Blake Bortles press conference

#81

Quote:id probably also think defense attorneys were swell if I was one

 

im just not crazy about reporters.  they got their microphones and cameras shoved in people's faces.  just doesn't appeal to me.  to each their own.

 

they constantly ask leading questions to get that SEXY quote.  they are scum.

 
OK... well.. your opinion is it is a waste of time.

 

Maybe there are some that think just like you.

It isn't a waste of time though. Reporters and media have to write columns, blogs, and have pieces for T.V. 

The whole 10 minutes wasted made a bunch of peoples work day.

So...

let's say you're a fry cook. But everyone thinks fries are a waste of time.... so they don't order any. Now McD's has no use for you. So you get fired... or demoted to toilet cleaner...

 

But what if having clean toilets is wasting time? I mean, people just gonna pee and poo in them anyway....

Everything we do in life can be seen a "wasting time" if you devalue it enough.

hey, you know, people have differing opinions.  I wouldn't get too worked up over this.

We got worked up over it because your opinion gave us the impression you lack some important knowledge.

 

We obviously must agree to disagree here.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Im sorry me not caring for sports press conferences gave you the impression that I think Obama needs to shut down the free press and that I don't care about people losing their lives overseas. lol

Quote:Oh ya, TMZ putting their lives on the line for the common good.  lol get real man.  The real reporters you are referring to have no interest in what Blake Bortles had for breakfast.  Surely you can see the difference.

 
Wow.  This reporting is serious business in your eyes.  Is Vito supposed to do something death defying while he's at one of these pressers?  Maybe harness up and take a leap with the mascot?

 

I find it quite interesting that you're griping about how uninteresting this press conference was, and how Blake could have been doing something better with his time.  You seem to be getting awfully worked up over something that's pretty insignificant in your eyes.  Were you forced to watch?

My goodness, what has happened to our board? Arguing over the importance of a friggin press conference? Anyway Blakes awesomeness allowed him to just project a hologram of himself  to the presser while he was also studying film and throwing passes.


Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.

Nobody ever said anything like that. All we are saying is 10 minutes of answering questions is not a waste of time. You have not been able to explain why it is.

Exactly. During the preparations for the presser, the video showed Blake throwing the ball around during practice this morning.

Yes, TMD is right here making a new batch of spicy chicken nuggets.  He said hi.
 

I hated to jump to your defense, but this is the basic point I would have made.

 

I think your cohort in this discussion is being a tad bit touchy on the topic.

 

Edit:  I do think press conferences are important.  While he may not answer any life changing questions, you can get a feel for their mind set.

I would rather have too much coverage than not enough, just me.

No I listened to it while driving to lunch and was just pointing out how dumb they are.

 

Guys like Vito don't hold back any punches like calling for other people to get fired... so, im sure these kinds of reporters can handle some guy on a message board saying mean things about em

I just want to win games.  Bortles likely lost an hour of his life so Vito could write an article about what time he shows up for work.

Life is about balancing responsibilities so you can make the most of the time you are given. If without the 10 minutes or hour he could have been studying film he didn't improve to become elite then he was never going to be elite in the first place.
