    Stevie Johnson feels for Boston

    Johnson: Foxborough bomb tweet 'ironic'
    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9185481/stevie-johnson-buffalo-bills-foxborough-bomb-tweet-ironic
    The attack on the Boston Marathon has brought back into focus a tweet made by Stevie Johnson earlier this month in which he asked North Korea to bomb Foxborough, Mass., the home city of the New England Patriots.


    "It's ironic, nothing to be played with at all," Johnson told the newspaper. "I mean, that's pretty much it. There's really nothing to be played with, at the end of the day, with seeing what happened. I feel like how everybody else in America feels.

    No Twitter, no games, no jokes, none of that. But at the end of the day, I feel just how everybody else felt when they see those bombs go off."

    I would have rather him stood by his joke.

        I was hoping he didn't tweet "I said Foxboro, not the Marathon!"

          He did, in a sense.
          On Wednesday, Johnson defended the tweet as a joke, as he also did in responses to his Twitter followers immediately after posting the message.
          "The only gut reaction was hearing people was injured and people died," Johnson told the Buffalo News. "The only thing about Twitter was how ironic it is. That's a tough one. That's a tough one to deal with."
          He hasn't apologized for it that I've seen, which is fine because he has nothing to apologize for.

            At least he handled this part right. If he would've just kept he head shut to begin with he wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Hopefully he learned something.
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
            It was all             true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can             mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                I didn't expect him to apologize, but I expect that he uses this as a learning experience to become more of a professional.

                  I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.

                    What is the lesson you think he should learn?
