Rivera wishes Steve....

[ReadyorNot]

#Panthers coach Ron Rivera, upon further review, wishes Steve Smith would have kept his criticism of Cam Newtonin-house. Smith got on Newton last week for sulking at the end of the Giants' loss. Said Rivera: "Honestly, I just wish it was a discussion that would have been kept between the two of them. I don't think it needs to be out there. But that's what happened, so I'll leave it at that."

Talking to the media about wanting Steve to keep his criticisms in-house instead of keeping it in-house...

[Kakarot]

Yep, it should've been kept in-house.

ugh... perpetuating this just seems like a mistake

Rivera continues to show what a genius man child of a coach he is.

I grow more disappointed with this hire everyday, despite it starting as my favorite HC hire we've ever had.

[Darth Biscuit]

Was he asked the question or did it come out on it's own when he was talking... two totally different things.

somebody's poisoned the water hole...

I think Steve Smith did it right but ofcourse the coach would want it kept in house..... But yea the media and outsiders like us would have thought... Are these dudes scared to tell Cam to man the fk up... You are a supreme talent... You have to be professional with that.

I hate when athletes come out with stuff publicly but sometimes its needed.
