![]() “They make it seem so easy to go back in time to save Sarah Connor or whatever, but the reality is that post-Civil War America includes a lot of crazy white dudes with ideas about what a black man ought to be doing, and that doesn’t include trying to get into the Presidential balcony at Ford’s Theater. “Fuck the movies,” a visibly exhausted Johnson said. Hastily scribbled notes found in the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year’s pockets helped reveal a disjointed story marked by tragedy, frustration and inspiring but ultimately futile heroism. Let’s just say that the guy in the stovepipe hat didn’t fare well.” After requesting bread and “strong drink” Johnson lamented that “time’s arrow cannot be diverted”, shaking his head in response to inquiries about the fates of Lincoln and Georgia Tech: “One died and one lived. receiver returned with a flash of light, looking dusty and injured in several places. Just a few seconds after he successfully opened a portal to the past, the 6’5″ 235-lbs. ![]() Johnson’s efforts at altering the past would ultimately be in vain, though. “Plus that whole Lincoln thing, sure,” Walker added when asked about America’s sixteenth president.

Maybe he’s lifting weights, maybe he’s working on wormhole stabilization. You go in to the weight room at five in the morning and that’s where you’ll find him.

Johnson took advantage of recent breakthroughs in the areas of transversable wormholes – a form of warped space-time compatible with the Einstein field equations – as well as the science of poorly throwing a football into the air so he could grab it, two subjects the pass catcher is well versed in.Īccording to the All-America wide receiver, time travel to the past is made possible by accelerating one end of a wormhole to nearly the speed of light and then bringing it back to the point of origin, producing what Johnson called “time dilation”. ![]() “Make sure you put ‘throwing’ in quotes,” he added. That he should die a scant six months after his re-election always struck me as one of history’s crueler jokes.”Ĭontinued Johnson: “Not as cruel a joke as Reggie Ball ‘throwing’ to me, though.” “He was a great man, a great leader in a time of desperate need. “I’ve always admired Lincoln,” Johnson said during Thursday’s press conference prior to his temporal voyage.
