The Buffalo Bills postseason journey once again came to an abrupt end after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round. However, itโs another rival team that Bills star Dion Dawkins really despises.
In an interview with VladTV, Dawkins sounded off on Buffaloโs AFC East foe, the New York Jets. While the Jets beat the Bills 22-16 in Week 1, Buffalo crushed New York 32-6 in Week 11. While the Billsโ three-time Pro Bowler takes particular issue with Jets defensive tackle Michael Clemons, he โhatesโ most of the team.
When asked what particularly bothers him about the Jets, โWeirdos being weird,โ Dawkins said. โI donโt even want to give a man no credit talking about him. But No. 72. Michael Clemons, B**** boy. Uhm. B**** boy. But Iโm going to keep it above, I hate them. All of them, bro.
โWhen it comes to sports, thereโs people that play the sport because they love the sport, and then thereโs people that play the sport just to try to be cool. I feel like they play the sport to try and be cool. Those are a bunch of dudes who just want to take pictures on Instagram. Thatโs whack. I play because I die by it.โ
The Billsโ $58.3 million star did make exceptions for Quinnen Williams, โI respect the dude,โ former head coach Todd Bowles, and defensive assistant Ryan Davis. โThe rest of them? donโt care. Donโt like you.โ
Dawkinsโ comments caused a stir on X, formerly known as Twitter. While some people balked at the trash talk, many people loved it. Jets analyst Will Parkinson was conflicted. He posted, โFWIW him and Micheal Clemons beef is whateverโฆ but pretty wild stuff to say about the rest of those guysโฆ expecting some serious beef going into those matchups next yearโฆ Trash talk is fun honestly, we need more teams who hate each other ๐๐.โ
One Jets fan wrote, โNo problem with Dawkins here. He put his name on it and called out 10 of the 11 #Jets defenders as bitches. Itโs up to them to shut him up or they what he called them. This is how all players should think about opponents. If he was a #Jets OL we would love him.โ
Jets Star Sauce Gardner Strongly Reacted to Dion Dawkinsโ Comments
While fans and analysts had strongly mixed reactions to Dawkinsโ rant, many people couldnโt get over the 320-pound tackle doing the interview with no shirt. Jets star cornerback Ahmad โSauceโ Gardner couldnโt help but laugh at his rival.
Gardner posted, โHe gonโ say we be trynna be cool, but went on Vlad and donโt have a shirt on๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.โ
Jets reporter Thomas Christopher wrote, โHeโs shirtless with the unconnected beard gossiping on VladTV but the Jets are the ones who want to be cool?โ
โJust the Jetsโ podcast host Matt OโLeary suggests the team uses Dawkinsโ comments as bulletin board material. โBest way to shut up Dion Dawkins is to beat em twice,โ OโLeary posted.
Dion Dawkins Got Into a Fight With Michael Clemons After Defeating the Jets
Dawkinsโ beef with Clemons is no secret. After the Bills defeated the Jets on November 19, the two got into it while heading toward their respective locker rooms at Highmark Stadium.
SNYtvโs Connor Hughes posted, โThere was just a HUGE fight in [the] hallwayโ between the Bills and Jets. โA very emotionalโ Clemons heard from a Bills player, โAnd we beat that ass, too!โ
โThe fight started between Clemons & Dawkins off the field. Spilled into the tunnel. Others then [got] involved. It wasnโt pretty. Bills got last laugh with words thrown about the victory. Ugly end for Jets after ugly performance,โ Hughes added.
โIโm a humble guy,โ Dawkins said afterward, per Syracuse.comโs Matt Parrino. โNot a fan, man. Iโm not a fan of the Jets. Very disrespectful players. Itโs what it is and when we could run and pass and beat a team like that โ cool. Thumbs up.โ
