"Another word that comes to mind" was not part of the replay, it was from the original. Belichick would have told him to hang up if he were listening in. Danny did the right thing. Jones is the one who should be run out of town.
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.
You should really listen to the interview brother, you clearly have this belief that Adam Jones was attacking Amendola and that was not at all the case, it was a series of questions.
What do you think he meant by "Another word that comes to mind for you"? A real man would have come right out and said the word. As a matter of fact if he was a real man he would have said it in a face to face interveiw instead of cowardly hiding on the other end of a phone.
Listen to the interview. The statements about being injury prone, fragile, and unlucky were all in the first question which Amendola answered without any indication of being upset, the second question was just about his current health which Amendola again answered without any indication of being upset, on the third question all Jones said was “as we said you’ve been described as unlucky with your injury situation” that prompted Amendola to hang up.
You didn't answer the question, and it may have taken Danny a couple seconds to absorb what he was insinuating. I think anyone with half a brain can figure out what that "other word" would be.
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.
What do you think he meant by "Using that word or another that comes to mind for you" after already using fragile, injury prone or unlucky? Seems obvious to me. That's exactly what he said. Jones was being unprofessional.
As I have said I do not have a major issue with what Amendola did, my issue with the suggestion by posters that it was the best and only way to handle the situation. There was a high road that Amendola could have and should have taken here, is it a major issue that he did not, no not at all, but I am not going to sit here and give him a golden star like it was a great move.
It is still available on the main page.
Fair enough. I'm just throwing out that Jones should be held accountable as well. That's all. He let that charity down as much as Danny did. That's the sad underlining to the whole scenario.
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?
Jones was wrong, no doubt about it, but Amendola was too, they both handled the situation poorly.
Agreed. The real loser in this was Catches for Kids. That's the unfortunate truth.
