Does anybody have video of this? I just watched the press conference on the panthers' website and it looks like they cut it out.

yes, I just finished watching as well.  Saw the encounter with Person on NFL.com.  Not surprised Panthers edited it out.

I think Ron was at least halfway expecting Person to bring it up. It was immediately clear that he had no intention of letting him pull that crap.

RR had at least two teammates with the Bears with serious life altering concussion injuries.  He obviously takes it personally when HIS players are involved.  His "golden shower" treatment of Person was well derserved.

We've discussed this before," the Panthers coach said. "I went through and answered all your questions yesterday. I gave you all your information. In fact, I understood you called the league to make sure we do what we're supposed to.

"We follow the rules here. Don't question my integrity when it comes to these things. Understand that. I try to be as forthright as I can when I answer your questions and when I'm doing that, the least I could do is get the common courtesy that I'm being believed. I take it very seriously."

Rivera continued: "And it is not up to me to make those decisions and these calls. It's up to the doctors. Just so you understand that. I'm being very very upfront with this and very forward because it does bother me. I'm not the doctor. I'm not the one who makes these decisions. We have a protocol. We follow the protocol. We've had players stay out for, what, three, four weeks and at no point did we force that young man or onto the field because we believed him. So please, do not question me on this."

 

Way to go Ron!!!!!  Love his response...want to see the video.

Has to be about the dumbest I have heard in a while.  He needs to be reassigned.  He has burned his Panther bridge while standing on it.  I bet his hair gel exploded.

Someone needs to make a GIF of Ron's  ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh moment!

I hope they give Joe the Gantt treatment, and assign him to Winthrop volleyball.

It wasn't that they were unacceptable, it was that he had answered everything yesterday and didn't want to go through it all again.  

They were perfectly acceptable when it was an issue, by asking about it again you're not just repeating the question (and being fuging annoying) but you trying to take any validity out of the answer that he gave previously.  He was trying to pry more information out of Rivera and big boss wasn't having it.

I suspect people like Voth and JJ dont want to publicly criticise a fellow media member, even if he is a moron

Probably true

I fuging love Ron.  That is straight MAN style right there.  He is the type of person I strive to be everyday.  Be personable and treat everyone you meet with respect, but if someone crosses or tries to use you then bring wrath down upon them.
