Marshall Thinks Its Cornerback Is Too Selfish

And by "too selfish" we mean he's no longer on the team.
Marshall has booted starting cornerback J.J. Johnson off the team for what was termed continuing selfish behavior. Johnson would've been in his third season as the starter this fall, and it obviously puts a crimp in the Thundering Herd's depth at cornerback.
I think in preschool that vague range of "selfish" conduct usually merited a timeout and a stern lecture. No sandbox time for you, kid! When you're an adult that gets you booted off your team. Of course the crimes were probably a little different, as he probably wasn't simply snagging teammates' toys and cups of awful tapioca pudding. At least we hope.

Anyway, I like that: "continuing selfish behavior". Completely vague, catch-all, awkward-sounding. Try using that next time when yelling at coworkers or the family pet.
