Reggie blames Superdome turf for struggles

So, to sum this all up he stated that turf contributed to his injuries because there is a "big difference" playing on turf as opposed to grass.

He did not however refer to the many studies that show there is only a small difference in favor of grass. He also did not claim turf contributed to poor play.

ESPN then jumped on it and put out stats showing his performance on both surfaces which had nothing to do with the interview. People then assumed he said he played better on grass.

You forgot the part where ESPN said he "said" his injury probs are due to the Superdome turf or at least incinuated so.

ESPN spinning it like a top in a tornado.
