49ers Douchenozzle Safety Eric Reid Hangs Up On Dan Patrick For Asking About Getting Toldozed

Was just watching The Dan Patrick Show and he was asking some questions that you could sense were making Reid a bit uncomfortable. Per usual, when asked about players they'd be facing against the Seahawks, Reid gave extremely generic answers as if he might divulge too much if he did otherwise. He continued with generic answers and Patrick kept pressing with uncomfortable questions served with a side of jovial laughter, to loosen Reid up, as Patrick usually does (and does well I might add).

Well, Patrick started asking more pressing questions because the interview was quickly becoming a vanilla trainwreck... he then asks, did Reid close his eyes when he has to tackle bigger guys. Reid says he'd be lying if he said he didn't close his eyes on EVERY tackle. Patrick asked, who was the ONE guy he knew it would hurt when he had to tackle him. Reid's responses started getting more and more delayed and generic. Long pauses before replying... it got to where it felt like any answer Reid would give to the round of questions would make him less manly and look like a punnani to his peers... you could sense it was going bad fast.

So, Patrick says, what about the Tolbert hit? Reid snaps back quicker than before, and with attitude, "WHAT ABOUT IT?!?!" Patrick says, what does that one feel like? What are you thinking when that happens?

...long pause...

As a viewer/listener, you really wonder what's going on and why he hasn't said anything. He paused for a few questions before that were awkward (like asking about Harbaugh's Wal-Mart pants lol), but he eventually responded, albeit generically. So, you still expect him to answer.

The pause is the longest yet...

Patrick breaks the silence and says, "like that? That's what it was like?" It became clear Reid had hung up on him. Patrick's producer scrambled to call him back, and with the phone to ear and finger rapidly dialing numbers, Patrick says laughingly, "Don't... don't... let it go... " One of the other producers humorously quips, "I'm not talking trousers or concussions."

And yet, another victim of the TOLDOZER is revisited.

That's also why I didnt feel bad in the least for Reid when he got Toldozed. What a dick... have a sense of humor about it.

Most guys would laugh it off and say "yeah, I got trucked, it happens"... at least that's the mature way to handle it.

Maybe he has a bit of an ego.

That would be my approach. Laugh it off and make light of it for the sake of public perception. But, it felt like the whole interview he was extremely guarded as though any answer he might give that gives credit to an opponent would degrade himself in the process. It was really weird.

Exactly, I mean it happened and we all saw it - his daddy even wrote the Panthers a note thanking Tolbert for kneeling next to his baby boy after he trucked his sorry ass, so not talking about it won't make people forget it happened. 

 

Kid sounds like a douche, but he plays for the 49ers so none of us should be surprised. 

 

GO SEAHAWKS.

I got blasted pretty good a few times when I played.  Heck, had a guy take a run and spear me right in the chest when a play was pretty much over.  Knocked the wind right outta me.

 

I laugh about those stories now. 

 

Most football players aren't afraid or ashamed to talk about times when they were on the losing end of something,  Heck, you'll hear Hall of Fame guys tell stories like that all the time.  It happens to the best of them.

 

If he's so insecure that he's embarrassed about it, that's on him.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
