Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen was furious after an embarrassing loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. Allen made it clear in an expletive-laced tirade to JP Finlay, “I’m f—–g tired of this s–t… It’s been seven f—- years of the same s–t.”
Well, ESPN’s Get UP morning show ran the clip of Allen. Host Mike Greenberg asked former Washington player, now analyst Ryan Clark for his thoughts, and RC flipped Allen’s moment into a laughfest.
“When you walk up to the dude in the locker room, and he got a do-rag on with sunglasses and a chain on with the open chest, you finna get some bleeps. You walk into expletives,” Clark responded jokingly. “This man looks like Sho’Nuff when this started. And he can’t hear your question because he got on Airpods.
“He don’t even know the question. He chose violence. The sheer audacity of the outfit says, ‘I don’t give no F’s.'”
Dan Orlovsky and Rex Ryan couldn’t contain themselves.
“This is the hardest I’ve laughed on the air this year,” Greenberg commented on X.
There will be some who don’t like Ryan Clark mocking Jonathan Allen. The Commanders haven’t won since Allen came to the team in 2017. Washington hasn’t won more than eight games in any season and played in one playoff game since Allen arrived.
Coming from a winning machine in college at Alabama, going to the Commanders is life-altering. Still, Clark lightens up the mood following Allen’s clip.
All joking aside, that’s what the Washington Commanders have a laughing matter. Dan Snyder is no longer the owner, so all the attention is on the on-field product. The product is stale in Ron Rivera’s fourth year as the head coach.
Washington has a 3-4 record. Two of their losses have come against the previously winless Chicago Bears in Week 5 and the woeful Giants, who played without their quarterback Daniel Jones.
The Commanders’ season is at risk of going off the rails. Trade rumors surfaced about two of its premier defensive players, Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Change needs to happen, or there will be more reactions like Allen’s.
