Rivera wishes Steve....

Funny thing was..Cam wasn't pouting like the other players. He just looked dejected. Where is all this talking about him poutingcoming from? Man, it's amazing how our media can make ish up about certain folks and folks just simply run with it like it's gospel truth. The kid can't be dejected like everyone else after losing anymore. WTF...

It's a very slippery slope the NFL is going down when they start allowing these clowns in our media to feel it's their job to dictate how these teams are to handle their players. It's does seem as if they have a certain type they like to single out and harrass.

The quicker this goes away the better imo. I think the players might tighen up as far as being open with the media is concerned. "No comment" is a good response in regard to the minor incident between Cam and Smith.

So you honestly think that this was a set up conspiracy perpetrated by Steve Smith and the National media? Are you fuging high?

No...But as I sit here watching ESPN, I'm hear Chris Mortensen talking about the sports media loving to spin stories and making them more out of a story than need be...No kidding.It was in regard to the Refs and the NFL. situation.

I don't believe that it was some sort of conspiracy on Smith part but I do believe he's well aware of the preception of Cam in the media and he simply fed it more with what he did.

A lot of teams have learn the "No comment" rule a long time ago. Those are the team you see and hear very little controversy about because they keep their stuff in house.

I'm almost 50...There is no denying that today's media have a totally different agenda from their predecessors.

Steve is pretty predictable.The guy does not like to lose.This thing will blow over ...we just need to win or at least play to our potential.

Definitely agree with Rivera. Taking that stuff public accomplishes nothing except for making a few message board posters happy.

I don't think Rivera is nearly the hard ass people think he is.
