Carlos Rogers catches an INT?!

I don't think he ever said that. ;)

Also, dealing with the media is not a part of the job description of Professional Athlete.
You're right, those exact words did not come out of his mouth. But isn't it ironic that he chose not to speak to them after they wrote a negative article about him? I just think it shows immaturity to not talk to them becuase they wrote something negative about him after he played bad. He's been talking to the media all season and now he doesn't want to because they wrote the truth about how he's had a bad season in the paper. If he chose to never talk to the media, like Taylor, that's fine, but it sounds like he's throwing a hissy fit because of the article they wrote talking about how he thinks he coulda been a pro bowler if he caught those INTs. And I TOTALLY disagree with you that dealing with the media is not part of the job desrciption of being a professional athlete. How could you say that? They are constatly surrounded by the media and if they do not deal with them in the correct manner it can hurt their relationships with the fans, coaches, their team, and their own career. Look how the Giants mouthing off to the media has torn their team apart, look how TO has used the media to make himself hated and tear the Eagles apart, look at how when players talk trash about another team or player to the media it gets that team fired up, dealing with the media is definitely in the "job description." And if dealing with them is just not talking to them ever, like some do, that's fine. But, I don't think it is smart, classy, or professional to blow them off when they write the truth about you and you don't like it.

Who cares if he talks or not or what his motives are.

The NFL world could use a lot less talk if you ask me.

i guess it doesn't really matter, I just thought it was immature, under the circumstances in which he all of a sudden decided to stop talking to them, that's all.

WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE MEDIA?? THEY SUCK AND JUST RIDE ANY BAND-WAGON-FLAVOR OF THE MONTH TOPIC AND TEAM.

HE CAUGHT THE BALL AND WON THE GAME FOR US. THEY HAD NO REASON TO PLAY BUT FOR PRIDE. THAT IS WHAT JOE GIBBS IS ALL ABOUT.

THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS THE TEAM HAS HELD ITS COMPOSURE AND NOT THROW EACH OTHER UNDER THE BUS. THAT'S THE MEDIAS JOB.

I BET THAT UNNAMED PLAYER WHO RIPPED GREG WILLIAMS WAS AA!!!

I don't care if players talk or don't talk to the media, many times it's best that they keep thoughts to themselves. However if he keeps improving his play like he did yesterday the media will leave him alone etc.

I think the guy has a lot of potential, he alone is not the reason for the defensive woes, they played as a team yesterday and I hope everyone of the players will comeback to training camp mad and hungry with something to prove next year.

I hope that the front office makes sensible and smart choices next off-season in terms of personnel changes.

I don't really understand what point you're trying to make in return to my last post, sorry.

Don't worry about player comments to the media. Coaches comments are another story.

he still got beat deep a couple of times. If this is his best game, we are in trouble.

I'm not worrying about player comments to the media, but they definitely are important and they do have an affect on many things, including, as I stated before, relationships with fans, coaches, their team, front office and opposing teams. Examples players who have made comments to the media that have had a negactive impact on some of the relationships just mentioned include, Tiki Barber, Michael Strahan, Jeremy Shockey, TO, Randy Moss, Freddie Mitchel running has mouth to Rodney Harrison before the Super Bowl, etc. You don't think Lavar was a extra pumped up when Springs made the comment about how he didn't know the playbook?
