What is the difference between TO's refusal to comment and others


Recommended Posts

Most players will not speak their mind because they do not wish to talk about : playbook, playcalling, specific scheme, botched assignments, formation goings to be used next week, who's to blame, if I really want to come back here next year, if I should be the number 5 DB, the weakest link on our next opponent's lineup, etc.

 

So essentially, if you don't want to create a mess, you just talk about things in general and you make sure to include as many clichés as possible, in an attempt to fill the void.

 

 

Here are Lee Evans' comments: "When it comes down to it, when things aren’t going your way you need to have something, kind of a game-changer, a big play and to take a shot at some point," Evans said. "The one shot that we did take, we just missed it. That was tough, but we should've had a few more of those and we didn’t.

 

And after such a quote, Tim Graham marvels at Lee Evans because he "dared" to comment to the situation.

 

Note to Tim: the answer he just gave you is meaningless and you got nothing out of him. Just like you got nothing out of TO. So if TO doesn't want to talk, just go to Jonathan Scott's locker, he'll be happy to give you a quote and you will be able to render your cute ESPN article to your editor on time and it won't wake you up at night anymore.
