Rivera Walks out on Media Session

yeah, but that ignores the fact Bill behaved the same way before he won all those games.   It isn't like Belichick started acting like that only when he got Brady and became a good coach.  I mean, what Ron did isn't really a story or unusual. 

Oh, it's definitely a story, at least in Pantherland. And it's probably not a story Ron needed given everything else that's going on.

Now, if he wins on Sunday, it'll probably go away. But if he loses on Sunday, then he has to stand in front of the same reporters he walked out on having just lost a game.

Not hoping we lose but if/when we do, I can't wait to watch him squirm.

Pat Kirwan is one of the most respected football men in the media. 

I have no idea if he actually said any of this, but if he did, it’s probably coming from a place of experience. 

That was the gist, obviously he said it a lot more eloquently than I summarized.

Being the smartass that I am, I would have asked, do you think Arizona is preparing for Cam?  

[ncstatekwi]

Panther's website cuts the video short so you don't even see the end of that!

[SmokinwithWilly]

Important questions missed. 

After seeing that Reid video with the 55 inch vertical jump, do you think it's possible for him to "sack" Murray without using his hands?

Also would that be considered illegal contact to the head?

I mean someone will sneeze at restaurant and someone will make it a story in today's world.  And yeah, some people will fake outrage over that. 

but really, what Ron did has been done a billion times by better and worse coaches. 

[AceBoogie]

0% chance Cam plays Sunday 

[BananaGrabber]

Wait, so this is honestly a "story"? Why?

Every coach/player should walk out of every press conference. It should actually be rare when someone does stay and answer the same useless question over and over for 13 minutes with a camera in their face.

I'd agree it's relatively minor, but it's relative to Ron's position.

When you're on the hot seat - and let's be real, Ron is - stuff like this isn't a good look.

He has a young backup QB about ready to go play a must win road game....and that is a must win for a LOT of people. 

So yeah, frankly I agree w/ Ron.  He has better things to do than entertain reporters droning on about Cam when has got nothing for them on that.   I mean, Ron can't get away w/ that every presser.  But I certainly give him that rare wiggle room to call it off.  Ron in general talks more than most coaches.   He has a lot of work to do before they fly out. 

There is a ton of stuff to bash Ron on.  But dealing w/ reporters isn't a negative of his.  I'd say today's incident is on a group of reporters who failed to recognize a situation and how good they have had it. 

[TPanther920]

It is not the question. Ron it answered once. It is the same question 6 times. The reporters can go eat a poo sandwich. Dumbasses. What the hell did they expect.

[ellis]

There was literally nothing new to offer on the Cam front. I know everybody wants to know more, but when you start to get the sense that nobody’s going to give you anything on that, it’s a good idea to start asking other questions.

Relevant questions.

Disagree, but like I said, we'll see what happens Sunday.
