I love what he had to say today. Just like I loved what he
has said each media day.
Just because you are a great athlete with accomplishments
that are viewed weekly on a nationwide stage, you are not necessarily one who
wants to follow that up with a lot of talk about it. Obviously, the guy is an
introvert.
He DOES stuff. He doesn’t talk about it. And why should he
have to?
I get it that the NFL is big business, and as one of its
employees you have certain obligations to further the business. Although
Marshawn’s tactics are not satisfying the reporters, I believe that he’s
creating plenty of draw and interest with it. He’s following the rules, enhancing
the NFL’s bottom line, and pays the fine when he doesn’t.
I disagree with the reporter that asked him “Why are you
being such a jerk to us?” He’s not being a jerk. He’s being true to himself,
and protecting his privacy. He doesn’t care what they think, and he’s not
willing to give them tidbits of info with which to create a story that they
hope will bring accolades to themselves.
I say, GO MARSHAWN! Be yourself. Stick with what is
important to you. Thanks for being a bite of reality in a media blitz that
encourages navel gazing and an overabundance of redundant football strategy.
You’re right – we don’t need to talk that much. Just be all about that action,
boss.
Well, except for that crotch grab action…We could live without
that, boss.
