I don't disagree. But one guy making a bigger dick move doesn't change what he did. The staring down in and of itself isn't really a big deal. But be smart enough to not sound like an idiot when discussing it after. Just say I just got caught up in the heat of the moment and was trying to fire myself up for the game and leave it at that. I think sometimes the biggest problem some of these kids have is just knowing when to not say anything at all
You have to be fair. You can't criticize one guy and make excuses for the other. Sounds more like Pete Carroll hate coming out
What other guys? Richard Sherman didn't get re-signed. Chancellor and Baldwin are gone, though obviously because of retirement. But what other guys got big contracts from Seattle?
And that's fine. Again, coming from a fan of a team that's had some of the most feckless QBs over the last decade, I love seeing a QB that has some moxie and fire. It didn't hurt that he did it to a pathetic clown like Hue.
You're not wrong, I see where you're coming from. My point is just that Baker gets labeled as an ego problem while nobody says anything like that about ET at all.
Don't I know it man.... Same shtick year after year, but getting worse and worse. Sports Media only cares about attention & exposure. Clicks & viewership. Just look at all the disreputable assholes that they pull out of retirement to give interviews to about controversial situations. The producers know what they're doing. Adding fuel to the fire, not helping to extinguish it. If it doesn't demand attention then they don't bother selling it. You even see it with the talking heads that they employ. Crass individuals that sell terrible viewpoints & analysis, but it doesn't matter so long as they bring attention to the table. The more cracks in the foundation of an argument the better.
Man that video is 100% spot on. He put it perfectly, and that's a major, major problem. We've seen countless stories just in sports that require an editor's note or even a redaction based on incorrect information. It's an absolute joke. It's why getting your information from the talking heads in the media make you probably dumber than those who just don't even pay attention at all. Look at Skip Bayless - he's making a living off of being a contrarian and saying stupid shit constantly, yet people pay attention to him because he's so outlandish. The standards the media has set for itself in this era are an embarrassment.
Bobby Wags the year before.
Wasn't the public perception that they dismantled the LOB? Of course they had to sign some players but they also shipped off Bennett
Agree on all counts. It is indeed embarrassing. I just wish we saw more redaction, or at the very least some form of accountability. People like Ian Rapoport shouldn't have a job based on the amount of misinformation they produce. Those kinds of people are just weasels. And how they continuously trot that Rapoport schmuck out in front of the media as a reputable source is beyond me.
Well Bobby Wagner didn't get a new deal, and it's a point of contention for the organization. Green signed a contract for under $1m a year. Baldwin signed his contract in 2016. If that's what he's dwelling on, that's completely on him.
From me? I can't stand PC and not condoning what ET did. When your leg snaps like that you're not thinking rationally.
I remember back in the day when ESPN had "The Sports Reporters", the roundtable discussion show on Sundays. It was awesome, because it was respectable guys that were giving informed opinions. Now it's basically devolved into Jerry Springer-level trash. It's a really, really sad day when TMZ is a more respectable sports news source than ESPN. Never thought I'd see the day.
lol yep... Remember that show well. Its rare to find a neutral media outlet that focuses on factual evidence & sound opinions. They may start out that way, but at some point it always devolves (as you say) into the muck to compete for viewership. I like GMFB most days, but even they can get annoyingly off-based sometimes. The Herd (w/ Cowherd) is a good show. He's definitely opinionated, but he's much more informed & factually sound than most.
Lame. ET is pissed because he thinks he's not getting a contract so he flips off his super-supportive head coach and that's fine, but Baker is a punk for staring down his former HC who was a cancer on the organization. Stupid take.
I remember the time when I wouldn't miss Sportscenter in the mornings. I probably haven't watched it in over 2 years. GMFB is pretty solid, I'm a big fan. NFL Network is pretty much the first thing I turn on after the morning news, and I have it on now because they're covering training camp and their reporting is stellar.
