CrazyFBFan1223 Did u read the article Redsauce? It was ridiculous in terms of personally attacking a player. I dont mean saying something like he's playing bad but calling him a mamas boy. A chicken who doesnt have the guts to play QB. The kid is already benched and you are going to kick him when he is down is simply stupid.
If you read a little more into the lines of the column, Jenni basically says that Reid is just a baby and attacks his manhood. You should really read the article before opening up your mouth.
-
Redsauce I absolutely read the article...several times because I was confused why people were in such an uproar about it. I think I'd try reading my responses further down which make this obvious before you open your mouth...
But keep being a douche if you'd like.
-
CrazyFBFan1223 Why there was an uproar about it? He's a kid. Have you ever played college sports and had such pressure on you? This kid was kicked when he was down and who knows how his psyche is right now. Reid is NOT a pro athlete. He doesnt need to be ridiculed and ripped so personally. When you feel like you have a towns, or even better yet whole states counting on you and you have a bad game, how would you feel when such pressure is on you?-
Redsauce I actually did play college sports (although I'll admit at not such a crazy high level). Read further down--to pretend Reid isn't adequately compensated for his services is ridiculous. It's not the sportswriters' job to care about his psyche--it's to call him out when he's playing like crap.
Where's the uproar when ARod's mental acumen gets called into play? Is there a salary line that if you make over that amount, anyone can say anything about you? I'm just loving the double-standard. Say he's a pro & all that nonsense, but Reid's getting his just like ARod is.
-
CrazyFBFan1223 But thats the point, Reid isnt a pro athlete. There SHOULD be a line drawn when it comes down to personal life. I agree that if he plays bad, then the media has every right to call for him to be benched or call for the backup. But to attack a persons manhood and call him a baby with such a personal attack is completely uncalled for.-
Redsauce My last say on the matter:
Why's it OK to "attack a persons manhood and call him a baby" when it's his job as opposed to his hobby which he just happens to get handsomely compensated for?
-
CrazyFBFan1223 How do you know he's being compensated for it? :P I just think there should be a limit as to what is said about college athletes. Most of them (not all because you know some of them are paid. lol) arent compensated and are more students then athletes hence why i say there should be a line drawn. If its a pro athlete and its there job, by all means they chose to be in the public eye as such and should be critized when playing bad.

Redsauce lol
Seriously? I get voted down for defending myself & responding to a personal attack ("You should really read the article before opening up your mouth.") Hilarious.

Zorgon Article in question: newsok.com/article/3131543
She does say a lot of insulting off the field things about the QB, and says that the coaching staffs mind was basically made up that he wouldn't start because of his attitude. She does mention, several times, that he was hand-fed chicken by his mother, and that says everything about his attitude.
So, I do believe Mike Gundy was somewhat in the right. But, the QB should NOT have to have chicken hand fed to him, and Mike Gundy should really not read some of the other stuff that comes out of the Craplahomans columnists.
-
Redsauce She mentions the chicken thing three times in the entire article. What does she say that's so bad? She basically writes that he doesn't have the attitude to cut it right now as the starting quarterback. She questions his drive.
Seriously, if this is the first time Mike Gundy's had one of his players' attitudes questions, then he's been coaching soccer for 4 year olds. Give me a break.
-
airraid81 Funny press conference. -
Doberman On The Diamond Granted, the thing about him being fed chicken seemed cheap - I'm assuming his mom just brought him some and didn't hand feed it to him - but aren't coaches supposed to hold players accountable? Maybe there's a reason Ok. St. is an underachieving team.
-
Woody Getting personal with the "this person has never had a child" bit might come back to bite him, but Gundy was completely justified in going after Jenni Carlson. Devoting an entire column to blasting a student athlete is a dubious move. Throw in the fact that it was all based on rumors and off-field stuff and she deserves the criticism.-
Redsauce Because sportswriters have never written a column about how they think a certain athlete stinks, this is a totally never-before-heard-of situation.
And isn't this what sportswriters are supposed to do? Write their opinions on sports? Report why a guy gets benched?
-
Woody Professional athletes should expect to be called out when they play like crap. But picking on college kids just isn't cool.
-
Doberman On The Diamond If college athletes don't want to be criticized, they shouldn't play. It's a huge business with enormous exposure. Don't like it? They should take up water polo. Nobody will say a word.-
Digital Headbutt It is a huge business, but aside from the exposure, college athletes don't see a dime for their services. Questioning a student-athlete's tangibles (their on-field performance ans skill) is completely fair game; questioning their mental fortitude is somegthing else completely. It's important to use personal discretion in that regard, and it appears that Jenni Carlson did not.
Having said that, the clip is awesome.
-
-
-
-
-
Redsauce It's laughable to think that college athletes don't see any money for their services. Want to pretend that these athletes are actually 'student-athletes'? I highly recommend taking Jim Harrick Jr.'s test to see how much of the 'student' part of that shows through.
Keep in mind I'm not saying that every 'student-athlete' is solely an athlete. I'm saying the vast majority are. Pretending that college sports isn't big business & that these athletes aren't compensated is ridiculous.
-
El Stevo09 Your article/test link simply shows that it is more about the business versus the student (which was wrong as the NCAA found) which in essence supports everyone blogging here that Jenni Carlson was wrong for her article.
Not that something like this hasn't been written before on another athlete, nor do we know that a coach called the reporter on it. The beauty of it is that everyone who even just watches the video, will side with Gundy because he is right. They're kids.
-
-
JaketheSnake But Bobby Reid is who Dennis Green thought he was. -
Digital Headbutt And Donovan Woods let him off the hook. -
mikeismad Watch out he may come after you next: http://www.mikegundyismadatyou.com -
CrazyFBFan1223 Forgot to mention this. Sorry about the personal attack Red. Unfortunately ive been on the end of some of those attacks in a paper and so has some of my friends and let me tell you it sucks. I do believe coach Gundy had every right to protect his players and if i was a parent and read that column, i would be pretty upset also. To attack such a person in such a negative way when he is already down and and benched is completely uncalled for.
On a side note, i am glad that coach Gundy spoke from the heart and shot this one from the hip. It made it that much more real.
