OT:Derek Anderson freaks out to reporter - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I thought the reporter was out of line. Didn't look like he was having a good old time to me. It could have been anything that brought that facial expression, it could have been sarcasm. From reading the thread, I thought he might have been yucking it up out there.

Ummm....Gruden ripped DA a new one for it right there on the MNF game. It's not like the reporter invented it.

The question was a completely valid one. The reporter was right on and, in fact, was WAY TOO POLITE in the questioning.

Lemme ask you this, if Bledsoe during his worst games of throwing off the back foot EVER pulled something like that on MNF laughing on the sidelines with Max Lane, would YOU not want a reporter to at least deign to ask his Highness about it?

My favorite part of the video is where DA says "I wasn't laughing" and the reporter tells him it's right there on the screen and DA does a 180 and starts spewing,
"That's fine, that's fine, that's fine....." before finding the motivation and words to muster up a new head of indignation.

Good points. I don't know what he expected DA to say though.

It's too bad Dennis Green isn't still the cardinals coach.

Yeah after asking him the first couple of times was ok imo, but to continually repeat it over and over again when its obvious DA doesn't want to answer is carrying it to far. After about the 4th or 5th time it becomes about the reporter making himself the story.

Correct, the reporter was only doing his job. If I was a Cardinals fan I'd certainly want to hear Anderson explain what he was thinking, and he didn't.

I think it's entertainment. I feel bad for the guy, but he should NOT be an NFL QB.

I had to laugh when the announcers found great joy in discussing NEXT week's game. Even got into the weather, lol.

Yea that was great, even they don't care about the cardinals & 49ers. Whoever wins the division is probably just going to be sent home wildcard weekend. The cards in 08 were pretty bad heading into the playoffs though.

Reporter is an a-hole trying to score cheap points.

People deal with stress in different ways. Some people try and make light of a bad situation.

I know one girl who told jokes to her friends at her dad's wake. She didn't find her dad's death funny or humorous. But laughing about what some of the people wearing or other things she found funny at the moment was how she coped. One busy body decide to scold her for this. That women was an d-bag. This reporter is a d-bag.

I am *****ing tired of the d-bags that refuse to allow those people who deal with stress through humor from doing so.

And those of you who ripped Tate for laughing on the side lines after his second incomplete pass a few games back are d-bags too.

Some people deal with stress through humor. If you have a problem with that you can go eff yourself!
