Derek Anderson, in Pink Polo, Somehow Not Amused
All, Goooooood Morning Sports Hernia, Mental Illness, NFL, Video November 30th. 2010, 7:45am
Derek Anderson flipped out on Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic in the post-game press conference after the MNF game you didn’t watch. Towards the end of the 26-7 drubbing at the hands of the Niners, the even-keeled “quarterback” was spotted smiling – possibly laughing! – on the bench alongside affable lineman Deuce Lutui shortly after another fruitful three-and-out. When Somers asked what was so damn funny, Anderson reacted with more swagger than Joe Pesci. If the Cards were smart, they’d force Anderson to shave “INT” into his beard as punishment.

Love the question. Nothing pisses me off more than watching someone on my team yucking it up when losing. At least pretend to care as much as I do.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:09 AM
really happy things are going so well for this douche
November 30th, 2010 at 8:10 AM
Ha! Agreed CJ.
His reaction was a bit over the top, no?
Wow CJ–women on the scene first this morning. We rock!
November 30th, 2010 at 8:10 AM
This is deja vu all over again!
He used to smirk all the time in Cleveland after throwing a pick and fans hated him for it.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:10 AM
Ok, mmonast here too. That’s cool.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:11 AM

fuck that. that’s a man’s beard right there. that thing is bad fucking ass.
/no homo
November 30th, 2010 at 8:18 AM
Classic over-the-top reporter soap-opera drama. To say a player can’t smile about something even in the worst of circumstances and still be taking those circumstances seriously is ridiculous. Sometimes that just has to happen. Who hasn’t cracked a smile when someone said, “And we didn’t think it could get worse than this!” To think that means a player is not taking the whole game seriously is myopic, unrealistic and overly dramatic. The incessant questioning was absurd. And, the fact is, sometimes a player has to have a lighthearted moment to perform their best – even if that’s not very good relative to the competition.
Btw, I’ve seen Desmond Tutu crack a joke & smile even in the midst of talking about his persecution and imprisonment for protesting against apartheid. There were even times he laughed while in prison. Wonder if Kent Somers is going to tell him he can’t do that? That’s only, oh, about an infinite amount more significant than a football game.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:19 AM
Yeah, the guys playing don’t care as much as you do…it’s only their livelihood at stake.
/please
November 30th, 2010 at 8:22 AM
I know I often am in a great mood and laughing after my team turns it over and is getting blown out
Livelihood? They get paid whether they win or lose, it’s just a job to many of them.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:22 AM
Yeah, the guys playing don’t care as much as you do…it’s only their livelihood at stake.
they don’t get paid if they lose? If Derek Anderson or Deuce Lutui get waived today, they still get their full salary for this season. So it’s not their livelihood, exactly, not in the any real immediate sense.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
I know I often am in a great mood and laughing after my team turns it over and is getting blown out
in this case I would really chalk it up to somebody’s macabre sense of humor. Like laughing at your mother’s funeral because it’s easier than throwing stuff. I’m sure Derek Anderson knows he’s had more chances than he deserves to start at QB, and Deuce Lutui has already been demoted once on the Cardinals, so it’s not like he’s got a steady job lined up for next year.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
livelihood? I thought they played for the love of the game and for free. fuck these guys.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:27 AM
i’d play for free.
/do I get full benefits?
November 30th, 2010 at 8:29 AM
baby mommas and child support payments? yeah, you’d get that.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:29 AM
what would be funny is if Derek Anderson (to show how much he cared) ran out onto the field, grabbed the ball and wouldn’t let it go and just kept screaming DO OVER, DO OVER! Rather than sit on the sidelines and try to compose himself after the INT. Just make a fool out of himself trying to show the few remaining cardinal fans that he really does want their love and respect.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:30 AM
how delayed are we talking here? 9:00? 9:30!?
November 30th, 2010 at 8:30 AM
you need to get ass raped
stay classy, who ever you are.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:31 AM
I can’t believe Savage signed this guy to 3 years $24MM with $13 guaranteed — he should be getting questioned today by reports for THAT!
November 30th, 2010 at 8:33 AM
cool. i like spreading my seed.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
Yeah I would prefer he curl up into the fetal position sucking his thumb and silently sobbing.
/where are we going with this?
November 30th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
i like spreading my seed.
so, apparently, does this other guy. Although I’m not sure my mom would be down for whatever he’s proposing.

good thing uptown hasn’t sang the praises of Hakeem Nicks. otherwise he’d be banned.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:37 AM
you ever laugh to try and make a bad situation feel a little better? to relieve the pressure?
this is a bigger deal than it should be.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:37 AM
the content of comment 26 immediately following comment 25 is funnah to me.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:39 AM
Even worse, the fact that Savage didn’t flip him to the Vikings for a 1st and a 3rd when he had the chance was a fireable offense alone.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:39 AM
the content of comment 26 immediately following comment 25 is funnah to me.
guess he’s just down to tackle mummies like me
November 30th, 2010 at 8:39 AM
it’s not that we hated him for smirking, it’s that we hated him for throwing into quintuple coverage after staring said quintuple coverage down.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:40 AM
good thing uptown hasn’t sang the praises of Hakeem Nicks. otherwise he’d be banned.
the only bannable offense is disagreeing with TBL.

I am also SMH at the mental illness tag.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:41 AM
well, if Braylon would have caught the ball when he was wide open this problem could have been avoided.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:42 AM
good for Kent Somers. enough of the softball questions
November 30th, 2010 at 8:42 AM
nobody’s ever been banned for one comment. repeated idiocy? yes.
cops are descending upon Orangeburg, NY to get you, uptown.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:43 AM
agreed. stupid michigan players. if the cardinals DL showed us anything last night, it’s that michigan players, no matter how big and talented, are the biggest pussies you’ll ever find in the NFL.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:44 AM
I re
present this!November 30th, 2010 at 8:45 AM
and before you ask, yes, i’ll play judge and jury on ‘repeated idiocy’ until a better system is put in place. have tinkered w/ a few but never settled on one.
in 4+ years, i think there’s been as many permanent bannings as Michael Jordan has NBA titles.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:46 AM
yeah, fuck michigan.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:46 AM
Let’s not throw stones as the Brian Robiskie-era is actually happening right now and its usually filled with drops and terrible routes.
/he did look good this Sunday
November 30th, 2010 at 8:47 AM
Only because of his reaction. Like you said, the guy he was talking with was probably just trying to lighten the mood. This isnt a post without his tirade.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:48 AM
Oh, and also his pink shirt
November 30th, 2010 at 8:49 AM
I’d laugh, that had to be one of the worst MNF games ever.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:50 AM
to be fair, robiskie was a HUGE fucking reach.
/that’s not really being fair
//but seriously, gabe watson could use a membership to curves…those bingo wings were a little slovenly last night
November 30th, 2010 at 8:50 AM

I’m sure it was even worse if you had $$$ on arizona.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:50 AM
TBL ima have your site shut down. real talk.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:51 AM
I vote for a 16-team playoff as the better system. somebody call Wetzel.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:52 AM
I used to despise Aaron Brooks when he’d throw a pick or come back in from a 3-and-out, take his helmet off and be yucking it up on the sidelines. I understood that, to him, it was his job, but this is my team. I’m going to have strong feelings about his shitty performance and nonchalant attitude.
I don’t need the QB throwing shit around and acting a fool. But if you’re having a crummy game (a constant if your name is Derek Anderson) then sit on the sidelines, go over the game photos and try to figure out what the hell you’re doing wrong. Laugh in the locker room.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:53 AM
why not just say that? why flip out and curse & get defensive?
November 30th, 2010 at 8:54 AM
I hate you.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:54 AM
I vote for a 16-team playoff as the better system. somebody call Wetzel.
I would love to see somebody project that shit out today, with Hawaii in and Boise State out, and Fla Int’l and whichever arbitrary 5 teams get picked based on whatever, and UConn.
I just can’t imagine where any playoff looks good this season and is inclusive enough of all the good one loss teams.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:54 AM
At least he wasn’t eating a hot dog.
/Please don’t ban me.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:54 AM
because DA was probably pissed at the entire stadium booing him every time he stepped on the field.
seriously…those cards fans gave him worse than we ever did during his time in cleveland. that was BRUTAL.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
All the photos in the world couldn’t stop Anderson from launching 400mph balls into the middle of a defense.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
why not just say that? why flip out and curse & get defensive?
My guess? Because he was joking about how much they suck, and how stupid the offensive coordinator is. And probably what a washed up piece of trash Alan Faneca is, and how the guy they cut at guard starts for the Eagles, and how Russ Grimm wont’ shut the fuck up about the Hall of Fame and how Faneca is going to be joining him there.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
that had to be one of the worst MNF games ever.
Seems like most of the MNF games this season have been less than stellar (with one or 2 exceptions). Next week’s Jets-Pats game is the first one in a while that feels like it should be on primetime.
Maybe the NFL should schedule the teams they believe might be up-and-comers early in the season and leave the traditional big rivalry games for the end. Find a way to avoid football fans from going “MNF or show tunes?”
November 30th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
This made me gag with laughter
November 30th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
so is the guy who intends to rape my mother banned, or just shut down for the day? Because he’s a Jets fan.
November 30th, 2010 at 8:59 AM
Maybe the NFL should schedule the teams they believe might be up-and-comers early in the season and leave the traditional big rivalry games for the end. Find a way to avoid football fans from going “MNF or show tunes?”
I think it’s pretty obvious that ESPN doesn’t have first choice on games. They end up with a few good ones early, because any game is good early. Late in the season, they almost always have divisional games. That seems to be how their deal is contracted. So they get some really bad ones and some really good ones.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
What’s this about?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Is Dirt’s two week run in the Irish Pick ‘Em League going to get a post today? He’s closing like Zenyatta
November 30th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Something tells me he’s not quite smart enough to put that into words.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:07 AM

I took a bath on Saturday evening, too. Lost more than 40 on the night games. And I nearly gave the whole stack away on Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
thought we cheered when he got hurt
November 30th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
some comments were deleted. basically, commenter uptownmindset said he would cum in dirtheavy’s mom.
then, sparty made reference to sparty justice.
or something like that.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:13 AM
we cheered for brady quinn coming in, not DA getting hurt.
/just as bad
November 30th, 2010 at 9:14 AM

and fire whizzenhunt for going with the dynamic duo of DA and Max Hall over lienart.
November 30th, 2010 at 9:14 AM
And yet no one is asking why this guy was smiling late in the game
(I’m assuming he’s not actually retarded and thus making this a tasteless comment)

Agressive. When was this?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:16 AM

Didn’t uptownmindset also one time say he was going to kill himself?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Why does it matter if he is laughing? I’d wager a guess Lutui farted, he seems like a farter. Why keep asking the same question over and over?
November 30th, 2010 at 9:17 AM

Gholston is a pussy? How? I know he is a bust, but didnt know he was a pussy
November 30th, 2010 at 9:53 AM
This is why fans suck. You really think you care as much as the players? Delusional fans are fucking crazy. Seriously, get over it. You ever laugh at your job when things are going bad? If so, stop it. Your shareholders would like you to care as much as them.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Time and place, time and place.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:22 AM
I wouldn’t say “fucking crazy” as much as “a bit too vicariously invested sometimes”.
It’s definitely irrational from an analytical remove but makes more sense as a matter of practical dynamics. If players are marketed as character sprites and people are used to thinking of them as character sprites, some skewing of emotional perspective is to be expected.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:23 AM
The question was fine … the response was perfect. Who among us hasn’t smirked after a three-putt? Here’s what I think the lineman said – “It could be worse, we could be on MNF?” Anderson, smiled, and said in jest, Thanks a lot asshole.” It happens. It’s gallows humor. It’s not like they were wearing party hats and making balloon animals. I’m sure the same kind of smiles are seen around the Arizona Republic newsroom when the latest circulation slide numbers come out. What are you smiling about,Somers. What a dick!
November 30th, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Probably not in the middle of a company meeting in which we are telling our shareholders how much we have struggled this year.
This.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:31 AM
It’s funny how involved fans think they are.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:40 AM
I don’t agree with that analogy. Athletes are different from businesspeople. They’re basically paid to respond aggressively, and not necessarily as calm intellectuals, when challenged. If they didn’t have that streak in them, they wouldn’t be worth a damn as players in the first place.
That reaction wasn’t ideal at all, but I can understand it coming from an athlete who feels he’s been unfairly challenged and humiliated on the heels of what was obviously a competitive humiliation on the field, and who hasn’t fully had time for the testosterone of the game to wear off yet.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Dude, -1 reading comprehension for me. I thought you were talking about the rant, not the laughing. My bad.
I still don’t think the analogy holds though. The press conference is more like the shareholder’s meeting. That sideline conversation would be more like what would happen between colleagues at a water cooler immediately after losing the account that caused the bad news reported at the meeting.
November 30th, 2010 at 10:57 AM
Like laughing at your mother’s funeral because it’s easier than throwing stuff
I did that. I must be as heartless as Stalin
November 30th, 2010 at 10:58 AM
whoops!
November 30th, 2010 at 11:01 AM
If they didn’t have that streak in them, they wouldn’t be worth a damn as players in the first place.
Derek Anderson. Worth a damn.
November 30th, 2010 at 11:04 AM
In relative terms, yeah. Worth enough of a damn in that context to get a rich old motherfucker to pay him to be on an NFL roster, at least.
