Anyone Watching The Post-Game Rivera Presser?

Your link is private.

Dammit...   I should've went to sleep 4 hours ago lol.   Should work now.

I had a feeling that maybe they didn't want to post it on the official site, partly because it was relatively short and mostly uninformative, but also because Joe pretty much turned it into a Dutch Oven.

So, you're welcome huddle... A couple of more observations:  notice how Rivera stops making eye contact with Joe after that initial exchange, that is when he starts sighing, rolling his eyes, and letting out a deep breath after he finishes answering him like it took a lot of will power lol.   Also, I did not realize it earlier, but Joe goes back to the injury questions and asks about Kalil, Rivera briefly answers it and then walks off as Joe starts asking about Tillman.   The added bonus is that Rivera is smiling as he gives his walk-off answer lol. 

wasn't private for me... thanks.  Big Ron clearly wasn't happy with joe's questions right off the bat lol.  Let's hope he coaches each Sunday with the wrath of 1000 anti-Joe's in his soul

I'm convinced that Joe is PU. He just doesn't stop...

That was painful to watch. I bet all the other reporters think he is a tool too.

This is the second week in a row that Rivera was both visually and audibly irritated with Joe Person.  It was extremely uncomfortable and seems to revolve around Joe's insistence that Rivera disclose what the exact injuries from the game are.  Rivera has told him two weeks in a row that he doesn't know until after the presser, but Joe continues to press him.  Rivera argued with him and insisted that he didn't know anything and that he keeps telling him this...  But, Joe wouldn't give up, lol.

Finally, when Joe moved on to ask non-injury questions, Rivera audibly, and LOUDLY sighed as Joe was speaking and rolled his eyes and then started answering his questions before Joe even finished asking them, interrupting him in the process.  Then, Joe goes back to injuries and asks about Kalil.  Rivera is irritated again.  As Rivera was walking off the podium to end the presser, Joe asks for an update on Tillman's injury from last week lol.

I know, worthless without video, but I'm guessing it should be up on the official site soon.

I think Kalil, Tillman injury questions are fair game.  In game stuff is pointless.  A coach literally has no info on that....so I get the irritation

Agreed, but Rivera had enough right off the bat once Joe badgered him with the in-game injury questions and unsuccessfully tried to work around it by picking his brain on what it looked like, so that's on Joe for asking those later and/or following him pissing Rivera off.  And like I said, I watched the presser last week and Joe did the same thing, which is why Rivera seemed defensive immediately.

And it's one thing to ask hard questions, but it's another to not get an answer and then basically call the coach you cover for a living, a liar.

He sounds like an arrogant twat. He must be a sports journalist.

Person should of asked him why he opted to sit most starters and play a handful.

Namely, Norman and KK.  Can't really afford either 

[Proudiddy]

Yeah that's what made it even more tense/awkward, when he basically questioned Rivera's strategy there with Norman playing and then asked why didn't anyone else play, when everyone else at the position did lol.

IMO Rivera's strategy should be questioned.  Person was right in that. 

Those other guys that played aren't locked in starters.
