Ashley Lelie was pretty much the definition of "in with a bang, out with a whimper" as a Bronco (just like me during the sexing of ladies), and after flaming out with both Denver and Atlanta, he's found some other (sucker) team to pay him to do what he's doing over there at left, namely watch footballs fall to the ground in front of him with alarming frequency, and then looking up at the referee hoping for a flag like a little puppy dog asking forgiveness for shitting on the rug. I'd like to draw your attention to some of his quotes:
"It's definitely a great organization. I get to try to fill the shoes of one of my favorite players of all time, Jerry Rice."
Ashley- I wouldn't trust you to shine Jerry Rice's shoes. You'd probably drop them and potentially damage those shoes, and he's going to need them for the dancing (note- I'm not quite sure how one would damage shoes by dropping them either. Maybe if you dropped them into acid or lava or something. Just go with it).
"In the past in my career, I didn't really play well consistently," Lelie said.
"That was probably just a lack of being in the right offense and getting thrown
the ball consistently. I think 49ers fans will see the best of me."
You were thrown the ball plenty. Your reaction was to slap at it like a little girl who saw a spider. And I'm positive the 49er fans will see the best of you. Just don't be surprised when, after seeing the best of you, they boo you back to the stone age.
"You can tell they're eager to make their team better, eager to get the
organization back moving in the right direction," Lelie said. "After picking
me up, you can tell they want to win."
Yes, the key to every winning organization is a receiver who can't catch, can't run any route that isn't straight down the field, can't block, and is apparently batshit crazy for comparing himself to Jerry Rice and implying that he's the key to winning.
