Did anyone see this afternoon's ESPN interview

[Atlas]

I was having lunch when they went to a pre-SB interview with the Bear's DE. You may remember he forced the fumble last week that was originally ruled down, but reversed to the Bears favor.

 

For all the bashing that goes on for the TO's and Chad Johnsons of the world, it was refreshing to hear this athlete speak.

 

He was articulate and thoughtful and even when given questions that he could have gone off on a rant and blown his own horn, refused to succumb to the media and gave credit to everyone else. I mean, he's not a youngster, by football standards. He's apparently going to be 30 years old and has played 6 years, but it was refreshing to hear a quality interview instead of the constant self-promotion!

 

Wondered whether I was the only one that caught that, or am I just too jaded by todays idiots.

He played at Indiana University and blew out his knee his senior year. Went undrafted, I believe. Perhaps gave him some perspective.

Not sure if you can remember a show on CNN called "Good News". All they reported was good things going on in this world. I'm sad to say it didn't last due to low ratings.

he also refused to comment about his confidence in Rex last week before the Saints game...saying how the D and O practice seperate and don't talk. I call BS. I'm sure it's a different story this week.

 

I have always liked what the guy has to say though. He is a regular on 670 in Chicago and they always used to joke with him and Doug Buffone with Dougy not being able to say his name right in promos last year when he came to the Bears.

No ESPN will stay in business as long as they continue to do the things that bring ratings like when they devoted a day to TO's suicide attempt as if the President had been shot.
