Lazar: Patriots Lockerroom Teetering on a Mutiny

[Dec54]

It's only 4 ****ing games into the season. You snowflakes calling for Mayos firing have never had to deal with adversity in your Iife. Get a grip!

Spot on, well said

A report is where you're printing quotes from players or unnamed sources (I'm not a fan of this kind of report but it's better than nothing).
An opinion is where you're giving your opinion with no quotes or other verifiable data to back them up.

Here I'll give you an example. Player A and Player B are getting into a heated argument across the locker room from me. I run to social media and say that the locker room is in disarray and the players are at each other's throats. That's an opinion.

If I go and talk to Player A or B and they said they were just getting into it because the other guy owed him $100 and then I report that with a quote. That's a report.

He OBSERVED it himself. Godchaux, Peopers, Polk, Douglas have literally commented about the things he said and verified them.

What do you have to contradict it? He said “offense is blaming offense” “defense is blaming defense” he cited the on the field antics of the wide receivers. He literally said I WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM

Why would he make it up? Has Lazar ever been that kind of reporter? He is a team employee.

I never contradicted it. I simply implied there could be some nuance to the situation. That really shouldn't be a controversial take.

No you responded to a very troubling report by saying “so?”
Then went on to question its validity.

What does mutiny even mean in this context?

Walk the plank off the schmeiser.

 

[Ring 6]

He withdrew what he said. Thats a start

He’s a patriot employee and the patriots took it down.
I mean if your goal is to bury your head in the sand, then covering up bad stories is certainly a good start.

And changed coaches. Did you think teams fire a coach in order to get the same result?

The also have pretty much the same roster (minus injuries) that was put together by the last coach and they could be heading to the same record. No surprise there.

Why would he make it up? Clicks. There's nothing going on with this team and there's only so many articles you can't write about how the O-line sucks and Jacoby is below average at best. There's no buzz so why not create some?

Yeah yeah yeah...

I don't think he made it up. Listen to what he said: WRs are upset at a QB who can't get them the ball and a defensive lineman being upset at freelancers. It's not mutiny but there's tension, which isn't really a surprise on this team right now.

Yeah, that wasn't me. You've combined me with another poster.

 

[Ring 6]

The fact that he retracted his statement.

Haha
Well first his employer took it down, so very likely he was reprimanded and told to make that statement
And he didn’t exactly retract it, he didn’t correct any of the things he witnessed, he just said he got carried away.
The issue isn’t the word mutiny in his conclusion, the issue is the events and tone in the locker room that led him to draw that conclusion.

 

[Ring 6]

Yeah, that wasn't me. You've combined me with another poster.

You are correct my bad

Frustration isn't in the same league as mutiny. He was giving his overwrought opinion.

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Lazar never should have said those things the way he did. Sure you lose your 3rd game in a row and players are gonna be swearing at each other in the locker room. bfd. Using the word Mutiny was irresponsible.

That said, I'm more concerned about the Miami game than any other. We were supposed to lose the last 3 games, but this game we're favorites even though we're not the better team. If we lose this one with Maye still in mothballs, all hell could break loose.

 

[Ring 6]

Its not a matter of lying its more about his choice of words.

I’m not concerned about his choice of words I’m concerned about the events and mood in the Locker room that would cause an honest reporter to draw that opinion

Agreed. But the frustration is real.

So you think its ok to use a word like "mutiny" and then retract it and you are not concerned. I think you need to re think.

 

[Ring 6]

What does mutiny even mean in this context?

He seemed to be saying the team will demand a qb change

I do think "mutiny" is strong language. You can't really have a true mutiny; the players can't overthrow the coaches and take over the team. I think the term here is meant to say that they are on the verge of giving up and not caring anymore. Trade demands. Etc.
