Chris Johnson Promises Cars For OL If He Hits 2,000 Yards

Titans running back Chris Johnson has plenty of incentive to get to 2,000 rushing yards. Only five NFL players have done it. Johnson, named AFC Offensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, said he thinks his offensive linemen want the milestone even more. “It’s a goal of mine,†he said. “It’s really a goal of the offensive linemen because I told them if I get to 2,000 yards I’d buy them all a car. They want me to get 2,000 yards more than I want to get it.’’

Now that's taking care of your O line.

:icon_cool:

 

I remember Edge did crap like this for the Colts lineman

 

What kind of cars are we talking about here?

 

Usually it is a diamond studded rolex, but with the acceleration of the salary cap I guess we have graduated to automobiles. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

Hey ya take care of the guys that take care of you.

 

Good stuff.

 

What if he doesn't get to 2,000... What will the OLs have? A bike? :redface:

 

I think it's cool, but it's also kind of frightening how far this has come.

When I want to do something nice for my co-workers to say thanks I buy them BEERS, or maybe dinner if it's a smaller group and it was a major deal.

Can you imagine having the jack to buy them CARS?

That's just crazy.

 

yup i would say so

 

beast by him, buy me a car??

 

How funny would it be if he bought them all Smart Cars?

 

I agree 100%, it wasn't until not long ago that it clicked for me how ludicrous athlete salaries are getting - dude's who play games professionally should not make more than pediatricians IMO.
