MTBill Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I suspect there was something said before the question period. Contract stuff is totally not McD's area - so maybe that's why it was treated that way? Or - maybe McD talked to Sal before the conference about it - and McD said no comment - then it was asked in public and that's why he got the reaction? I suspect things like injury settlements are probably taboo to talk about - especially if they have not been done yet? 1
Doc Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I wonder if this had any bearing on naming Josh the starter for Sunday this early? Seems like it did.
Big Turk Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) It must not be a bad bruise then...I bruised the bottom of my foot playing baseball as a kid from stepping on a bat after it wasn't cleared out of the way from home plate and it was excruciatingly painful...could not even have my foot touch the ground for almost 2 weeks and was on crutches... McCarron's injury must not be as severe or they must have some super high tech treatments available for him...otherwise he isn't practicing til week 1...and by that point the QB competition is done.

Here is the link: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/sean-mcdermott-time-to-move-forward It begins about the 52 second mark. 1) Sal asked what appears to be a fairly standard question; 2) McCoach gave him a really dirty look; 3) Sal for some reason said that he is sorry; 4) McCoach said next question; 5) McCoach gave him another dirty look and shook his head while taking the next question. The whole thing is odd . . . especially since Sal (perhaps because he is paid by the Bills as a sideline reporter for the radio broadcasts) seems to make sure to always paint McBeane in a favorable light. The reaction seemed gratuitous and odd. Thanks
YoloinOhio Posted August 21, 2018 Author Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Did the X-ray seem to show a hairline fracture? Did reporters (and their sources) just get it wrong? Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle. Sometimes a vessel or angle on X-ray can lead to suspicion of a tiny non-displaced crack, and then days later a follow-up MRI, CT scan or X-ray shows the truth. So one possibility is that the initial test showed something that gave the medical staff cause to believe there was a fracture and a source jumped the gun with reporters. (It is better for medical staffs to be cautious and investigate all possibilities.) Certainly, the Bills public relations staff could have corrected any early misinformation — if there was any. But, then again, the team did not officially address the injury in the first place. (Remember, there is no mandatory injury reporting in the preseason.) Whatever happened, it appears to be good news for McCarron. Players should win or lose their jobs on the field, not because someone is in the training room. Edited August 21, 2018 by YoloinOhio

That's on the ump, should have cleared it as a courtesy if there were RISP and someone got a hit. 46 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ....glad he went to see Dr Ruth for the second one.............

Yeah I was on 3rd base and it was a medium fly ball to the outfield with one out so I was tagging and I had to run hard...throw got cut off by pitcher but I wasn't really paying attention in front of me I was looking sideways and I turned my head back and it was too late I was already in mid air and stepped right on it...that hurt bad lol
Domdab99 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I hope AJ is okay. And if he never plays a down as a Buffalo Bill, that would be ok, too. Edited August 21, 2018 by Domdab99

The reaction seemed gratuitous and odd. I think it must have been that he didn't wanna get into it because he was still fuming about the hit. That was what it looked like to me. If it was just he didn't want to talk injury settlement he would surely have just said "I don't want to get into that right now." I think he was trying to avoid talking about the hit because he was gonna blow up if he did. It was dirty and might have ruined that kid's chance to ever play pro football. EDIT: I should also say that you hear him call out to Sal when he leaves the podium at the end before the feed switches off. So I am guessing they sorted their differences straight away. I used to do soccer press conferences in my previous life and Manchester City at the time were managed by a guy who would combust at a question almost every week. He would always make a point of coming up to you at the start of the next week and apologising. But then he'd explode again at someone else that week. Was just who he was. Odd thing with Sean is it does not seem to be his style, so something made him really angry. I think it was the hit, not the question itself. Edited August 21, 2018 by GunnerBill

Well remembered matter. It was 2.30am or something over here... no wonder my memory is a little hazy.
