Ha..what is he supposed to do call them up on the cell? I think the public format where the fans get to hear what athletes are thinking in their most raw state is a part of the sport we also love. I don't care what a player thinks about the hit in the offseason, months later. It's not even news at that point. I want to know if he's pissed right now. Who's saying what and why did they say it. If it's every other week, then that's a different story.
It's not like these guys are working 9-5 office jobs and they can ask the boss out for a drink after work to hash things out. That luxury doesn't really exist in the NFL; or the NBA, NHL, MLB. Everything's real time. You're bustling off to prepare for the next opponent, getting rehabbed, watching game tape, etc.
