So, I Found The Reporter That Tried To Start A Controversy With Cam

There was no "elaborate" comment, only the "back it up" comment. No one asked Cam to elaborate, this Sullivan guy changed the story when he wrote it to "elaborate".  

Watch the damn video fool. Cam was specifically asked why he didn't want to elaborate, likely from Sullivan who says he's the one who asked that (and there's no reason at all to believe he's lying about that).

Yes - there was - listen to the press conference.  There is a clear question to elaborate and cam answered - then someone else said back it up.

So then who asked the original question?  Because to me, the voice that asked the question and the voice that asked to elaborate sounded the same.  But like I said earlier, the voice that said to back it up was different.  According to this guy's article, he is the one who asked the question and he is the one who asked him to elaborate.

I kind of see a bunch of something made here about nothing.

Some on twitter are saying the Original question was asked by Mitch Albom. Not sure about that..but ehhh

I did watch the video "fool". If I didn't hear something a reporter said because they're so quiet in those videos, that's another story.

You guys are taking what was said out of context, but I am not going to explain it to you. Needless to say that political correctness has been one of Cam's strong suits. 

The reporter telling Cam that Cam "brought it up" (he didn't) and that he is required to "back it up" (he isn't) is being taken "out of context"?

I stopped watching those evening ESPN shows for years because they were insufferable. Then I found it on one day and Bomani Jones was on.

 

Love that guy. Totally makes that whole half anhour block tolerable if there's nothing else on. 

ESPN gave him a radio show at 4 nationally and it's awesome. Fresh perspective, no bs. Bomani is good stuff

"Back it up" means to justify your words. "Elaborate" means to give more details. There's a difference. One implies there's something wrong with what was said, the other is a neutral request for more information. It's that simple. 

You would think that these guys who inevitably defend journalists no matter what would be more educated and aware about the meaning and usage of, you know, WORDS.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
