As someone who has worked for  The Media™ for 17+ years now I feel qualified enough to specifically say: gently caress the Media. The histrionics and hand wringing and straight-up self righteousness when the media/reporters get even the slightest hint of disrespect or a perceived slight is hilarious. Newsflash Mr. Reporterman: literally no one actually gives a gently caress about you. And some dude who doesn't want to give you the same tired one-liners over and over isn't "keeping you from doing your job". God I hate that excuse. Reporters now are sooooo loving sensitive these days. Now that I've gotten that off my chest: I totally welcome bringing this thread back into the limelight!

I've never thought it was really any sort of "sticking it to the man" deal - I've always read/seen/heard it was "had a bad interaction w/ media dude(s) in Buffalo and pretty much doesn't want to deal with them at all anymore" but who the hell really knows except him.

What is funny to me is that if he had just answered questions normally virtually nothing would have been written about him, as compared to what he did. The reporters should have been so pumped up that he chose an path that let them throw out FIREY HOT TAKES about nothing. Next year the media should be up for lifetime achievement for their hysterics about this and the patriot ball deflating thing IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF!

let's get Warren Sapp in here "Cops say two women told police they were at the hotel "as escorts" and went to Sapp's room, where an argument broke out over money. The women claim the argument turned physical and spilled out into the hallway." Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2015/02/02/warren-sapp-arrested-arizona-super-bowl-soliciting-a-prostitute/#ixzz3QdCrAJ4q

You really think it's douchey to voluntarily seek treatment? I mean, court-ordered rehab is one thing but come on

No Safe Word posted:You really think it's douchey to voluntarily seek treatment? I mean, court-ordered rehab is one thing but come on For real. I'd understand if you want to nominate him for enabling Gordon and being a distraction, but I posit that if you truly believe Johnny is guilty for seeking treatment then it might be you who is the douche.

Yeah, kind of like how we have a no high crimes rule we should probably make anyone legitimately seeking help for their issues ineligible.

He did wait til after the season to go though, implying it's not the most important thing to him. I kind of find that honestly refreshing though.

It could also imply that he didn't realize he needed help until he hit rock bottom later in the season, or that the coaches tried to make him wait in order to keep him from being a "distraction". Of course all of that is totally useless speculation and is counterproductive to this thread. We don't know why he waited. We do know that he is voluntarily going to rehab. There's no reason not to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He has been in rehab since last Weds. Agents and team probably wanted to wait until after the SB to announce so team personnel and players didn't get bombarded on radio row and the craziness that is media week. Also, the Browns season was effectively over in week 10 or 11, and even had they been in playoff contention its been over for a full month, so its not like he entered rehab the day after the last game. Something probably happened that made him realize he needs help. From a PR perspective, the announcement is perfect timing because everyone is talking about the game.

I agree with Chiche. By all accounts JFF voluntarily checked himself in for treatment of a serious and potentially life-destroying mental health issue. That's like the one thing he's done that doesn't count as doucheness. loving hell, even Colin loving Cowherd said so.

It was interesting to hear Skip's take (OK hear me out here) on Manziel because i swear I remember at one point a couple years ago there was an interview with Bayless and I could swear he mentioned having an alcoholic father.
