You’ve Been Chopped owner frustrated with star QB’s performance and ‘Hollywood persona’
NEW YORK — After a 2-0 start, including a dominating performance over Second Floor Shits in Week 2, one would think all would be well in the Food Network Football, Inc. universe.
Not so, according to Chairman and CEO Andrew Fletcher, who also serves as owner and general manager of the You’ve Been Chopped franchise.
In an exclusive, Fletcher repeated voiced his frustrations with quarterback Andrew Luck and his four-turnover performance Monday night, including three interceptions.
“I’m starting to get sick of his Hollywood persona,” Fletcher said, referring to Luck’s appearance in DIRECTV commercials. “He needs to focus on football. We’ll only go as far as he can take us.”
Luck has five interceptions and three touchdowns through two weeks, well off his pace of 40 touchdowns last season.
Despite outscoring Lenny Neslin’s Second Floor Shits by more than 46 points, Fletcher’s team left 15 points on the table in the form of turnovers – 11 by Luck and four by running back Jamaal Charles. These points had no affect on the Week 2 leaderboard, as Mealz on Wheelz scored nearly 160, but Fletcher was still unhappy.
“We can’t be complacent,” he said. “We can’t lose the turnover battle. We must protect the ball.”
Fletcher, surprisingly, did have some positive remarks. He noted how well wide receiver Julian Edelman has played thus far and also praised the play of backup quarterback Andy Dalton.
“I hope that lights a fire under Luck,” he said. “I know they usually say, ‘If you have two quarterbacks, you have none.’ Well, I disagree with that. Dalton will get playing time is he outperforms Luck, mark my words.”
Luck is protected to score just shy of 22 points against the Tennessee Titans. You’ve Been Chopped will face Team Spillzzzzzzzzzz in Week 3 action, kicking off tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. ET.
