Jason Taylor is still close enough with his former Dolphins teammates that they are already poking fun at him for his role on “Hard Knocks.”
Channing Crowder, who had it out with Rex Ryan through the media last year, is planning to watch Taylor and the Jets on the HBO show, which premieres Wednesday.
“I just want to see JT and laugh at him,” Crowder told the Palm Beach Post.
“I talked to him the other night and I was making fun of him, so I just want to see him out there embarrass himself.”
Crowder is known for his trash talking and the linebacker had no problem amping it up for Taylor, who has some experience on television.
“He’s a real pretty boy,” Crowder said. “He had makeup with ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and all that, so he might put on makeup. He’s gonna perform. Trust me. You can mark that. JT is not going to be himself.
“He’s gonna perform for the cameras, ’cause he’s a showman. That’s what I give him a hard time about – he’s going to be as clean as he can, he’s gonna have a freshly shaved head, ’cause the camera is around and he’s very womanly.”
Crowder and Ryan somewhat jokingly threatened to fight last season, with Ryan saying, “I’ve walked over tougher guys going to a fight than Channing Crowder.”
