All they do is fine you if you don't make yourself available for media...If I was Benson I would tell all players and coaches to refuse any interviews and he'll foot the bill for any fines this season. F@#$ the media....

The player contract may state they have to make themselves available to the media, but does not state they have to give them any information.

An agreement by the players and coaches to give them a "No Comment" or "That's a good question, but I have no response", or just plain slience (just stare back at them). would satisfy the "available to media" requirement".

The clause states they have to "be available to the media", not have to speak to the media. The right to Free Speech also includes the right NOT TO SPEAK.

That non-act would do more than any other action(s) by the players, coaches, and organization.

Why to talk to the reporters........err.......journalists.....err.......????

This is like those TMZ d-bags getting butthurt when celebrities won't talk to them lol. Peter King is garbage, absolutely worthless.

Your a dirt bag Peter King.

ChrisXVI · 07-31-2012, 03:49 PM

I'd like to know how in the hell Peter King considers himself a journalist when his job is to make predictions... Ponder that for a second; it's his JOB to make PREDICTIONS. When did predicting what team will win the Super Bowl become journalism?!

Do not forget that the word is that Goodell put a "gag order" on the front office personnel disciplined in this case. I know, he has denied that, but several sources have said that is what they were told.

But, why would Goodell lie? Easy! Because it comes so easy.

If Drew Brees call you a dick, you're definitely a dick.

Acceptable Q&A

How are you today? "Fine"
How have practices gone so far: "fine"
How difficult will it be to play with out your head coach this season?
"I refuse to glamorize or speculate on what has transpired this off season or what may come of the future so that entertainment columnists have something to put into their daily blogs that are framed as journalism."

"I had bacon for breakfast if you are interested.... not exciting enough for you?"

"Believes"- he just can not stay away from speculation can he?

Assumption - We give a flying fk what he "believes".
