The Internets: Did you see Brandon Lloyd flop?
Posted on September 30th, 2008 – 11:08 AMBy Michael Rand
It’s been about 36 hours, and we still can’t get over the strange sight of Brandon Lloyd on Sunday Night Football. Sure, it’s weird to see such an underachiever playing well for a team with chronically bad WRs, but that’s not the really weird part. Did anyone else see Lloyd make a catch, get up like he was seemingly fine, then start limping and then, since he wasn’t getting the attention he thought he deserved, fall to the ground like he was taken out by sniper fire? Somewhere video of this must exist. Jama? Did you TiVo the game? We really want to see this again because we laughed for about a minute when it happened (he got up about two seconds after going down, too). Of course, the strangest part is that, as Kevin Seifert notes, it was announced that Lloyd was out with a knee injury. That picture you see is from Sunday’s game (Getty Images). Um, that doesn’t look like his knee. What the heck is going on?

*Buoyed by her career with RandBall, Lisa Guerrero is now blogging for the LA Times. And she has some definite opinions about Patriots fans.
*This evisceration of Jon Heyman as it relates to VORP is vintage FJM, even if it is only a few days old.
