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

[Casual fan]

The funnier way to deal with this would have been when media ask Diggs to comment on the story he says "***** you"😆

[Matt_In_NH]

She sounded tongue in cheek ish on the mic.  Our society is so sensitive. 

[Airseven]

Diggs feeling the need to post all that is quite something.

All you white knights riding to Maddy’s defense can contribute to her Go Fund Me when she’s on the unemployment line.

 

I have no idea if she’s good or bad because I don’t listen to Bills Propaganda Reporters (including Sal C). 

 

What I do know is that if you are a paid member of a franchise’s media team you DO NOT trash the star players even in jest. 

 

Why? Because some idiot will record it and post it on the internet and YOU become a key player in yet another franchise distraction.

 

That’s a fireable offense. Period. Has nothing to do with how ridiculous the whole situation is (because it’s really nothing). It’s the sheer idiocy of putting yourself and the team in a bad light when you are PAID by the team.

 

 

The white knights couldn’t actually ride in to defend Maddy because you stole all their high horses.

[RyanC883]

Diggs tweet isn’t that bad really.  I think this whole thing blows over and the two of them work it out somehow.

I don’t think you have to bring all of society into this one. Diggs has thin skin.  That simple fact explains everything.

I hope Maddy is OK,  I haven't heard a thing about her in 2 hours.

I'm not sure how it all works but I think if we get this thread to 50 pages the Bills will sign Maddy Glab.

She could sign with Tennessee because winning is more important then money .

There is so much stupid sh.it happening to this team that it's going to end up bringing everyone together in an "us against the world" mentality 

That’s one possibility, it could also lead to a bleep this I’m going home mentality too or just become a distraction and the Bills lose games they shouldn’t.

[Beast]

LOL…what a world we live in that this is even a story.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

We'll definitely find out the status of Glab on Sunday after the game. Will she do the postgame show with Tasker?

[oldmanfan]

It was a joke.  Come on now.

[zow2]

"he'll look at my face and say F-U, that's how he treats everybody"..  I mean, I don't have anything against Maddy Glab, but that's the kind of thing you say over a plate of wings in a bar while talking to a friend.  You can't risk saying that in the media room.  There are hot mics all over the place in media settings as many broadcasters have found out over the years..

 

So anyway, if what she said there is an embellished lie, then I think she will no longer be involved on the Bills media team.  And from Diggs' reaction, it seems like he never approached her in that way.

[Saint Douggie]

Lol why is everyone hyping “the hot mic” situation. The reporter thinks a football player is a diva!! What a surprise!!

[Nester]

How is she still with the team?

Another distraction at a pivotal time.

move her to the sabers but get her out of the building asap

 

 

Perhaps Terry is the problem,

Everyone who will miss Maddy Glab’s contributions to Buffalo Bills media please raise their hand.

 

That’s what I thought.

It could be worse, we could replace her with Cynthia Frelund... 

[WEATHER DOT COM]

Who was the male reporter joking around with Glab and why has he not gotten a shred of what Glab has? 
 

Was he not “unprofessional” as well?

I won't miss Maddy if they fire her

This is part of the social media problem as well. These are just 2 examples I grabbed but there are many more right now. If you don't understand why we are talking about it....it's because those that have the reach decide they want the clicks and interaction despite acting like it's not something we should care about. 

 

 

Here is Bradley. Bradley posted this minutes AFTER retweeting all of the Tweets Diggs sent out. But then he just wants to focus on the Bills on the field? Right after he amplified the issue further. Seems rather disingenuous.

 

Then you have Tim here. Tim thinks the story is ridiculous. So instead of bypassing it he sends this...and then follows it up with no less than 7 follow up interaction tweets. It's a ridiculous story that he's using as the day's Twitter content. In one he even makes it a point to say Diggs could have "let it go" when he himself cannot. Hypocritical?

 

From here there will be stories written about the whole thing and when the reporters are asked why they keep talking about it they will go on to say it's only because that's what the fans want to talk about so they are addressing it. They lay the framework of what we talk about.

 

Meanwhile Glab is going to likely be given some form of punishment, perhaps even lose her job. Diggs, who spends a lot of time in "image reconstruction mode" is going to be facing a new batch of narratives. And the Grahams and Gelbers of the world that help push the issue further and make a very small interaction that could have been forgotten about in a few days into a drug out spectacle.

 

Rather that report on this news, how about asking if there's been any progress on a Gabe Davis extension? How about digging more into why our 1st rounder from last year can't get a jersey on GameDay? How about a million other football related things that actual fans a curious about instead of the easy clicks and interaction? 

 

 

[mjd1001]

To me this shouldn't be huge story.

 

I like Diggs as a player, what I don't like is:

1.)  he could have ignored it and not made any comment. Instead he felt the need to let everyone know how hurt he is.

2.) his brother felt the need to say that he has to get somewhere safe??

 

I follow twitter and social media and these boards because I want to follow news about the team, how they play, game related and practice related stuff.  This junk by the players is what I wish I could not even have presented as something I see. (Yep, I clicked on the thread and responded, just because it is there)

 

 

[Dillenger4]

OK - she needs to be fired pronto. Very unprofessional. She works for The Bills correct? If so, she needs to be fired today. She isn't very good anyway.

Diggs and his Brother clicked on the thread too "just because it is there". Get a grip

[May Day 10]

I thought it was no big deal, and figured everyone behind the scenes would just laugh it off... but the fact that it seems to have irritated Diggs means she should be let go.  This cant happen with a Bills in-house media staffer who can be replaced in 30 seconds.

His brother actually said that?  How insanely weak of a take that is.  Diggs is a grown man, and despite coming off here as a victim he can't look in the mirror and honestly think he is a perfect person who hasn't said and done some hurtful stuff.

Get a grip. LOL, way to step up and reply to someone when they don't agree with you.

 

I stated my opinion...the people who need to 'get a grip' are the Diggs brothers who felt the need to reply the way they did to this almost non-story, and You, who has to tell others to 'get a grip' because it must give your ego a much needed victory lap to be able to talk to others that way.

 

Learn how to respond to people in a non confrontational way.

Sure it's bad that what she said was caught on an open mic, but that is the ONLY reason this is even a thing. I guarantee that similar or worse has been said in media rooms all across the league. If the Bills give her more than a slap on the wrist for this, then that would be a weak cya move on their part. Diggs chiming in on social media certainly didn't help, but was also not a surprise given how much of a thin-skinned diva he is (which, I admit, is par for the course for superstar WRs).

 

I have no desire to seek out what his brother may have said on social media, but if what I read above is true...ffs.

You ain't kidding about Diva WRs.  Minnesota got tired of his diva-ness.   Another example was A.J. Brown last night in Philly.  Up 27-14 late and he's going at it with his QB, and he's disgruntled after 2 games for not being targeted enough.

Somehow the national media will use this story to write fictitious trade rumors

I'm still trying to figure out what it is about Diggs that makes people so mad.  Yeah, he's emotionally volatile.  But so what.  He's extremely good, he obviously wants to win, he's not a me-first guy in the way that some "diva" type players are, and he's never actually done anything legitimately bad, like slapping his girlfriend around or running over a pedestrian while loaded.  At some point, it stops being "Diggs can't get along with other people" are more about our own media not being able to get along with other people.  Tim Graham is a toddler who just stirs up ***** in a more conventionally-acceptable way than Diggs does.  The difference is that Diggs is good at the job that he's being paid to do, and he takes it seriously.

[Brand J]

I didn’t think it was a big deal at the time I heard it. I was expecting much more since the story was starting to gain traction. Calling for Maddy to be fired because Diggs was upset… I mean, I think it’s all a bit much. We live in an era where everyone is uber sensitive and always looking to cry about something. Her comments weren’t so incendiary that it should cost her everything.

Glab messed up. The rule in any media is to treat every mic like it's hot. She will face zero consequences for it. She is a female in a male dominated field. She would have to fire herself. Plus, management feels the apology was enough or she would have an empty office by now. Not happy with it, or her apology (which could have been spun better).

 

People show you who they are. You can either believe them when they show you, or you buy what they are trying to sell you on. Diggs wants people to think he's a strong leader who demands excellence from his teammates. His actions have shown that he will pretend a problem doesn't exist for an entire offseason and then have a heated exchange with McDermott first day of minicamp. He will claim to want to keep things in house, but cryptically live tweet his every emotion. He says he wants to retire here, but is fine with his brother constantly chirping on social media about a trade (that isn't feasible for either team). He claims to be an up front person who treats people with respect but instead of addressing an issue with a reporter directly, waits a day to tell the internet about how damaged his feelings are. 

 

Diggs is a great talent. You have to walk on eggshells to keep him happy. That is what we will deal with. Just like how Josh will have a Fitzmagic turnover game every now and then. As long as the pros outweigh the cons, they're not going anywhere.

If you listen the recording, he obviously says more - specifically in the 24 - 28 second mark of the video... although the only words I can make out are "Stef" and "get your ass." It's gargled and difficult to hear but it is more than "Go get Diggs." Glab is trying to save face and not trying to throw anyone else under the bus.

 

IMO

I hate everything about this.

 

I am at the point where I am afraid to even see what is happening.  

 

It would be great if the team won sunday and then just quietly went about their business next week.  Maybe even some of the players skip their media sessions even if there fined..

 

just have a drama free week and a game.
