(S40) PT #1 - Media Mayhem

After recent announcement from the Kansas City Coyotes that Jason Steele had been named a team captain; Vicki Vale, reporter for GCN, hurled a scandalous accusation at the young rookie, causing an uproar among Coyotes management. Openly questioning the first round pick and demanding to know, Viki asked "Are you The Batman, Mr. Steele?"  

GM Domffl immediately demanded the removal of Ms. Vale from the team locker room. Jason Steele only had this to say, "I want to categorically deny any and all accusations of me possibly being The Batman. I'm a football player, this is my life, my passion. I eat, sleep and breathe Coyotes football. I simply just don't have the time to be off doing anything ridiculous like being The Batman." 

Later in the evening, eye witnesses report having seen Jason Steele in downtown Gotham. However the rookie was present and accounted for at team practice the following day. Coyotes management declined to comment when pressed on the matter.

During Benjamin Duvernay's very first presser as a fully fledged player on the Portland Pythons roster, a question was asked that rubbed Duvernay the wrong way due to the reporter being a well known critic of the Pythons. "Do you feel that you have what it takes to be competitive in this league?" Although he thought it was a valid question at face value, the tone in which the reporter asked it made him feel like he was back in Middle school where he was bullied. Despite this, Duvernay had to swallow the pride that all too easily could have arisen from being the 20th pick of the draft and simply reply, "anyone who puts in the hard work to practice competing, scheming, conditioning, and truly becoming a student of the game will find that they will have what it takes to compete. I feel I have done that along with many other players in this league." The reporter did not say another word to him that week.

Reporter: So, in the Prospect Bowl, we noticed you didn't have any tackles, but recorded a Pick Six, what is the deal? Are you not willing to fill gaps in the run game? Are you scared of contact? Were you nursing an injury?

Garth: First off, if you have played football as long as I have, you have to love contact. As I always say, the body craves contact. I would just say that my team in the prospect bowl, front 7 especially, played a great game. Yes, there were some plays that I would like to have back, but that's football. You have to move past it and grow. I can promise that Norfolk has drafted a player that will do anything to help the team win. Whether that be having 20 tackles in a game, or having a big interception. I am not concerned with my lack of tackles in the prospect bowl, but do understand the outside sentiment. I just want Norfolk fans to know that they have a guy in the back end of the defense that will put his body on the line for the team.

“Man, are you really asking me about my play in my first two years in the ISFL?”

Alright man, we will get into this, yeah I only have 8 sacks in two years but you got to realize that moving up from college football to pro football isn’t as easy as some make it look, I’m out there day in and day out busting my ass to get better and I still have to come up here and hear talentless writers like yourself criticize my play on the field. Tell me Joe, if you were in the same position as me sitting up here and in the playing shape that it doesn’t look like you are in, how many sacks would you have in 32 games? I’m guessing not only would have exactly zero stats but I’m also guessing your fat ass would be riding pine and unless the whole defensive line came down with the violent shits, that you would probably never see the field while I could probably go out and do your job very easily and and because of who I am, people would actually want to read what I write about players because unlike you, I’ve actually played the sport before. Next Question.

I'm just here so I don't get fined.  During my media availability post draft, one of the questions I got asked was about my decision to stay down with the Birddogs one more season. It seemed pretty insane to me to think that someone who has a job in the media for this league would have such a basic misunderstanding of how things work. Obviously I didn't choose to stay down, my newly drafted parent club, Belin,  is the one that made that decision as they already have a very good running back (Jay Cue Jr.) leading the way this season.  Now obviously, I don't mind staying down, I'm happy to get some more playing time and work on building my skills before I make it to the big leagues, so don't get me wrong.  But I was mostly just shocked that the media member wouldn't udnerstand thats what was happening.  So for the last time, I don't make these decisions, I just show up where I'm told to show up and I run the ball into the endzone.
