"Tell the truth, I don't hang out in Jacksonville very much.  It's a pretty boring place.  No clubs to speak of."    

"You've been practicing against Blake Bortles, who struggled last year.  What are you seeing out of Blake in the OTAs?"  

"He throws at least 2 picks in every practice.  And sometimes, he drops back and the ball flies out of his hand like it's got grease on it."  

"Have you met Tom Coughlin yet?"  

"Yeah, I met him.  He's pretty old.  Someone told me he's pretty grumpy, so I try to avoid him."  

"How do you think the Jags will do this year?"

"Another losing season probably.  But they gave me a lot of money, so I'm happy."

Blah blah blah

Boy i hope you're being sarcastic because its really sad if you being this negative.

I was (clumsily, perhaps) trying to make the point that athlete interviews are pointless, because they give careful answers that are completely predictable.  How's Blake Bortles doing?   Blake looks great.  How do you like your coach?  I really like and respect him.  How do you like Jacksonville?  It's a beautiful city.   Blah blah blah. 

I don't blame them at all, because if they say anything remotely interesting, they get raked over the coals by every talk radio and talk TV person in the country.
