Rivera's post game presser

[JawnyBlaze]

Ooohweemayne Coach wasn't fuging around.  He took about 3 or 4 reporters and mushroom stamped their heads.  Don't have a link, saw it on NFL Network.  When I find a link I'll update OP.

I don't even know what you said.

[PantherBoy95]

Yeah it was nasty.

 

Very Cam Newton, "Donkey Kong Suh and my former Auburn teammate"-esque.

 

But a lot more firm...for good reason.

Can we get some details?

[lindseyj14]

Yeah, he was basically yelling at them with that crazy facial expression. It looked like a dad scolding his kid.

Looks like Rivera has a beef with the organization.  It's been said the decision to deactivate Hardy at the last minute was Richardson's.  Rivera went into this week giving Hardy the majority of the snaps in practice.  For them to make that decision at the last minute could have cost us on defense today.  These guys just went out there and played with heart.

First question was about Hardy.  Ron said something to the tune of "First of all, we played a helluva game and we need to give credit to the guys who had great performances" and went on to discuss every facet of the game before finally addressing the Hardy issue.  He said he made the decision, and then reporters kept needling the issue and he kept repeating the same response.  After a few rounds of that, he was like "ok look guys, this is a sensitive issue and we're handling it with as much dignity as we can.  I'd appreciate it if you guys did the same."  Much more to it than that, but that's the gist.

Shouldn't you be getting someone another beer or something? I used to respect you as a poster, but lately you have disappointed.

Rivera said the decision was his that it was in the best intrests of team.
