stevegrab Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 well hell I've been doing it wrong all along. I should've taught my kids..."hey, if you're an elite talent at sports you get a free pass in life to act like an mister and you're not responsible for anything" thanks for the heads up! : rolleyes: Exactly those who defend him, especially with the angle presented by Bobby Brown, show the real problem is that many people think their "unique skill [running fast, being mean, being strong]" gives them a pass on being a reasonable and respectable human being. Don't want to talk to the press ok. Don't want to attend classes and take tests, no problem. Think you can do drugs, drive without a license, hit your wife/kids, well we do have our limits somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 makes him a lot less deserving of my respect. That's understandable as I noted above; no argument with that. Trying to rationalize what a professional athlete should do because joe blow has to do joe joe blow tasks at his joe blow job is silly and irrelevant.

darin3 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't really like Colin Cowherd but he had a good take on this last Thursday. This is on the media. Yeah, Lynch could be faking all of this, but why do you consistently hound the guy when it's obvious he's a terrible interview? Wouldn't you want to seek out the guys that are good interviews? Russell Wilson? Hell, Richard Sherman is on this team! Just a dumb situation altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 That's understandable as I noted above; no argument with that. Trying to rationalize what a professional athlete should do because joe blow has to do joe joe blow tasks at his joe blow job is silly and irrelevant. Joe blows are silly to expect the same level of personal responsibility they must have to simply keep their joe blow jobs. Murica, truck yeah. You know, he doesn't even really need to take questions. Have a prepared statement (couple sentences) and read it. Don't act like a pompous ass or mock the session with asinine behavior. That is only making it worse. If he is incapable due to some factor(s), then get excused from it in the appropriate manner. Otherwise, DO YOUR JOB. Its his personal responsibility and no one else is to blame but him. Rationalizing it because hes an athlete seems beyond silly to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningMud Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He has weapons charges, hit and run charges, dui charges. He is not a good guy. I don't care if the media puts him in a cage on a stage and asks him questions until he passes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't care if he chooses not to talk to the media. Do I think he has social anxiety? No, probably not. I think he just doesn't care to talk to the media and his "thanks for asking" replies is just his way of fighting back for being forced to take questions from reporters. If he's ok paying the fines, then it's his choice to keep replying like he does. The dude moves to a different drum beat than most. To each his own, but I will say it's well past the time for him to quit grabbing his crotch when he scores a touchdown. The way he slows down and walks across the goal line is punctuation enough. The nut grabbing is just juvenile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Seems like this should get more negative attention that what it does. yeah surprisingly and it's about balls too. reminds me of a few years back when defensive players were getting penalized and fined and the NFL was selling pictures of the hits.

Swashbucklers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Seems to me that he likes the attention and just wants to come off as different. If you are doing commercials and putting yourself out there in that regard to make some money, why can't you answer a few questions? And I agree that reporters should quit asking him questions altogether. The attention that he is getting for his interviews is, IMO, exactly what he is looking for.
