Basically told him to do his job as a reporter.

His response was very childish.

I proceeded to remind him who was the reporter.


NC_Skins ‏ @NC_Skins23

@AlbertBreer I"m not a reporter either. Do your homework and cover your bases. You want to report what scouts says but not his school?

NC_Skins ‏ @NC_Skins23

@AlbertBreer Reporters need to be fair, balanced and unbiased. If you hear a accusation, back up that claim with supporting people

----------------------------------------------------------------

NC_Skins ‏ @NC_Skins23

@AlbertBreer Also, I have no qualm if you said this back in December with your writeup. It coming out now has agenda written all over it.



He's on the Wise show right now, and he keeps bringing up what a scout has said, but he doesn't even acknowledge anything that the Baylor staff has said. Horrible journalism.

Damn I remember him! Pretty cool that he's a surgeon now.

This is such an inspirational story. I've forwarded it to my 17 year-old nephew and will have my own 15 year-old son read it and summarize.

Great read!

2012 NFL Draft is a week away, but Robert Griffin III is feeling the love from D.C. - Don Banks - SI.com

In other related RGIII news. Current Baylor Assistant AD Heath Nielsen took to twitter and absolutely pooped on Albert Breer's character assassination of RGIII.


Heath Nielsen ‏ @HeathNielsen

Couldn't be more wrong, Albert, re RG3... MT @AlbertBreer: ballboys & equipment guys at AU loved Cam. Not sure it was like that at Baylor

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heath Nielsen ‏ @HeathNielsen

.@AlbertBreer your bio lists you as "reporter", rather than speculate, why not ASK Baylor employees about RG3? He's LOVED at Baylor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heath Nielsen ‏ @HeathNielsen

RT @AStaton: Regarding #RG3: It is unfortunate that some mistake self-confidence and a refusal to remain complacent as selfish.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heath Nielsen ‏ @HeathNielsen

@AlbertBreer I've dealt w Rob for yrs in all situations, he & his family are salt of the earth. Dont mistake drive & confidence. He's loved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Heath Nielsen ‏ @HeathNielsen

@AlbertBreer I won't dispute personal opinions (of NFL folks), but I strongly feel Baylor "ballboys & equipment guys" treated great by Rob.

That's not fair to Breer. He's just the messenger reporting what he's heard

Hey, I think it's very fair. Why didn't he bring up those "character issues" in his RGIII breakdown back in Dec?
NFL.com news: With Barkley now out of picture, attention turns to Griffin

He's waiting to now to verify what scouts have supposedly said? He never bothered checking with Baylor AD or staff to verify such allegations? Eff him. If he wants to be a "reporter" than he needs to do his job thoroughly and correctly. That means covering his bases and backing up any claims instead of propagating agendas. He deserves every bit of flak he's catching right now.

There may be more behind it than what we know. Maybe Breer is just helping Indy defame RG3 because he owes them a favor, or will want a favor down the road? I haven't seen what Breer is saying about RG3, but I trust Breer as a reporter because he's generally known as one of the harder working reporters around the league. With that said, I doubt I'd believe him in regards to RG3's "character flaws."

I do believe all this negative news we're hearing about RG3 atm is probably negative press from Indy to sell the fans on Luck, and I wouldn't have trouble believing people in Indy would ask reporters to help spread the story. If Breer is one of them so be it.

He's not saying hey this is true. He's just saying yes, I know some scouts have said this.

So why bother? Why didn't he just put that in his report back in December? That's a huge accusation to levy right before the draft.


I'm not saying his report is wrong or false. I'm questioning his timing and not reporting both sides or confirming it with other people.

[JoeRedskin]

Is there anyway to get more amped about this guy.
