Reed83HOF Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Question: how do you know Wawrow tweeted Terry Pegula? (and what's the source on the 27 candidates who turned down the Browns?) Sorry I went to bed jw texted Terry after the presser and Terry called him. jw did indeed tweet that. I posted it in another thread somewhere.... LOL the Brownies..wasn't it like 7 candidates or something before they settled on Pettine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Okay Road Hack! @mikerodak If Doug Whaley is going to decline interviews and only speak when required, he should stop accusing reporters of creating "narratives." If you don't talk to me I'll make schitt up. Exactly - THIS is the reason the media is upset. They aren't getting any quotes so they generate controversy for its own sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I disagree. i think he came off as having no respect for the reporters and didn't really care to answer their questions. It was clear from the minute he went up there that he was just there to spin and dodge all the questions. I don't think he necessarily needed to prep for avoiding giving any answers. Even though you disagree with my interpretation, you agree Whaley isn't "clueless" -- which is what ScottLaw posted. And I stand by my earlier assertion that a well-crafted initial statement about his (lack of) involvement in the Rex firing decision would have essentially castrated the Buffalo News bulls who were waiting to charge.

"Press conference ends with Zimmer being asked how many free agents Vikings have and another reporter saying, "F***ing Google it" Haha awesome. And as much as people point to Jed Yorks PC, those reporters didn't all gang up and ask Jed why he didn't fire himself 20 times. They didn't ask him 30 times if firing Harbaugh was a mistake.

They asked Whaley repeatedly about the Rex firing and what input he had. And kept going and going and going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but that doesnt mean he's clueless. It means the Bills FO hates the press as much as we think they do, and therefore were simply going through the motions yesterday to piss off the local TBN idiots. And frankly, Im fine with that. Unlike seemingly most other fans who are outraged, I've seen/heard press conferences before and know that teams NEVER give inside information or real answers. Call it what you want, "disrespect for media", "coach-speak", it's all going to be a lot of hot air one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 "After the events of last week and especially after Whaley’s press conference on Monday, it’s never been more obvious that the Bills—who haven’t been to the postseason since the end of the 1999 season and have finished above .500 only twice over the past 17 seasons—need an organizational plan, a blueprint, of how they will seek to become a winning franchise. They’ve shown no indications that they have one." http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/01/03/nfl-buffalo-bills-terry-pegula-doug-whaley-rex-ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
