Why was that such a bad question? Seems like he was giving Cam a layup to talk positively about his buddies. I'm fine with Cam only wanting to talk about his team, but seemed like a harmless question. 

PS...I know it's edgy to hate on him but I prefer to just keep it real - Joe's a pretty good dude. 

They are just dull

Even imitating Person's voice later in the clip, love it. 

That was hilarious.  However...I did not like Cam's demeanor from the start.  Someone get me in to have a talk with him.

You don't like Joe because he's dull?

In fairness, it's more with who's asking the question than the question itself.

I don't like Joe because he seems like a walking cliche of sports reporter questions. Like he has a QB wristband of retarded questions he looks at and doesn't give any thought to it at all.

Maybe it's just envy because he gets to sit in and ask questions to Cam and he sounds like he should be working at the fuging DMV doing boat and watercraft registrations.

Fair point, which makes it seem even more likely that Cam just doesn't care for him regardless of the questions he asks.

That was friggin awesome.  First he school him, then make fun of him for not running in the 40 yard dash event...followed up by "I know you have a hectic schedule over there at that Charlotte Observer."  Lol good for you Cam

I don't hate any of them. I don't really like the way Cam was acting...but who knows sometimes people are just in poo moods. But, the questions are just so predictably uninteresting.  I can see why Cam would be annoyed even if I think it was rude.

It's sort of an extension of my opinion of  the questions Chris Kroeger has been asking guests recently.

There are 342 threads in here about the Bills having our former players. Person asking a question along those lines is not uninteresting, it's a pretty significant storyline. 

But whatever...I gotta go read about how Tolbert is giving plays away now. Bye!

That's why it's boring. These guys follow behind instead of leading the conversations. It's just continuing the same talk but on a different platform.

Except they're talking to the players about it. Which is MUCH more interesting than message board people's opinions on it.

It doesn't seem like a lot of people have watched Cam's Wednesday pressers before. He always has the attitude of not wanting to be there. Probably because he knows he's walking a mine field of coaches speak and reporters hot takes.

Did you see how he became interested once the talk turned to the media 40? That's genuine Cam it seems. He even mentioned the hurtful subtext he has to endure from the people in the room.

As far as Joe goes, meh. He's relatively indistinguishable from the rest of the media from my perspective. Rodrigue is the only one fresh and new that I've seen. But they're all just doing their jobs. I'll laugh at them but no hate.

To an extent yes. In the past we looked to the press (In Sports especially) to lead the smart dialog. If they are just people with access to ask questions from and rehash stuff from social media that's not much to strive for.

Now Luis Moreno Jr is a guy who understands what hes saying and cares about knowing a thing or two. More of him would be nice.

Cam was in a pissy mood the whole press conference. I was cringing very badly. I didn't even make it to the 4:20 mark. Im a huge Cam supporter, but just answer the questions man and quit being a dick. They aren't asking anything crazy or trying to get dirt out of you. They are basic questions. You get paid in the 8 figures to be a professional athlete. Just take those 10 minutes to be professional and lose the attitude. I expect poop but Im just being honest. Its extremely irritating
