Thanks, Brian Murphy, talentless white guy who criticizes people while providing nothing of value himself. Please give your dad who made your professional life possible our best.

As both a gambler and a fantasy player, let me be the first to tell you, gamblers and fantasy players don't give a shit about post game press conferences.

Indeed, how awful it is that he's able to be self-aware and amusingly self-deprecating, while finding creative ways to pay the fines his reticence unfairly incurs.

Big difference between doing commercials that you want to do that pay you and having to answer nonsense questions from entitled asshole reporters. I think MJ's Gatorade ads helped him a lot more than some sound bite to Sam Smith after a game against the Bucks in 1992. And he's smart enough to know that people talking…

If players stopped being accessible to media, how long before interest in the games themselves started to dissipate?

None. I've been a sports fan my whole life and could not point to one locker room sound clip from a Dodger or Charger that has made me go, "This is absolutely neccesary for me to be a fan".

So sportswriters would stop writing about the game if they didn't get their canned post-game platitudes? I call bullshit. This dynamic the NFL has set up, where everyone is required to be a good soldier and spend x number of minutes repeating themselves ad infinitum, is a relatively new phenomenon. Professional sports…

The NFL Player Interview lives somewhere between Oil Company Press Release and LinkedIn Endorsement From One's Own Mom on the spectrum of honest, interesting information.

Jesus. What is it about getting press credentials that turns someone into a maniac?

Really???? Yeah, I don't deny that marketing and media coverage has played a large role in making the NFL the money-generating juggernaut that it currently is but…who the fuck follows post-game coverage and questions besides members of the media?

Marshawn Lynch's tired sphinx act exposes the hard truth that the vast majority of so-called sports journalists are neither sports nor journalists.

I can't believe those poor millionaires had to suffer through life in a Porsche.

That Molitor coincidence is...really a coincidence.

Some people just don't care that much about cars. The company I used to work for is owned by a family of billionaires, and the fanciest car any of them drove was a 7-year old Porsche Cayenne.

You're absolutely right, of course, but still...those old ones are great. Big enuf for a butler to serve cocktails in the back!

Solved it. Marc Trestman, he's been impersonating a Head Coach in the NFL the past few years.

It was Kevin Costner, he got the wrong Mrs. Ripken.
