I'm sorry, but the questions athletes get asked by the sports media are almost without exception blithering and inane. For them to think they are owed anything by anyone is ridiculous in my eyes. And for the League to be not just a participant in that notion, but to actually be a partner is shameful. Let the guys who want to talk to the media do so (and there are plenty of guys who are happy to take the spotlight), and let the guys who don't want to talk to the media spend their media time hanging with kids. It would generate good PR for the league, and the kids would probably ask more insightful questions than the media.

Man, what I wouldn't pay to watch the sports media be subjected to 5 minute interviews by Kevin Gorg ...

I think it's a good though, Dude, but I'm not sure any player would talk to the media other than maybe a longsnapper if they weren't required to. Again, I think it's an interesting problem to solve.

I don't see the problem. I think we all would get more benefit if 104 players spent their media time playing with kids than if 106 speak to the media. I just don't see the value in stock questions being answered with stock responses. Seriously, when was the last time any useful or enlightening information came out of Super Bowl Media day? I can't think of once.

I'm with you, and pay no attention to it myself. But the NFL sees it as marketing. Until or unless they don't (which I can't see happening), how do you draw the line?

I would just point out that if the media is marketing, so would a bunch of pro players just hanging out and having a good time with a bunch of kids.

But then, the media wouldn't get to hear the sound of their own voices.

You'll never hear me side with the media, Dude, that's for sure.

Dude you are dead on

Who gives a flying fart if Lynch doesn't want to talk to the media?

I don't even want to see Bill Belichick interviews! he says nothing

Arian Foster summed it up perfectly

Stock answers tell us nothing!

I'm going completely against my own thought a few minutes ago, but:

I'm not a Sherman guy, but his interview about NCAA athletes is completely right.

Why talk about a murderer when you can be talking about balls being off by 1-2 PSI? BO-ring.

Agree. Amazing to think how many MURDERERS may be in the HOF. OJ, Ray, Harrison, etc.

Suge's first night out of prison in 2001? he came to the restaurant I was working at in college. Was one of his favorite spots. Let's just say I left early that night...

It occurs to me that probably the best way to balance out the disparity between offense and defense in a football game it to take away all the "easy" ways a team behind can conserve time on the game clock.

It is a huge advantage to be able to stop the clock any number of ways and a defense only has Time outs or " faking an injury".

Incomplete pass, clock keeps running... no charity stop.

Run out of bounds, clock keeps running.. no charity stop

Offensive foul, stop the clock, while explaining the penalty, meanwhile run off 10 seconds until under two minutes, then run off 3, but start the clock as soon as the ball is set for play, by the referee.

Defensive penalty, by all means, stop the clock until snapped after the penalty, you dont want defenses committing penalties just to run off more time than a play would take off the clock.

No more "clocking the ball", after a big gain.
Treat it like an incomplete pass or intentional grounding, which is what it really is.

Instead of a stopped clock and second and ten after a first down "clocking", it should be a five yard penalty, loss of down and clock run off as game situation determines, then restart the clock on "ready for play", get the clock running again, and get your team to the line and run a damn play.

The offense has way too big an advantage with ways to stop the clock.

Disrespecting Russell Wilson Got Percy Harvin Shipped Out
by 2Paragraphs in Sports | October 22, 2014

Percy_Harvin
Percy Harvin (photo: Keith Allison)
How did super-talented Percy Harvin manage to alienate his Super Bowl champion employer, the Seattle Seahawks, so much so fast that he got himself exiled to the New York Jets--known in the NFL as Siberia? NFL writer Mike Freeman thinks he did the one thing you can't do--he disrespected his quarterback. Freeman knows the league and can reference countless stories where this act of civil disobedience got a player pushed out. He mentions the 2005 Eagles, where the ever confrontational Terrell Owens wasn't properly subordinate to quarterback Donovan McNabb. See ya, Terrell.

[The Incredible Russell Wilson Factor]

Freeman quotes an ex-Eagle as saying: "If someone is talking bad about your quarterback, they [have] to go. Period." Russell Wilson is the quarterback in Seattle and he's the team's future. Harvin apparently didn't like that set-up. But the Seahawks are ready to let the other pieces fall where they may, as long as Wilson's happy. Wilson reacted to Harvin's departure by becoming the first player in NFL history to pass for more than 300 yards and rush for 100+ in the same game.

=================================

PercyPrima DonnaHarvin is a disrespectful baitch??

no way!!
