Tennessee Titans back Chris Johnson really needs the rock under his right arm, a fullback and some fools to smoke. But until that happens, he’s content to just hold court. This time he got his rap on with Yahoo columnist and JRIB’er Mike Silver and he just raised the bar that much higher. A 2500 yard season? He’s standing by it. People wanting to race him? He says everyone talks big but no one shows up.

And best of all, my man went Gordon Gekko. “Most people say, ‘are you hungry still? I’m not hungry anymore-I’m greedy. I graduated from hungry to greedy, and all I want is more.” In other words… greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Chris Johnson is Gordon Gekko. Well, if Gordon Gekko ran a 4.1 40, wore cleats instead of wingtips, rocked dreads instead of the 80s Pat Riley slickback and rolled in a donk instead of a limo. And CJ is going after 2500 yards like Gekko went after Anacott Steel. That’s the thing, no one honks this guy harder than I do and I’d buy 10,000 shares in C.J, right now if I could. But to quote Gekko himself, “I'm not walking around blind without a cane either.” He’s fast. Really fast. But I’m not sure he’s fast enough to cash some of the checks he’s been writing this offseason. Gekko, was all smooth on the beach, with that giant white portable phone, running around with Darien on the side, thinking he had it all under control too. And look what happened to him. Money never sleeps. But neither do defensive coordinators, Dwight Freeney or Mario Williams. And no one’s running for 2500 yards.
