Garoppolo isn't gonna win fans over with this comment

Doesn't change the fact that there is now a headline of "Garoppolo was excited when he found out Brady would accept his suspension" out there. People won't bother to go listening to the audio of the interview they'll see that headline and think he was excited at the expense of Brady.

Only if they're as dumb as s#!t.

Do I criticize him for feeling excited at the opportunity to start and prove himself? Not at all.

Do I think his choice of words was ideal? No. I'd have suggested "enthusiastic" or "eager to prove myself" over "excited," but he's what, 24 years old? Cut him some slack.

Do I think it's a big deal? No. As someone else pointed out above, if I had to choose between his saying that he's "excited" and saying that he's "scared," I'll take excited any day.

I care about what he does on the field not what he says.

The article mischaracterized the interview.

He clearly was genuinely respectful and complimentary of Brady.

They should have asked a follow-up question before writing that crap article.

Unfortunately I was one of the dummies. I read the article without listening to the interview.

We all make mistakes, except of course for Roger Goodell....

I find most of the "journalists" who write on CSNNE, Perry among them, to be lazy and generally to do bad reporting. I think they are for the most part sports enthusiasts who know how to spell but who can't get real jobs.

I really never take anything seriously that they write and, if they're characterizing something that I can check out, I always "check the source." That, of course, assumes that I wasted my time reading them in the first place.

Competition is a good thing....

 

[meatface]

Brady would have said the same thing in his position.

It's definitely an off season story

Running in terror, doing the Home Alone scream?

 

[DarrylS]

Not sure if fans want little hands clapping inside over this comment, are outraged because Garrapolo is a competitor..

Can you imagine, " I am really not sure if I am ready for this??"

More like a "non story."

 

[PatsFan3350]

Agree with his response.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Agree with his response.

As all Pats fans should...he's a competitor

I'd be excited as well. The guy joined the NFL to play, not sit on the bench every week.

Garoppolo reaction to Brady accepting suspension: 'I was excited about it'

Of course he was excited about it. He has been looking forward to this day for 10 years. These four games give him the opportunity to make some serious money in 18 months. He gave an honest answer,and the one I would have expected to hear and the answer I would have given myself. Brady is a great qb, how would anyone like their career path to be blocked by him.

This is a "take" post is what you expect to hear on sports radio.

I thought he should have qualified it but I will give him a pass. It was his first real interview and I can't blame him for either being excited or forgetting to call bullsh!t on the Brady suspension, and I have no doubt Brady will give him a pass on it.

There is not a pass that needs to be given. By Brady or anyone else.
