Amendola hung up on Adam Jones during 98.5 radio interview...

[Brady6]

That evil Amendola probably ruined Jones. I hope Jones sues Amendola for causing him PSD.

Seriously, Jones should have handled the interview better. He is not an innocent victim. He is just a bad interviewer. That is probably why he is on nights and weekends.

I never said Jones was an innocent, I actually said Jones was in the wrong as well, but Amendola was also wrong in how he handled it.

 

[Brady6]

Amendola wasn't a victim. I am saying Jones isn't a victim either and he deserves his share of blame for the situation. He is not a good interviewer and a more experienced interviewer would have avoided this situation.
Ok, you don't hate Amnedaola. You just really, really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really dislike him.

Face it, whenever there is an Amendola thread, you get into arguments with virtually everyone with endless posts trashing the guy.

I have not trashed Amendola once, I have said he handled the situation poorly, my position has not varied, it has been consistent throughout, Jones could have handled the interview better and Amendola could have responded better, they both hacked it up. As far as what I said that holds true, I do not hate Amendola, I recognize the positives and negatives of him, last season with the exception of 3-4 games it was a negative result for Amendola.

I can go around and make endless excuses for Tavon Wilson, he had a knee injury, and a hamstring injury last season that is why he did not play well, and if people disagree I am going to berate them and make accusations that they hate Tavon Wilson and that is the only reason. Maybe then, King Troll will label one of my posts a “Winner”.

You're right. What Revis did was horrible. He should not have argued with that gasbag Parcells' girlfirend for 8 minutes - - he should have hung up the phone within 60 seconds.

Excellent point by Robo. That's exactly what these sensationalistic douchebags want. Oh, he was just joking. Oh, he was just about to move on (after 10 minutes?).

Amendola did the right thing. Starve the vultures.

It's not that they're bad interviewers. It's that they want the players to make a scene because it gives them a name and ratings!

 

[Joker]

Did you listen to the interview? Jones was not being disrespectful at all, and Amendola showed no signs of being bother by the series of questions. Even if Adam was being disrespectful (which as I said he was not) Amendola could have spoken up and moved the interview along, that is what a real man would do in that situation he would not cowardly slam the phone down like a diva. “Adam I answered the injury questions already lets move on to the next topic” that is all it would have taken.

He said using that word or another word how would you describe your injury situation. You have an issue with Jones asking a player who was injured basically all of last season how he would describe his injury situation? It seems reasonable to me, and seeing the question about the clavicle injury was leading into asking about Amendola’s approach to the game I feel that was once again a reasonable question, that any player who has played in 24 of his last 48 regular season games should expect to have to answer.

I am not going to sit here and take issue with one of our most disappointing players in 2013 and a player who had 0 catches and 1 drop in the AFCCG having to answer a couple tough questions in an interview. I expect that Amendola, Gronkowski, Wilfork, Kelly, Mayo, and any other player who missed the majority of last season with injury is going to be asked some questions pertaining to their injury situation and their health. I would also expect those players to answer the questions like a professional and not react like a 16 year old girl fighting with her boyfriend.

Shmessy he is a grown man he could have told another grown man that he was not going to answer any more questions about his injury history or health and to move the interview along, this guy plays the most violent sport in the world and he cannot speak up to Adam Jones?

Naïve is the posters who think that one of the most disappointing player on the Patriots last year who had 0 receptions in the AFCCG was not going to be asked a difficult question by an interviewer. As far as uninformed, that is laughable, I have provide more facts, and data to support my posts than anyone on this board. The only posters who ever take issue with what I post are the ones who cannot view situations objectively, anyone who could would know that a grown man hanging up on another grown man on the radio because he did not like the question being asked is immature.

Anyway I am done with this discussion, all I can say is I would not teach my 4-year-old son to hang up on someone if they ask him a question he does not like, I would want him to handle the situation more maturely. If you feel otherwise that is your right. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

They have a job to do; it puts food on their table and clothes on their family’s backs they do not deserve to be disrespected for trying to do that job. I find many of the media to be annoying and uneducated but I do not hold them attempting to do their job against them and I am not going to advocate that players, fans, or any person should disrespect these people. The questions Jones asked were 100% reasonable and his method in asking them was not abrasive or offensive, it was a line of questioning that was leading to something when Amendola overacted and hung up the phone.

I never said Jones was an innocent, I actually said Jones was in the wrong as well, but Amendola was also wrong in how he handled it.

I have not trashed Amendola once, I have said he handled the situation poorly, my position has not varied, it has been consistent throughout, Jones could have handled the interview better and Amendola could have responded better, they both hacked it up.

as anyone can see, this psycho goes from overt "it's all on that immature Amendola!!!!" to "well, Jones was wrong too but I said that all along". As anyone can see, this is 100% false. Erroneous to the nth.To top it off ,he lashes out in all directions and accuses every poster in this thread it seems of being unabashed Amendola lovers who attack anyone that says anything bad about him. I don't know about the rest of you, but Amendola doesn't particularly get my inner Pats fanatic revved up by any stretch. He's been a disappointment as a signing but really, who GIVES A RAT'S ASS???? If he contributes this season, great. If not the Pats will move on as they always do.What is concerning is this pathological Amendola hatred, even thought Psycho6 denies it after every screed, that I'm sure everyone thought was dead after his last 1000 post outburst on the subject back in March. Are we to expect MORE of this crazed player hate during this season's game threads here? Look how many posts he has in this thread and just look at how crazy it all is, from saying Amendola is a jerk, he's immature, he's not a man, Adam Jones did nothing wrong, to "I did too blame Adam Jones! I did!! It's the haters that love Amendola that don't agree!!!"

This isn't going to end in this thread. Who wants to bet he puts up another two or three thousand posts about Amendola before the 2014 season kicks off? ANYBODY????

I'll take the over. If Amendola starts well, it'll be "I knew it all along."

Made me laugh out loud...and then I thought .."how utterly sad"....

 

[captain stone]

I don't know what Jones was trying to accomplish by asking ToughGlass about his injury-prone-ability.
Did Jones really expect him to say: "Yeah, I know I get injured all the time; and Yeah, I know I'll most
likely get injured again this year; and Yeah, I know that Bill should've just re-signed The Receiver"…?

We know that already.

Interviewers ask the stupidest questions sometimes.

[50-yard-line]

This is desperate 50, you are better than this, you are attempting to compare players who were on injured reserve and had major injuries that required surgery and long rehabs to a player who played in 41/59 snaps in the game and only had a drop to show for it.

No, and you've just made my point for me.

Amendola and Arrington both played injured last year - with injuries that could easily have put either on IR.

People were trashing Mankins a couple of years ago - then we find out he played the season on a torn ACL. Injured players WILL NOT perform as well as they would without the injury, in most cases. So by your logic, a guy like Amendola or Arrington should just sit out.

Because when they play they become "the most disappointing player" on the team (despite Amendola having a higher rating than Edelman in PFF - a site you quote all the time - and in Football Insiders).

It was disappointing that he got hurt. It was disappointing that Mayo, Wilfork, Kelly, and Gronk all got hurt, too. It was disappointing that McGinest was playing hurt for most of his first couple of years here, too.

What YOU did was go to shots against DA unrelated to the interview, clearly showing your bias. Yeah, he caught nothing in the AFCCG - ever think that maybe Denver schemed against him?

Decker caught what, 1/6 in the SB and was the highest paid WR in FA this year.

Is it any wonder a guy like Amendola won't go there on the air? He's got half a fan base mocking him and riding him (I heard he gave Jones the bird and sprained his middle finger and will be out 6 weeks...).

That kind of **** wears on the other posters on message boards - I can only imagine what it does to someone like Amendola...or like your boy Edelman UNTIL LAST YEAR.

Give it a rest, really.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! LEAVE DANNY AMENDOLA ALONE!!!

 

[Brady6]

No, and you've just made my point for me.

Amendola and Arrington both played injured last year - with injuries that could easily have put either on IR.

Says you, nobody else has said that even once from the Patriots organization or in the media. Amendola injured his groin in week one, he had 18 weeks between the injury and the AFCCG.

People were trashing Mankins a couple of years ago - then we find out he played the season on a torn ACL. Injured players WILL NOT perform as well as they would without the injury, in most cases. So by your logic, a guy like Amendola or Arrington should just sit out.

You need to stop claiming Amendola was as severely injured as you claim in the second half of the season, you have ZERO to support that belief, he did not even undergo offseason surgery. You are portraying and injury in a severity that it was not in the second half of the season.

Because when they play they become "the most disappointing player" on the team (despite Amendola having a higher rating than Edelman in PFF - a site you quote all the time - and in Football Insiders).

What rating would that be? Amendola was a disappointment, if you do not see that then you need to open your eyes. He did not have a torn ACL in the AFCCG he had a groin injury that occurred 18 weeks prior with a 2-6 week recovery timeline.

It was disappointing that he got hurt. It was disappointing that Mayo, Wilfork, Kelly, and Gronk all got hurt, too. It was disappointing that McGinest was playing hurt for most of his first couple of years here, too.

Once again you have nothing to support him being injured in the second half of the season except for your belief that was the case, if the groin was as detrimental to him as you suggest he would have required an operation in the offseason, like Arrington, Adrian Peterson, and the other players who had groin injuries last year.

What YOU did was go to shots against DA unrelated to the interview, clearly showing your bias. Yeah, he caught nothing in the AFCCG - ever think that maybe Denver schemed against him?

Did you watch the game? I mean I am showing my bias, this is the most ridiculous thing I have read in a long time, yes the Broncos built their entire defensive game not to stop Blount, Edelman, or Brady but to stop the #3 WR.

Decker caught what, 1/6 in the SB and was the highest paid WR in FA this year.

Good for Decker, Decker also had more touchdowns last season than Amendola has in his 6 year career. Look at Decker’s production compared to Amendola, in the last two seasons he has more catches, yards, touchdowns, and first downs than Amendola has in 6 seasons.

Is it any wonder a guy like Amendola won't go there on the air? He's got half a fan base mocking him and riding him (I heard he gave Jones the bird and sprained his middle finger and will be out 6 weeks...).

I feel the same way about Tavon Wilson I do not know why everyone mocks him and rides him, he had a hamstring injury and knee injury last season, and despite that he had a lower QB rating against than McCourty, Harmon, or Gregory.

That kind of **** wears on the other posters on message boards - I can only imagine what it does to someone like Amendola...or like your boy Edelman UNTIL LAST YEAR.

Do you think we should call the police and have them do a wellbeing check at Amendola’s?

 

[RayClay]

Are you saying the Patriots make announcements of players that should be on the IR but aren't, or that severe groin tears heal best while playing enough snaps to catch over 50 balls, or both?

It was a unanimous decision among my principals in my government and a view that was shared by my-- the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You can't possibly have forgotten this again. He tore the muscle completely off the tendon, which is what the surgery would have been. Having completely ripped it off, the only thing left to heal it was rest.

You've made about 30,000 posts on Amendola, can't you stop repeating the same wrong facts, when you've been corrected?

So what you are telling me is we go with everything that was reported back in September except for the reported recovery time of 2-6 weeks?

Doctors often treat chronic groin pain by snipping the adductor longus – one of the muscles in the groin – from the pubic bone. Since Amendola's tendon ruptured, he essentially did the doctors' work for them, eliminating the need for surgery during the season. It also means he has a faster recovery time than if he had a groin operation.

Normal recovery time, even without surgery, is anywhere from two to six weeks. League sources said Amendola is healing faster than that, at a pace closer to three to four, which means he might play as soon as next Sunday at Atlanta.

I keep repeating myself because you and others continue to be wrong, Amendola was 18 weeks removed from the groin injury in the AFCCG that is 3 x the reported recovery time.

Did he rest it between plays? Please tell me doctor, how do you recover from a complete groin tear while playing competitive professional football?

Also, show me where a grade three (complete tear) abductor tear has a recovery time of two weeks.

He did not play weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 18 either because of injury or because of a bye.

Also, show me where a grade three (complete tear) abductor tear has a recovery time of two weeks.

Why would I show you that? Two weeks would put him at week 3 or 4 of the season, you saying the injury was what caused his poor play in the AFCCG that was 4 months and 9 days from the game in which Amendola was injured.

So. you can completely tear your abductor muscle, come back after only three weeks, then completely recover during the one game you miss the rest of the season.

I'm not a physical therapist, but I think playing 12 games of professional football around one game off and a bye, might aggravate an injury. What do you think?

Also, what excuse did every other member of the team besides Edelman have for not catching at least 54 balls (while resting, apparently)?
