The answer to the question in the subject is neither...It's Julio...
