mrags Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 After reading this I thought of this scene: Anyone who has seen the movie will remember, the character couldn't do basic math or put a sentence together outside of the film room. As long as he keeps making plays and stays off the police blotter I don't care how he talks. omg I love Alvin Mack. One of the best football movie characters ever. "You the little mother f#%ker that got my baby sister pregnant. Now your @$$ is gonna pay!!!" Can we clone him? just a fantastic idea. Can we please have Bruce Smith sign some kind of waver to have himself cloned??? Would be the first football team owned person on the planet. Would be a fantastic idea.

Prickly Pete Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Agreed about Manuel, but can you blame him for wanting to come off as overly-polished. The hype-machine and drafting process for QBs in particular is brutal these days. I wasn't criticizing (and if you read my later comments, you'll see that). I'm just pointing it out to contrast, that linebackers probably don't get that kind of media training. I'm GLAD that Manuel is polished, and understand why QB's NEED to be coached on dealing with the media. One of the best things about Manuel is that he is polished, and cautious with the media, but not phony.

ajzepp Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 As I was watching that, I was hoping that toward the end he would throw his arms up in the air and say, "IT'S IN THE HOLE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Great insight into what kind of guy Kiki is in this article: http://www.oregonliv...r_kiko_a_1.html "See the ball, get ball, eat ball. Eat the ball carrier. ...," " Aliotti said. "I love his mentality. And I think that he's become a more cerebral ballplayer being around Michael Clay. You can see just so much confidence with Kiko as the year has gone on. This guy is a very, very good football player." Best quote ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't get it, the criticism. Kiko spoke well, was clear and honest--no BS or filler, and just looked at the person asking the question. Do we want all the BS and cliches we hear too often? Marrone seems to have the same good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLynchTrain Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Sounds like he was speaking with an intensity that shows right after playing balls to the wall for 60 minutes. Sullivan mentioned that he was shy in his post game, a complete 180 from how he plays. You know Grumblelord would surely let us know if he thought Kiko was talking down to the our wise local media types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I don't care how he talks. The kid can play. Anyone else think he looks like Mel Gibson? I bet the ladies go crazy for Kiko...definitely a dude you'd want to roll to the clubs with Who is his competition for defensive rookie of the year? This guy is the clear cut favorite so far right? Maybe Star Louatelei or however you spell it, DT from the Panthers? Living in Cbus, we have Chris Spielman on the radio once/week talking college and NFL. He says this all.the.time. Love it, very similar approach. Haha...CBus!! God how I hate Ohio State...used to revel in their defeats when I lived there, lol... Luckily I was far away from campus up off Schrock and Westerville Rd cause they got a little psycho with car tipping and setting stuff on fire after losses near campus, especially when it was Michigan...
