Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
If you think you want Arizona Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson to disappear and never come back following his atrocious performance on Monday night (we sure as hell do), you probably should hear what Magic Johnson has to say about him -- he "would have killed him."
Johnson was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and was asked about the Cards getting blown out by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football this week. More specifically, Johnson was asked about Anderson's giggle-fest with lineman Deuce Lutui while down 18 points in the fourth quarter.
"I would have beat his butt or killed him," Johnson told Kimmel on the show.
Check out the video below.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King has already predicted that Anderson will not be on the team next year and says Coach Ken Whisenhunt should be "playing for 2011," when Anderson will be gone and rookie B and C squaders, Max Hall and John Skelton, will still be with the team.
King's take on the debacle that is Derek Anderson:
