Maddy Glab? Possibly trash talking Diggs on hot mic - Diggs responds via tweet

[Andy1]

This is dumb.

[Low Positive]

Thom Brenneman lost his job as the Reds play by play guy and all his national gigs (including NFL) because of something caught by a hot mic. Now, what he said was a lot worse than this.

I love Diggs and don’t mind him being him. I want Allen to get some of that dawg mentality.

You left out the last part, "that's who he treats everyone"

 Well he has a right to treat anyone who demands he get his ass over here like some servant to be ordered around.  It isn't like this other person suggested that she ask  Stephon when it would be a good time for whatever interview they w a no to get done. I mean she does alotvofvthe fluff pr behind the scenes stuff to give players exposure.  If she even jokes with the players in that manner it best be because they regard her as part of the gang and then that FU can be in a good friend  mentality.  It's not as common to have on staff media be that chummy with players perhaps but this is Buffalo where we do have that rep if good neighbors.

 

 

Probably the only people he'd never respond that way to would be those he views as authority he grants as part of his employment.  That be Pegulas  and Beane  and coaching staff. E1 else if in the tight-knit group  it's FU.  Not the young scouting intern office boy that's the college roommate of someone with nfl connections.

A few comments about Diggs doing media a favor, or not having to do interviews etc. 

 

Guaranteed he has media responsibilities in his contract. So when the Bills schedule interview time, many times he’s contractually obligated. All these sit downs in front of a mic aren’t some favor or good will. Nobody would do daily media unless obligated.

Two of these things are probably true

It's our jobs as citizens to make sure no one messes up and if they do we need to take everything from them. Hot take right there....but is it really?

[ChasBB]

I still want to know who said to Von Miller when he approached the mic something like "are you gonna wear those sunglasses" and then Von Miller took them off, but commented that "they're comfortable", clearly annoyed at the person who said that.  Buffalo sure ain't LA, is it Von?  Ridiculous - let Von Miller be - if he wants to wear sunglasses during the press conf, then so ***** what!

[QLBillsFan]

Be cool if Diggs down plays this. Otherwise the MM will add this to all the other supposed drama. I’m guessing he won’t.

What am I missing here? What the hell does she have to apologize for lol?

I think she felt like it was the right move, but I think the right move would have been not to apologize.  I really doubt Stef would have been bothered by this. With the apology, now she actually looks more like she did something wrong.

Oh Maddie
 

You are the cute everyone’s little sister type of reporter

 

Don’t mess that up

She’s in a bad spot if she doesn’t. But I get your position. Again, if Diggs has a decent relationship with her he can squash this. If he doesn’t she could be whacked and it will add unnecessary organizational stress. If she’s an ass pain to the players he won’t.

[Captain Hindsight]

TIL the bills have a reporter named Maddy Glab

[zow2]

Cringe.  Don’t apologize.  and Diggs, we know how you can be

I find her voice grating and her insights kinda common sense and lackluster. Id much prefer the Sals of the world than a rah rah fan whos happy to be included hired by the team. If it was a guy Id feel the same way. She came from college and IMO, she still has a very college/student reporter feel to her work. Shes seemingly gotten better during her time on the radio, but it still has an amateur feel

Funny thing is that Sal is actually the rah rah fan and Maddy is a Bears fan (or was a few years ago at least - not sure if that allegiance was changed or not).

Diggs will leave in 2 years when he is too old and too expensive. Enjoy 14 while he’s here.

Maddy can go she wants to be in a bigger market with better male strippers. She tired of beer bellies & chicken wing guts. She wants that Latin lover.

She's not even upset over it, if you actually listen to the clip it is said in a very "kiddingly" way.  In context she is basically acknowledging she knows Diggs doesn't really want to have to talk to the media but by no means is she being malicious or aggressive about it. 

 

Much ado about nothing but once again something that is being blown out of proportion on social media 

She’s awful anyway, and this makes her seem like just another entitled media type.

Sports reporters never have and never will encounter 100% cheery and cooperative athletes. If she’s still salty about that fact after being here for years at this point, she needs to either get over it or find a new line of work.

I didn’t get that impression at all from her. My take on it was that the Bills media crew were looking to get a player at the mic, post-practice. It’s not as if they were targeting Alec Anderson or Reid Ferguson to pepper with questions for their columns.
It sounded like they wanted Diggs, and Maddy was emphasizing the point to someone that the moody player may or may not be cooperative today. It was that simple. 

Anyone who’s ever had to perform at an elite level should understand that your head is in a different space before, during, and directly after the event. Everything else is just noise. Diggs is ultra focused. He might be the sweetest guy away from the field after he’s had time to decompress, but with the jersey still wet from sweat he’s still going to be lingering mentally in that space.

I listened to it a few more times and agree with you - I don’t think it was any sort of serious criticism.

[BillsFanSD]

Are we back in middle school or something?  So what if some reporter doesn't like a particular player?  Who cares.

[May Day 10]

I find this to be no big deal.

 

 

And if she doesn't like it here, she can go back to Tennessee and see how she likes it there

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

[RunTheBall]

Bad look for a bad reporter when you are on the team payroll and talking sht about a star player even if it’s in jest. I don’t think Stef could care less about Mandy Glab’s opinion on anything and he won’t acknowledge this little hiccup. Why anyone listens to any Bills reporter paid by the team (Sal C included he’s the worst) is beyond me. They are paid propagandists and we get nothing insightful from them. 

[Your Brown Eye]

I'm actually disappointed it wasn't worse. When I first read about it or saw that it happened, I thought man it's gotta be bad, but this? C'mon...

In unrelated news the bills have announced Madden Glab is moving on from obd to pursue other opportunities. 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Fire her and get someone much hotter

[DrDawkinstein]

Much ado about nothing.

 

But just goes to show how many sharks are in the water for this team. Media turning on even each other just to create a story of dysfunction for the Bills.

 

Whoever broke this had to be aware they would be doing far more damage to Maddy's career than Stef's.

This is considered trash talk?  Diggs probably thinks it was funny as hell what she said.  Whoever released the footage and tried to stir something up clearly has a ax to grind with her or the organization.  Was Sullivan in the room?
