Not what Eddie Lacy actually looks like. ESPN

ESPN made fun of an NFL player's weight right before he had one of his best games

That’s one way to answer your critics.

IT’S NO SECRET that Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy struggles with his weight and has done for nearly his entire college and professional career.

Indeed, some NFL fans refer to Lacy as ‘Feastmode’, a play on Marshawn Lynch’s ‘Beastmode’ nickname.

However, prior to last night’s Green Bay/Washington NFC Wild Card game, ESPN ran a segment showing Lacy eating cartoon cheese on the field of play as former NFL wide receiver Cris Carter– the same guy who told NFL rookies they need to find a fall guy to go to jail for their crimes — joked about how the Packers back took the Green Bay ‘Cheesehead’ moniker a step too far.

Lacy had the last laugh however, scoring a crucial touchdown and running for 5.2 yards per carry, his second best performance of the entire season.

It included this big run to set up the Packers for the go-ahead score:

    Barkley was right. LeBron already has the highest paid team in the league. If he wants to complain about not having a backup point guard he should go to the boardroom, not the media.

    Bringing Barkley’s past into it is a cheapshot aimed at deflecting from Barkley’s argument. I respect LeBron as a player but going public was a dumb move, just as ‘the decision’ was.

    The decision worked out pretty well for him in fairness

    The decision itself was a good one. The live broadcast announcing the decision was a mistake, and judging by how he announced his return to Cleveland I think LeBron knows it.

    One only has to look at the warriors to understand why lebron is freaking out. Cavs sneak by in a finals series that could easily have gone the other way, and then the warriors go and add Durant! Can’t see the cavs competing with this years warriors team.

    Lebron as usual will give it a 110%, be the best player in the series, and then get criticized for been overrun by a superior team.

    Another know all pundit. If he knew all he thinks he knew he’d be a coach.

    Lebron has Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, The highest paid roster in the league and they just brought in a great shooter in Kyle Korver. Shut the “f” up and play the game. Stop being a whiney little bytch.
