Reporters can be jerks, no matter where they are

I was watching the NFL Network highlights show, Gameday Final and they had Zack Wilson talking to the NY press about facing the New England defense and the last question they had was a reporter asking “So, you weren’t like seeing ghosts out there?”

 

Did Jerry Sullivan move to NY?

 

While it was funny, I think it was stupid and juvenile to be asking this kid.

Geez, between the organization, the fans and the press that kid hasn't a ghost of a chance.

That would be very tame by Sulky's standards.  Seeing ghosts is a very common question.

Sam Darnold says.... Glad I'm out of there!

They deserve the misery they create in the media there. Darnolds looked good down here in Car, nice to see for the kid. I couldn't cheer for a Jet but he seemed like a good kid, enjoyed seeing him the last 2weeks

Did you see the Twitters when Sam Darnold got traded?  Sam's Cali friends including Josh Allen and Kyle Allen threw him a surprise party, with a Panthers hat sitting on the the table and a bunch of blue and silver and black balloons

I didn't that's awesome! Gotta see if I can find anything

Look, he could be digging ditches somewhere, being a coal miner or steel worker , or an orderly in a hospital facing covid exposure daily. If he can’t handle getting asked a question by a reporter with zero impact on his real life , he needs to grow up and be an adult.  Adults face real danger and risks daily and work very hard for very little return compared to these NFL guys who many times have been pampered because of their athletic talents.

.  I’m sorry , but I know too many other people in life dealing with bigger life issues than facing a sarcastic reporter. If that really bothers you , maybe you need to look in a little deeper and appreciate real issues in life. Sorry to be blunt , no offense intended , but really is Wilson’s emotional health a true concern you have?  Guy gets paid a lot of money to play, answer questions ( that can’t hurt you in real life unless you are lying under oath), and he is an entertainer, nothing more, nothing less.

i thought the same thing. He handled it well. But it was total bush league.

 

BTW, Wilson looks like he is 12 years old.

I hated Cam Newton, but not the Panthers. It's not that I like Darnold so much, I just love an up yours to arrogant "NJ" aka NYC fans and media. Darnold's success is providing this. Also can't knock the Panthers because.... where else would we get future Bills players? They're our pipeline baby! 😃

You feel better getting that off your chest? You realize a poster made the comment, Wilson didn't say anything, yet you took the opportunity to rag on him.  Nobody said he couldn't handle the press, he didn't say his job is more important than other people. Give it a rest.

It's still some d-baggery. It doesn't provide anything. You're right hes in a privileged position but these players take a physical beating, their brains aren't right after playing, transitioning back into civilian life has gotta be hard on these guys.

 

Things can always be worse. Coal miners could always be in a war torn country, or a country in severe poverty and nobody is going to be on board with putting them down mentally. These guys are kids, and being attacked by your home media is a low blow. I could see attacking someone like Manziel with his antics, but Wilson seems like a likeable kid, working his tail off. If he fails it's not for not trying, no need to pile on a 21yr old

Imagine if things got REALLY insane - Like winning a road division game 35-0 where your QB threw a pair of touchdown passes and all people can talk about is how how the aforementioned QB didn't "play well."

It's not all that people can talk about, but it's a thing and it needs to get better.

 I feel fine.  Yep , even better as I don’t let a reporter questioning someone I have no real contact with in life bother me. As with your comment , it has no effect on me in real life as there are way bigger issues. Yep, I feel fine.

"civilian life"??  He's playing a kid's game.

 

Anyway, this was not an "attack".  Stop.

What I meant wasn't really all the confusing. At this level it's hardly a kids game either. I'm sure it's enjoyable at times but it's about as high pressure grueling of a job as you can have.

Also, it's was a jerk question to ask. The NY media is known for attacking its players, not anything new for them, hard to argue against. The dude is a kid, working his butt off wanting to be good. Treat him with respect. Nobody would've defended this if it were Josh in Buffalo his rookie year. Its def Bush league
