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.

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!!!
