Prompt Wrote:In a recent interview with a well known print publication, the reporter suggested that they had some “dirt” on you, from your past. What could the reporter possibly have on you and how would you handle the situation?
As a person of sterling moral character, impeccable decision making, and a naturally wonderful personality, clearly there is nothing that I have done or will do that would ever cause problems if released in the media.
But that being said, I suppose there is a bit of good-natured trash talking about our opponents that, were it to be released, could be taken as serious rather than the fun ribbing with my teammates that it was. Getting ready for games we do manage to get a bit fired up, be really load when getting going, and maybe scream a few things about ripping heads off or stomping on the guts of our opponents. Nothing I would actually do to them of course! But, taken out of context of the locker room and moved into the context of a court room or newspaper, I could see that perhaps a reporter could think that a transcript might qualify as "dirt". I personally am fine with having said what I said - it's clearly not a real threat to the safety or well-being of anyone I played against beyond the field as allowed by the rules. But I can understand that if someone had a real axe to grind they could think that it would create some amount of trouble for me. I regret nothing (see above impeccable decision making) but I do hope that any past and future opponents are understanding in the matter.
