Bennett’s latest Thursday media session included lengthy odes to two things that have nothing to do with football: gold and bacon. “I like gold,” Bennett said. “I tried to get paid in gold one year, but they told me, ‘No.’ I’ll take a check, too, though. As long as it cashes. I don’t want no checks that bounce. All money’s good money.” That response came after Bennett said he tries to “strike gold” whenever he’s out on the field. And if he doesn’t find it? “I just take
Martellus Bennett Takes Hilarious Shot At NFL With Perfect MySpace Comparison
Share this: Nailed it. New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett articulated how we’ve all been feeling about the NFL this season with one simple tweet in the wee hours of Monday morning following the Green Bay Packers’ come-from-behind 27-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” Its a great product. The game of football that is. But myspace was once a great social media platform. Hahaha. — Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) November 29, 2016 The NFL, of course, has dealt with one of their worst ratings dips in recent memory, and have for the most part averaged fewer viewers than at any point during the past five seasons.
