Come on. Anybody ever seen this on the sidelines before? When Drew gets mad, he doesn't yell or throw things or scream at his linemen like certain other famous quarterbacks and players do. He just gets that p-ssed off, determined look on his face. I see that look on his face in a lot of these comments, determination, quiet confidence, not being rattled by what's happening. He's obviously sad that Payton's not around, he misses him -- why not show it? He knows Payton in exile will read it, right?
Besides, who is he talking to? Drew is talking to Peter King and playing him like a fiddle -- give him exactly what he wants, and not a cent more. He knows that Loomis, Vitt and Payton won't talk to King. It's a setup. You think Drew doesn't know who he's talking to, doesn't measure his words carefully when he is talking to different people and different audiences? You think he doesn't know how to manipulate the media? He's playing this up for sympathy, folks, and letting King look like a dick, on purpose.
Drew is trying to turn public opinion against Goodell, and against the 16-game suspension. Since Payton has no real appeal process, the only way left to possibly get him back is through public relations. If Goodell starts losing in court, and the tide of public opinion on Bountygate swings to the point where it gets embarrassing to Goodell, he might save face by reducing the suspensions on the coaches/GM by a few games. It's a long shot, but it's the only shot we have.
If anything, the more quiet and reserved Drew becomes as the season gets closer, the better I feel.
