Last week an overhyped Saints fan dressed as Batman nemesis The Joker, Scott McGown, took to grabbing on the star tight end’s errrr….tight end, during a TD celebration.
Now he’s speaking out about why he decided to do such a vicious ass grab to Graham’s manhood. McGown is able to laugh the whole thing off, even after it went viral, via NOLA.com:
“I’ve been able to laugh about it from Day 1,” McGowan said in a phone interview Friday afternoon. “The truth of the matter is, all the fans took their turn and The Joker grabbed what was left.”
He then added this uncomfotable bit:
“There was some debate about whether he was a receiver or a tight end,” McGowan said with a laugh. “He’s definitely a tight end.”
But to clarify, the guy does charity appearances with other ‘Super-Fans’ and explained he meant no offense to Graham’s buttocks:
“I’d just want him to know I appreciate everything he does for the Saints. It wasn’t supposed to be a grope. That’s just where my hand ended up. It was never my intention to offend Jimmy. I hope he’s not offended about it. If he does take offense to it, I apologize.”
I wasn’t trying to cop a feel. I was just trying to pull him up there like everybody else,” McGowan said. “At the end of the day, I’m a loyal fan. I’ve been a season-ticket holder for 12 years and I’ve dressed as the Joker since the Heath Ledger movie. The whole point of the Joker is to strike fear into opponents of the Saints…What can I do but joke about it,” said McGowan.
