that’s not the simpleton part....the writer is complaining that somehow Lamar Jackson is an attention whore for not receiving PRE-SEASON accolades...no awards are given to anyone for being named to a pre-season All America team or being ranked #1 in the polls...in fact it could be an albatross if you don’t live up to expectations...
If anyone watched and listened to Jackson’s Heisman acceptance speech last year you will know it was a complete embarrassment. He would utter a mumbling sentence and then say, This is crazy man... This went on for 2 minutes or more. Did he ever attend class. With Petrino running that program, it is doubtful.
