Finley Now Trolling Fans For Good Cause

[pbmax]

Some people just insist on being sideways in the lineup of life.

Kareem Copeland ‏@kareemcopeland 35m
RT @JermichaelF88: I'll b donating $500 for every dropped pass this season 2 One Fund Boston. Now fans can cheer & boo me @ the same time!

[sharpe1027]

I wonder how they will determine when a pass is dropped. Does the NFL officially keeps stats on dropped passes?

[red]

lol

at least he's being a good sport about it

[denverYooper]

That's pretty cool. And likely a good move to take some of the stress off.

Kareem Copeland's retweet cutoff a second part of the pledge. Also donating for TDs caught.


Jermichael Finley ‏@JermichaelF88 1h

I don't know if the NFL does, but other people do.

The list confirms my opinion that dropped passes are one of the most meaningless of stats. Look at the players on that list. Almost all are among the NFL's top receivers. Receivers who get thrown to a lot are more inclined to have dropped passes. Guys who can't get open don't show up on the list.

By the way, how many of the people who were screaming at Finley for dropped passes were also screaming at Randall Cobb?

yup. should only cost him 10-16 thousand total. hey...that would make a good poll or contest..."how much will jfinley donate for drops/tds this year?"

Sure, but without an official source, the different sites might have different numbers...or will it be up to Finley to decide...;)

Certainly, I think a more relevant stat is drops as percentage of catches or targets.

I screamed at all players whenever they dropped an easy pass, and then I cheered for them on the next play when they made a catch...:)

[smuggler]

Yeah, he'll probably go by the Packer film review.

Well, it's a nice gesture, but what a goofy thing to do. If we follow his logic, maybe other players will start donating for every missed tackle, every penalty they commit, every DUI they get, every interception they throw, and maybe - if they're really good - they'll donate if their pad level sucks or their knee bend isn't deep enough.

Goofy and maybe a little self-indulgent. Most people who give to charitable causes just send a check or make a payment online and don't try to draw attention to themselves.

I like it.

We could eradicate cancer in this country if Ben Roethlisberger would donate to charity every time he sexually assaults a woman.

Maybe, but its pretty common these days (pay for performance charity not self-indulgence). I think Amendola also announced something like this. I am sure more people do it quietly.

He might just be trying to improve his public image with fans.

[MadtownPacker]

Maybe that's why he got the $$$ from TT. Part of the deal is that he has to pay for his drops. :lol:

You're on fire, today. :clap:

Self-indulgent and cheap.

Big fricken' deal. He makes over $ 8 Million $ and he may play so fricken' bad that he'll donate the huge sum of $5 K$ to some needy charity.

Rah! Rah !! Rah !! Jermichael. Your da man !!

Damn it's really hard NOT to get sarcastic some times. This small 'd' dickhead needs 24 hour supervision. He's a tad more than merely 'Goofey'... he'a a write off.

He must be a blast to hang out with. Just don't expect him to pay the bill...buy any drinks.
